EliteXC on CBS tonight


Recommended Posts

MMA will be featured on network television for the first time ever tonight, with the EliteXC event. It's truly got a mediocre card:

Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson versus James Thompson

Robbie Lawler versus Scott Smith.

Gina Carano versus Kaitlin Young

Phil Baroni versus Joey Villasenor

Brett Rogers versus Jon Murphy

The prelim fights were supposed to be streamed on proelite.com, but instead the actual event itself is being streamed. but hey, its the first foray of MMA into mainstream media, so I am all for it.

well, the Lawler Smith fight was immense, too bad it got called.

Kimbo should have been tko'ed end of the second round, he wasnt defending for crap for almost 2 minutes.

The chics fight shouldnt have been called either. That doctor should be forever banned from MMA event work.

All in all, it was rather strange because it was done in a mainstream TV sort of way. The fights left plenty to be desired. Meh, 6/10.

ok so here's the deal... Elite XC is so very obviously rigged. Don't mistake this for complaining or whining about the card, because any real MMA fan that watched this will undoubtedly say the same thing. The Lawler vs Smith fight?? Come on, are you serious, you call a stoppage for a thumb in the eye, after you CLEARLY did not give him his 5 min rest time??

Then the Kimbo fight..there is really no need to even go into it, it was so obvious. Thompson, who fought like ass, starts the fight with a HUGE cauliflower ear (which either should have been drained or he should have been x'd off the card) he beats Kimbo's head against the canvas repeatedly at the end of the second and there was no stoppage, kimbo could have seriously been injured and was visibly hurt. Then they come out in the 3rd and they call a stop because Thompson's ear is bleeding?? are you serious, did you not see that coming?? or did the blood just frighten that moron of a ref? Since when are fights stopped because someone starts bleeding?

Think about it for a second... Kimbo is EliteXC (and CBS) cashcow...they hold him on a pedestal, everyone at that event tonight was screaming for Kimbo, he has a huge fan base (which is sad for MMA) If he were to lose in his 3rd MMA fight, against a loser of Thompson's caliber it would be a huge downfall for elite xc and Kimbo would lose any small bit of credibility that he ever had. It was so obviously rigged.

And if you don't believe my opinion have a look at the 700+ others who feel the exact same way here.

Elite XC lost all respect from me and i will never watch another card that does not involve Gina Carano.

I wouldn't even watch her again. She fights like crap, and there are much prettier chicks out there to watch do other things.

That was a joke right?

Saying something like Gina Carano fights like crap, i'm guessing you're a big fan of Kimbo and his amazing talents.

We did watch the same fight last night right? Young had the better looking first round, at a time when neither found their range or did much that was effective. Carano landed a nice flurry at the end of round 2, but that was the only real highlight of the entire fight. I think it was a BS call for the Doc to have stopped the fight. But then, they have to preserve her perfect record, as she is "the face of female fighting". Oh, and we can't forget just how much she is advancing the sport for women. She hasn't made weight in 5 fights, even in a weight class designed just for her; and then to top it all of, she can't stop giggling in her post fight interview.

Hell, the only decent fight of the entire night was the Lawler v Smith bout. Everything else was Mickey Mouse bull****

Dude are you insane? Seriously. I went back and watched the Carano fight again just incase i overlooked something that YOU think you seen and it was very clear AGAIN to me that Carano won both rounds, and it was a more deserving stoppage then the Kimbo fight. Her eye was almost swollen shut, which would mean she wasn't able to see clearly, which means it was a valid stop as apposed to Thompson's ear bleeding. I agree about the weight thing, that is in issue that needs fixing but she clearly won both rounds, Young only had a few good kicks, but nothing to affect the fight in any way.

I urge anyone that believes this dude to watch the fight again.. cause i'm pretty sure he's talking about a different fight.

His ear isn't almost falling off. It's a cauliflower ear; that is a large pocket of fluid in his ear, making it flop around like that. thats where all that blood came from is when it got hit a few times square on.

Still.... it's Bleeding all over the place!

I know I would never play a damn sport where I would end up like that. :p

Kimbo is a Beast (Pun intended), he got hair everywhere, kinda like a huge gorilla!

I wonder since his connection to porn, he get Laid by Hot hoes all the time?

That was a joke right?

I like Fedor "The Last Emperor" Emelianenko, and I think everyone single person in EliteXC is a joke, Gina Carano is no exception. Which is why I watch Strikeforce, UFC, and Pride Fighting championships, and fight as an amateur fighter in a local KOTC network. You want to push the subject?

Thanks for telling me that you're a fanboy of Fedor... but nobody asked you that. You call Gina Carano a joke because YOU choose to watch something else.. and then you make some BS comments about pushing the subject because you are a know it all amateur fighter?

I don't care if you're an amateur fighter, or just a fan of MMA, you're opinions are your opinions as are mine. So yeah, i'll continue to push the subject, cause unless i see you headlining a professional event you're no more then the rest of us here, but feel free to stroke your ego as much as you need.

I have realized the error of posting at 1 in the morning. It means I have no idea what I'm talking about, I will post something halfway intelligible tomorrow.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2.
