That was lame. I think the ref should have put them back on their feet. I know Roy was in control, but he was just throwing weak punches not doing any damage but just doing it to rack up points. He is a fat fuck who got on Kimbos head, and won because he couldnt get the fat off his head.
That said, Kimbo wasnt even trying to get out, so I dunno. Weak Sauce. |

kimbo actually looked pretty decent. he stopped the takedowns well for the most part, had good hands. his transition blocking is a bit cack and he's a bit too stiff on his feet, doesn't circle enough but i'm sure he can learn them easily enough.
nelson was ok. seems like a very boring fighter, he didn't have to hit hard so he didn't. i can see why dana would be annoyed cause if i had to pay to see one of those guys fight it'd be kimbo every time, even if you took out his whole back story and just had him as the fighter he is now. rampage is still a fucking terrible cornerman. i don't know why he doesn't just shut the fuck up and let the actual coaches do the shouting. "get up get up get up get up" as if that hadn't occurred to kimbo previously. |

...Kimbo didn't do a damn thing to try and get up from bottom position. He didn't try to buck, he didn't try to scoot over to even try and establish guard. He didn't do anything. He just laid their like a useless slug. The stoppage was just, cause Kimbo flat out gave up on the ground. It was the same exact thing that happened to him in the James Thompson. Which shows to me that Kimbo either doesn't want to grow, or is too slow of a learner to compete. Kimbo's ground defense was a joke. That and I'm not impressed with Kimbo's "power." He hit Roy flush a few times and didn't knock him down. |

I was impressed with Kimbo's ability to last past the first round against Roy, and the fact that some of his standup was decent. Not crazy power but he can definitley swing.
Dana gave Roy a bad rap, so the fuck what if Roy "only did enough to win", dude's gotta fight a bunch of other fights why would he want to risk perhaps breaking his hand or giving up position if he can get thefight stopped by throwing low risk punches? |

Roy deserved to win that fight the way he did, tbh. Whether the punches were soft or not, he trapped Kimbo in the same crucifix trap TWICE. He neutralized Kimbo's obvious physical superiority by locking Kimbo into a position where he could not defend himself. Hats off to Roy.

Thing about Dana White is, he likes fighters that leave it all out there, not fighters who squeak by..

I think Dana forgets that MMA is a mental game sometimes. Roy incapacitated Kimbo and got a legit win using his experience and cage smarts. It seems like Dana just wants explosiveness and bloodshed all the time which is cool but it's not what the sport is all about. Not something you'd expect from the President of the fucking UFC.

If it weren't for Dana White UFC (actually MMA in general in America)would have gone under like 8 years ago, instead of being on tv every day of the week..

Right. And I understand exciting fights are good for publicity and television but it's a little unrealistic to think that these guys are going to go trailblazing after each other with wreckless abandon every single time. Especially on TUF where you must fight anywhere up to 3 fights in an extremely short period of time. An intelligent victory should be praised, not shit on by the President of the company. That's alls I'm sayin here.

its not gonna make him money though, that's the thing. i dont think any fighter happy to continuously get points victorys in the UFC would last very long. we'll see how it pans out though.

Point victory? Are you speaking of Roy's win? It was a TKO.

i know i know. i guess what i am trying to say is the UFC is pretty big on explosive endings. cause that sells better. i guess what i am trying to say is nelson's attitude towards the whole thing might not be in line with the UFCs and the direction they are trying to go. i think everyone knows they will use every loophole possible to get kimbo to win this series somehow or another, it's a bit gay really.

watched it last night. I was dissapointed Kimbo lost, but he looked pretty good standing up. he was moving around a lot and got a few good shots in.
when he went down that was another story and we all knew it was coming. Apparently the show was the highest rated TUF ever, so you can bet your ass Kimbo will be back. |

yeah, it's blatantly a matter of when not if kimbo makes it into the ufc now. even if he has to go away and train some more and reappear in another TUF a couple of years down the line, he is worth too much to dana not to. it's cool though, he's an interesting fighter and he actually seems like a really good guy which surprised me. Even if he isn't there as a fighter and liable to get smashed in no time the last thing the UFC need is a Fedor/Kimbo fight.

Damn, i cant find the link...but on Yahoo Sports, they said Dana Whites planning on signing Kimbo regardles. I think thats a full blown conclusion at this point. Even if he doesnt rack up wins, he'll always be a draw...

Interesting interview for Roy Nelson. I disagree with the whole LHW just being a "Stand and Bang" division, but I think it's interesting how he isn't phased by the whole "He's just a fatass" dismissal. And he's right: the fight SHOULD have been stopped in the first. |

Nelson sucks too though. Watching the fight made me cringe a little. I mean either fighter could easily been ko'd by a fast/quick striker. But that's what they are there for to improve.

The Nelson/Arlovski fight was interresting because of a questionable stand-up (which occured WHILE Nelson was working for a Kimura.). It was the only time he got stopped.

The ratings for the fight are through the roof. But Dana has always argued that with Kimbo, it's not that he can draw, it's how he draws.
Smart business to take a draw, and teach him how to fight. Fucking loooooooong way to go yet, mind. |

I used to dislike Kimbo. He was a thug on the internet beating up nobodies. When I watched his first fight I was hoping he'd lose. Then he did and now he gets another chance to get in MMA and I'm rooting for him.

no really nelson doesnt suck at all. He tried to take as little damage in the fight and work as little as possible so that he was fresh for the tournament. He is actually one of the best ground fighters in MMA. He even beat frank mir in a grappling match. And besides tell me how many heavyweights out there fall under the umbrella of fast/quick strikers.
