Fan in San Diego Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 It was pretty lame for the most part. The women fighting was the most entertaining. But it didnt look like mixed martial arts fighting to me. Looked like school yard fighting for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huuuge Bills Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 The part that bothered me was the terrible refs. The fights were being stopped kind of early, and that was god awful refing in the Kimbo fight. Colosus (or whatever his name was) had side control and was dropping elbows, and he stood it up. Wha? Then he stops the fight when both fighters are still standing, and both were still throwing punches. I have a funny feeling that they were stopping it early because it was the first fight on a national broadcast. They probably wanted to keep it clean and "safe". IMO they ruined the night by doing it. I'll stick to UFC, WEC, and boxing on ESPN for my fight needs. Speaking of WEC, you gonna watch the big fight tonight? I love watching Faber fight, and Pulver can knock anyone out. Should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really kicking myself as I was watching those fights that I didn't lay any money on them....First time in primetime on a national network, was there ANY DOUBT that CBS, Ultimate XC, and the refs were going to MAKE SURE that the "hot girl" and Kimbo got the victories??? Those were the locks of the year and I blew it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothrop Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Elite XC is the minor leagues of MMA - Scott Smith had a title shot? That guy was a UFC reject. Kimbo, Elite XC's main guy, would die in the UFC. His ground game was pathetic depite the Bas Rutten hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are top athletes who are skilled in a strategic combination of fighting arts. Now it is a sport whereas before it was a circus sideshow.
