You’re right, I find plenty of things wrong with the matches. But there were plenty of things right about them as well. You said it was the worst night of MMA ever, and you’re nowhere near being right. Good fights overall, 4 of 5 early finishes…I’d say that’s pretty good.

You’re so cool dude, I would love to get you in a ring.

Hey I already said I couldn’t vouch for the Ricco and Silva fight…I’ve never been sold on Ricco. Unfortunately he’s got just enough ring experience to grind out 3 rounds with an otherwise talented Silva. And for Kimbo and Tank, what did you expect….really? You still tuned in even though you knew you weren’t gonna see a display of talent, so eat shit you fake ass fan.

And for Thompson/Rogers, we all knew he’d get his head knocked off…but that never gets boring in my opinion. But I’ll stand by what I said and say that Edwards put on an amazing show and a basically flawless performance. The aussie also did pretty well the first round as far as his boxing skills go, but as soon as Smith found his range, his power prevailed.

Bonnar/Forrest? You go right ahead, witness another defenseless slugfest, which is exciting but in no way resembles MMA. UFC has aired several nights of fighting that were far less exciting than this show, so like I said, stick to cable tv sucka

Steve O you said it yourself lets recap a glass jaw in a fight that sounds interesting. A overweight drunk vs. a thug from the street in a KO wow i am amused now and lets not forget the rehaber that looks like he just left white castle. Your right that was a great night. I should ask your opinion more often.

Steve O Are you fucking crazy. They bring in a drunk to fight a guy 2 fights off the street an the fight prior they have a fighter fresh off celeb rehab on vh1 and you think it was good. The only decent fight televised was Smiths knockout. Even that was way to long. Smith looked like shit in the first but looked like the Smith I have seen before in the second. So stick to your Blogs and posts to entertain yourself. I am always waiting for another fight like either one of the Bonner/ forest fights. Smith should have beatin the ausi 10 sec into the first.

I agree with all yall. Kimbo needs to fight someone with some talent. Lets see, an old ex-boxer, a dude with a 10-10 record, and yes good ol Tank. Come on, even my 8 year old daughter could beat them. Granted, Kimbo does look pretty good, but until he goes up against someone who actually has some talent, we will never know how good he really is. Now, Edwards is the man. That was one hell of a knockout. Other than that, a despicable night for MMA. Very disappointing.

Like we all are saying, if Kimbo actually took on someone with skill and ability, he wouldn’t last past the second round. Until that happens, Kimbo is nothing more than an internet sensation, not a MMA fighter.

pathetic…feel sorry for Tank but i shouldn’t…skillless bastage rode ‘er out for a long time.

KS will get destroyed by a HW or even LHW with skill and some lungs…and both he and Bas know it….he’ll ride (read MILK) it out like Tank…with ten times the hype.

btw, how did KS NOT make the Ugliest Mo Fos in MMA list???

MMA FAN: “That was the worst night of MMA I have ever seen televised.”

Are you serious dude? How many televised events have you seen? All the fights that were aired were pretty damn good minus the superheavyweight rehab-fest ricco rodriguez put on. Ok, Kimbo and Tank didn’t display much true MMA, but it was still pretty damn exciting. The Yves Edwards fight was an awesome display of talent, as was the Scott Smith fight. Bret Rogers didn’t display much offensive skill before knocking out glass-jaw Thompson, but his defense against the takedown and clinch game was great. Basically what you’re telling me by making a statement like that is that you’re a complete idiot and in no way are you a true MMA fan. You’re probably a part of the reality series onslaught of fake-ass fight fans, stick to cable tv douchebag.

Wait a second.. Are we talking about Tyson today fighting Kimbo or 19 year old Tyson vs Kimbo? I think 19 year old Tyson vs Kimbo would have been a good fight but Tyson would get beat nowadays I do believe.

kimbo vs. tyson would be another disappointing, short brawl. mike tyson is my fav boxer — i grew up watching and idolizing him. deep down inside, i really wish he could train in mma and become someone to be feared again, but even deeper down inside i know that the odds of that happening are about nil.

but damn you, mmafan for putting that fight into my imagination, now i can’t stop thinking about it…
