The white guy is already annoying me with the way he talks. It sounds like he's using an acting voice. The other 2 are okay though.

This show is already not what the sport of MMA needs to debut on National television with.

They better hope the ACTUAL fights, which by the way 20 mins in we still have yet to start, save the show.

Gus Johnson is fantastic.

So far highlight of the show has been the fact that Rob and Big were running security for a fighter.

What's up with these dancers?

I predict Baroni gets beatdown.

It seems more like a WWE PPV.

It feels more like an old school TNA PPV.

Told you.

So two new highlights. Baroni getting knocked out, not because it was particularly incredible or anything, I just fucking hate Baroni. Second is seeing Gina because I love her.

Newest and best highlight for this evening. HELLBOY II Trailer!

You can look but don't touch.

omg in love with Gina :love::drool:

They both look good.

Brock is gonna need some luck against herring

Has there ever been a nipple slip in women's MMA?

Is she seriously going for a gogo?

If I didn't know the bias against womans MMA I would have said a long time ago this should have opened the show considering the card.

1st round 10-9 Gina.

Good good round. Gina needed to open up desperately before going for that submission. She was gassing though.

She was pretty close to knocking her out.

lol she really did go for the gogo. Still in love. :drool:

Xtreme Couture with another win.

I know he trains with Bas but I hope Kimbo gets knocked the fuck out.

So how many unprotected shots to the head does Kimbo have to take before the match is stopped?

I kind of argee with that stoppage right there, but if you are stopping that you had to stop it in the 2nd round when Kimbo was getting his ass beat.

Kimbo lucked the fuck out that he hit that ear. Kimbo had lost that fight.

I can't agree with that stop, his ear popped yeah, but you pop ears anyway when they get that bad. It wasn't in his eyes and he would have been fine.

lol he's not that good on the ground Kimbo, you're just sorry on the floor.

I realize he was on his, but he was pretty much knocked out. His eyes were glazed over.

There have been fights stopped like that before.

Yeah, and those calls were bullshit too.

*on his feet

It should have been stopped in the 2nd round.

That ear was creepy. I couldn't stop staring at it the whole time. It sounds like Kimbo lost some fans tonight.

Because he was clearly saved by the promoters and was exposed by a can.

Oh my GOD does Kimbo suck!

How can you possibly agree with the stoppage? You can only stop a fight when a fighter is in NO condition to continue fighting. Fuck his ear. There ain't a fighter out there with a set of balls who would have stopped because they had a fucked ear. They let Matt Hamill fight and he is fucking deaf for Christ sake.

Total bullshit stoppage.

Gina Carano - Stop making excuses for not making weight you fat cunt.

Robbie Lawler - Fucking lucky to come away with that belt.

Phil Baroni - :rofl:

That show did nothing except make Dana Whites head bigger

I cant say enough about how bad it was

did i say it was bad?

cuz it was

bad that is

I've seen worse but fucking hell!

It would have been better for EliteXC and Kimbo if they kept the fight going because it looked like Kimbo was going to knock him out and fans love that shit.

yea but this was a network television show... not the time to fuck up that bad

-5-10 more seconds and Thompson was out, but for a guy getting a push like Kimbo, that won't cut it. Kimbo needed a definite stoppage. Mazzagotti would have stopped the fight in the 2nd round.

-I don't care if she weighed in 4.5 lbs overweight, I'm in love with Gina Carano. hottest gogoplatta attempt ever.

I never said anything about is ear. He was knocked out on his feet. Eyes were rolled back in his head. He was clearly in no condition to fight. Therefore good stoppage.

However I still say it should have been stopped in the 2nd.

Yes though the show was bad.

Brett Rogers called out Kimbo at the press conference, saying he saw Kimbo tap out in the 1st to the guillotine, said Kimbo's fight was garbage.

Knocked out his feet my arse. When people get hit, their eyes move. It wasn't like he took a punch and then did his standing impression of the Undertaker. If he did, I'd have no problems.

Didn't he say it was in the second? I dunno. I didn't see a tap but I only watched it once.

Gina is good looking and a great fighter and even though she won , the way she interviewed seemed like her heart isn't 100% in mma. But hopefully she keeps fighting.

I thought Kimbo had tapped too I think in the 2nd round it was ..but the announcers said he was giving a signal that he was 'ok' so I dunno. Premature stoppage though.

In the Smith/Lawler fight I think when they were throwing haymakers , Johnson called one of the punches a can opener. Isnt that a submission hold?? Never heard a punch called that.

No contest in that fight with a finger poke. In the UFC, Vitor Belfort beat Randy Couture with one. How the fuck are these athletic commissions not on the same page?

Finger Poke of Doom!

:lol: It was for Belfort because Couture came back and fucking killed that poor prick.

I thought kimbo tapped too at first but it was right in front of the ref and he didnt do anything about it so i figured it was him giving a thumbs up or saying hes OK.

Its not the commission's call I dont think... I think its just the ref's call and I think theyre protecting Lawler too.

Yeah that show seemed fixed by the promoters to me. Like how boxing is now.

And fuck Phil Baroni. 3rd time in a row he's let me down.

