mannpill.com — The Day Mixed Martial Arts Turned A Dark Corner. Did CBS / Showtime / EliteXC / Madison Avenue have that much riding on the shoulders of Kimbo Slice that they had to put a little insurance policy in case James Thompson actually showed up?

As hitchhiking goes, this is probably one of the most dangerous rides this bat will ever take...

  1. This is just sad. Kimbo Slice is a one trick pony and it's unbelievable that the whole EliteXC franchise will be built upon this guy. The fight should have been stopped in the second round when Kimbo was trapped and could not defend himself from Thompson's blows. That should have been it right there.

    The cut on Thompson's ear was not hindering his ability to intelligently defend himself in any way. All I could say was "WTF?!?" when the ref stopped the fight.

    I've seen stranger things happen on MMA and in boxing, but this reeks of fight fixing right from the start. Good call by the author.

    As for me, I am never watching any card with Kimbo Slice ever again. Not unless he gets his face bashed in and gets KTFO'ed.

  2. This is also business. Sad to say, it is all about the money as other popular sports. There is a guy here, who became famous by the internet, a known fighter now. It is a great opportunity for MMA to build up growing on him. And they know this!

  3. I love to watch kimbo fight but he did tap out early in the first round. The refs didint stop the fight but his opponent felt the tap and loosend up allowing Kimbo another chance.

  4. @ih8mondays I agree with every thing you said the fight should have been stopped in the second round but when the refs did stop the fight Johnsons eyes were spinning in circles.

  5. I can just picture UFC president Dana White laughing out loud with the mockery of a show CBS put on.

  6. @mortalwind - I know what your talking about in regards to his tap, but if you check out cagepotato - they showed it up close and he was giving a thumbs up. It did look like a tap, but it wasn't. I checked again also. It did look like it at first glance though.

    As far as the fight being fixed... not sure, but the 2 minutes of Kimbo getting punched and elbowed in the head at the end of round 2 not being stopped... then after 4 punches (not producing a knockdown) to Thompson... they call it. Sux - definitely no doubt who they wanted to win. No doubt at all.

    @lamarkarmor - oh yeah, for sure... he probably got a lil extra drunk watching that. Then the next night when WEC (a UFC company now) had a fantastic card and a HUGE main event... he prolly got even more wasted.
