Kimbo is just what he says he is, an out of shape brawler who could be beaten by at least 10 current heavy weights in the first round. Rock on Ben. Well written and well said.

Then it kept going so I thought maybe I was wong. I could swear I saw Kimbo Tap out in the first round as well. Then it kept going so I thought maybe I was wong.

Noticing that the guillotine might be on "too tight" Miragliotta asks if Kimbo is ok - thumbs up. "Thompson I'm gonna stand you up if you don't ahem 'work' wink//wink" - awkward side control stand up. Next day "Ok boss (to Shaw) I lost, so pay me that Win bonus we discussed!" Shaw: "My god you fucktard, Fine, fine just shut the hell up about it. never happened!" "But boss, you said... oh! oh right , yeah never happened wink//wink" To press "Kimbo didn't tap" (ok boss, money nao? Can has?) Sorry for the idiocy of this post, I actually attained a strange zen-like stupidity while watching these fights. ElightenmentXC, we'll call it.

Keep up the good work. One thing that I always have thought about the Brock Lesnar debut fight, was that it was the opposite mentality, but not because the UFC is so fair and unbiased. It was specifically set up for Brock to fail. I think to prove that no WWE wrestler could just come into the premier MMA League and dominate. Brock's fight was definitely set up with his weaknesses in mind to prove the superiority of MMA vs. any one style. I actually think Dana White did want Brock to lose that fight to make a case for MMA in general. Finally, Smackdaddiest1, your NBA comparison doesn't work as well since it was just discovered to be 'fixed' this year (You know the whole Donaghy thing, oh you don't, well nevermind then).

The typical EXC shows on Showtime are nothing like that goat-rope they put out there on Sat. Why they couldn't just run it like ever other EXC event is freakin' beyond me. Think of how differently the take would have been if the Shamrock/Le event was the one put out there instead. I still don’t understand the end product from EXC/CBS.