So pumped for Faber.

im so torn on this fight... i cant decide who i want to win

Anybody esle watch the Faber-Pulver fight?

It was tremendous.

It's not the refs call. He can't pull a no contest because he feels like it. It's the commission. Just like the commissions in California and Las Vegas have different rules.

Shame this wasn't on network TV really. Damn good fight.

Call me crazy but it looked like Thompson was paid off to not finish Kimbo. Honestly, for a guy with 24ish fights he couldn't keep Kimbo on his back, are you kidding. Kimbo just rolled and the guy was off. When Thompson had Kimbo's head exposed he was throwing the softest punches and elbows I had ever seen. Little girls punch harder. The standing guiloteen was week, he did not stand up straight and arch his back like JJ 101 states.

I dunno, Thompson looked bad, real bad, too bad for a guy with experience.

I'd call you crazy. No way is Thompson taking a dive on one of the biggest MMA shows ever (certainly in terms of TV importance). He could have made himself a star in one night.

Kimbo vs Thompson was a fix

I'm sorry, those punches and elbows were weaker then RVD's in pro wrestling. That was embarressing how much he was purposley holding back. THen that stoppage. WOW. THe worst stoppage i've ever seen for sure. And Kimbo laying on the ground exhausted and relieved. So embarressing. CBS and Elite XC just need to be shot in the face.

The Lawler fight stoppage was horrible too. REminded me of that Severn vs Shamrock fight where they wouldnt fight because of the state rules. But these guys were fighting and someone gets poked in the eye. Did you guys here the other corner saying " He's ok we want to continue " and they stopped it anyways. I wanted to puke right then and there.

probably one of the best fights of the year.

Again no way was it a fix. Fixing the fight and getting caught would kill MMA.

Watch the fight, Thompson had a weak ground and pound.

Anyone think that the punches were weak because the guy was in horrible shape and had been knocked loopy? .... You guys are right. Thompson has WAY too much experience to come in out of shape.

One of the judges scored the 2nd round in favor of Slice ...wow

fixed. It was a fix. That wasnt no fucking weak ground and pound. He was pulling punches hardcore. I've watched twice now. Its rediculous.

Guys, Elite XC sucks..

I am ashamed as an MMA fan that that card was what was shown to alot of non MMA fans.. Now if they had shown the WEC card from last night, :drool:..

Faber/Jens was awesome and that Torres/Jap guy fight was one of the best fights ever..

Also, the local CBS coverage fucked up and didn't show the Kimbo fight here.. We went outside to burn one and when we came back in, the whole show had restarted and ran for about 30 minutes then went off the air.. They never showed the main event, I just watched it online..

p.s. did anyone watch that Ultimate Iceman thing??

Is the UFC Affliction ban officially over? Watching the countdown show for the London show and they're showing an awful lot of affliction logos and shirts during Vera's segment.

No.

Just thinking about EliteXC I get so mad about Mauro Ranallo. He wouldn't let Gus Johnson got excited. He would keeep talking over him. Ranallo would keep telling all this useless information.

He reminded me of Mike Tenay.

:y:

Faber is the man.

Hope Arlovski gets back to his former form..

it was confirmed on mma junkie too... too bad the scum hasnt talked to my coaches since his last fight.

I dunno if it's online or not but the newest issue of Rolling Stone has a great article about Dana White in it.. I know alot of people hate the guy but personally, I am a fan of his..

I'll see it the article is online, if not, I'll scan it for you guys..

I'd love to read it.

I like Dana. I just think he has let personal issues get in the way of business recently. And he has embarrassed himself as the big chief of the UFC with the way he treated his employees.

Im sure hes a nice enough guy but he has def let power and success go to his head to the point to which he thinks hes the baddest man in the ufc. Its almost ammusing.

Yeah he defo has the Vince McMahon complex now where he is making himself a TV personality.

On another note this video is awsome

Rampage on Kimmel was awesome by the way. Rampage needs his own sitcom.

HAHA I saw that too. I really hope he gets that role on the new A Team

I demand a show with Rampage and Bas

UFC is meant to be making some huge announcement next Thursday that will rock the world of MMA.

I'm betting it's a ABC deal.

It's 100% not a TV deal so I was wrong. Probably announcing a show in NYC.

Predictions for tonight.

Davis, Bisping, Vera, Hughes and Nate The Great all to win. Hopefully I'm seriously wrong with Hughes though.

Dan Miragliotta strikes again

Tom Gugliotta

ppl are saying its going to be floyd mayweather..... and you are wrong anout hughes :D

I popped sooooooooo loud when Alves fucking humbled this motherfucker. I'll meeting someone from the UFC for lunch in like an hour so I might be able to weasel some info from him.

Im hearing silva at 205, tv deal with fox, mayweather going to ufc, 145 class coming to the ufc (which is what I think the announcement is) and liddel headlining the atlanta card.

LOL Mayweather is not going to UFC. I dont believe it at all.

The announcement is FUCKING HUGE! I just heard about it and I'm sworn to silence.

It's already been mentioned here though and not by me. That's all I can say.

A sitcom with Rampage and Bas debuting on Spike Tv in the fall?

pm it to me

The universe would crumble around the awesomeness of that show.
