or so Rodgers says, shit event anyway, I hope crap like that doesn't turn off people from MMA, but I heard the ratings were pretty bad.

Thats crap I guess that means I wont get another chance to watch it. There was a telethon on my CBS channel that really made me upset.

Honestly? I thought I saw something that looked like a tap too. But his opponent sure didn't respond to it then. And neither did anyone else. And he didn't persist in tapping. So I think it's pretty much immaterial.

Generally speaking, though, CBS really did an awful job producing that whole event.

Ehh, by that I mean the officials. Obviously at least one guy, Rodgers, claims he did see it.

I love MMA/hated the fight/think Kimbo is over-rated just as much as anyone else, but I remember what you're all talking about and it wasn't a tap.

It was a 'thumbs-up' to the ref to let him know that britfag wasn't doing any damage to him, and he was happy to let him keep the hold in order to keep it standing.

The announcefags even commented on it. However, late in the second round, as britfag was raining down unmitigated forearms on Kimbo in the crucifix position, that fight would have been stopped for anyone else.

He wasn't (couldn't) defend himself, but the ref just let him absorb 2 minutes of unblocked forearm shots til he could be saved by the bell.

TL;DR the fix is in.

That would be fine, but the part they're talking about is the part in the GIF, not when he had him against the cage.

Because it is human cock fighting. What is there not to love? There is a reason MMA is killing boxing I just hope last nights shenanigans do not hurt it. They called that match to save their goldenboy kimbo wouldnt last a single round in the UFC.

Ref let the 2 minutes of shots go because the britfag was hitting him like a 3 year old, motherfucker had no power behind the shots nd the worst ground and pound i've ever seen.

In relation to the "tap" Kimbo was making sure the ref knew he was fine, wasn't a persistent tap, and the ref was looking right at it, and knew he was, so even if the fight was fixed, he'd have stopped it to save his own reputation. Ref knew it wasn't a tap, announcers knew, even random jersey guidos knew.

If the fight had kept going, kimbo would have just knocked him out, but the ear popping was clearly alot of blood and as everyone saw from every other event that night, CBS can't have that.

I'm not saying kimbo is the king of fighters, he's not even that good, but until someone can take him to the ground and make him stay there, he's going to keep winning by stoppage or KO. When he landed a blow on the britfags chin, I thought dudes neck was gonna break, his head went back so far.

IMO, the britfag did well, he was just the worst attacker ever.

Britfag failed at the guillotine... Kimbo's arm was inside the lock.

MMA is NOT for Network TV. This event was shite. The best match of the night got called, two bitches stole the show, and the suits freaked when they saw blood pour out of Thompson's ears.

Kimbo maybe over rated but it's not like he's doing all the hype. People just like the dude they saw his shit on youtube and what not. I thought the Robbie Lawler and Scott Smith was a pretty good fight though shame how it ended. Can't wait to see them go at it again.

Wow, /sp/ can't tell the difference between wrestling and MMA, who'd have known.

I sure do with tripfags were as good at trolling as CB is instead of just being fucking idiots and having it mistaken for trolling more often than not.

I just saw the fight on youtube. I think the fight was called to soon but kimbo had it won. Also in regards to him being beaten for 2 minutes and having it not be called he was giving the ref a thumbs up for nearly the entire time.

Kimbo struggled to beat this fucking chump. Thats Thompson 2-7 now for his last 9 fights. Kimbo has no ground game and if he goes against bigfoot of grim he will get fucked up.

Giving a thumbs-up does not mean you're intelligently defending yourself. Kimbo was helpless for 2 minutes on the ground.
>> Anonymous

He defended himself every oppurtunity he got. He had his arm trapped under his opponents leg most of the time, and had no means to defend himself. His opponent was barely hitting him, so the ref saw no need to stop the fight. Kimbo was putting his thumb up, so the ref used a combonation of things and decided to let them keep fighting. When the fight was stopped Thompson swung at the ref he was so out of it. Kimbo wasn't showing that sort of disorientation, but he did look tired. Honesly, anyone who said the fight shouldn't have stopped doesn't matter, because thompson would have been hitting the floor soon anyway.

I was watching the whole fight, and Kimbo did good on the ground WHEN HE COULD. I still think the fight should have went on, but i disagree fully with anyone saying the fight should have stopped due to the weakest ground and pound i've ever seen.

Point is, he wasn't intelligently defending himself and at like 25+ shots to the dome.

Anyways, that whole event was a debacle. Watch Faber vs Pulver tonight for a real mma broadcast.

Doesn't matter much when said shots are totally ineffective and he was showing the ref he was ok, all while blocking at least 9 of the shots his opponent was throwing before having his arm tucked back under.

I agree the event sucked though. I'm just saying Kimbo isn't anywhere near as bad as everyone thinks he is. Overrated as hell, sure, but not bad. Lacking stamina, definitely, but still somehow not too bad.

I just watched it. It was a bad break, but he was getting his shit rocked in the third. If he didn't get his mutant ear busted, Kimbo still would of fucked his shit. He got jabbed 3 times before the ear pop.

As long as he doesn't go down on the ground, Kimbo can put on a good toe-to-toe. He took 100 forearms to the head for 2 minutes.

Kimbo couldn't knock out "Glass Chin" Thompson.

What makes you think Kimbo stands a chance against legit fighters?

EliteXC's refs are shit.
Scott Smith was all over Rob and the refs called it to save their champ.

It doesn't matter how effective they are. See BJ Penn vs Hughes 2. Besides, Kimbo was slow to get up after a 260 lb dude dropped 30 something elbows on his face; and I was fucking laughing when that idiot ref said, 'They don't hurt'. Give me a break.

The other thing that stood out to me was the ref standing them up with Thompson in side control, continuing to improve his position. So much favorable treatment it makes me fucking sick to see someone like Kimbo fucking Slice getting pushed so hard and marketed.

This is even fucking funnier. Shaw is like, 'Thompson has been rushed to the hospital blah blah blah' and Thompson is in the audience drinking a can of soda or something. What a fucking clown show. lol

Brett Rogers called him out, could be hype for a potential fight.

But yeah I lost faith in Elite. WTF? Imagine rooting for Scott Smith and then having that bs stoppage.
