lol...if they’re looking for ratings, that would pull ‘em in bigtime. Guaranteed that CBS news anchor Kimbo Slice would get better ratings than Couric.

What a freak show.

Kimbo is not a Mixed Martial Artist, he is a thug.

Stick him in a boxing ring with the rest of the one dimensional thugs.

CBS would have been better served by demanding some quality instead a one time homeless guy fighting someone who hopes to one day be a tomato can.

I agree. Hamill handled Bisping and Bisping, like a punk, made a snide comment about Hamill going back to wrestling. Between Bisping and Nick Diaz, I don’t know who has less class.

Good post BPB. White has stuck to his guns and I commend him for that. Tito is a good fighter, but has lost a couple lately and has to play by the rules.

We saw what happened to older, over the hill fighters like Shamrock get beat up 3 times and White let him go out with dignity.

White is a class act, not perfect, but leading UFC the slow, steady and real way it should be ran.

He no sh!t has a grappling match over in Japan coming up. The dude is a badass, but most guys from Japan have had their issues with the cage, elbows, etx. I bet he’ll be back in the UFC someday.

I’ve liked Kimbo ever since I saw him punch that guys eyeball out of its socket on UTube.

My husband informed me that Kimbo is on CBS-TV tonight some headliner for Ultimate Fighting on a major broadcast channel. I still would like to see a Kimbo Versus Jet-Li matchup./Just Asking - seoul62........

That was completely fixed. No less than 40 unanswered elbows is fine but the ref calls a stoppage when Thompson is still standing and has enough wits about him to slap the ref for the BS stoppage? What a joke.

EliteXC sets MMA back 10 years.
