    Wow. Seriously?? They were in a one on one fistfight versus eachother. What did you expect Kimbo to do?? "Excuse me man, but your face is exposed enough for me to rock you in the side of the head.. you might want to square back up." haha.

    Kimbo will get respected once he fights people who are of higher calibur. Maybe a possible ken shamrock bout?

    At least Brock Lesnar fought a former UFC champ. He lost off a rookie mistake, but he does not get the hate as much as Kimbo does. Maybe it's because Brock was at least an All-American wrestler in college while Kimbo bodyguarded the dudes from MILF Hunter, who knows....

    At least MMA is on prime networks now. It's about time.

    Shamrock at age 45 would tear Kimbo a new one. Brock Lesnar would woop on Kimbo too. The only people Kimbo can beat are slow, clumsy, inexperienced nobody's.

    Very true. Lesnar would absolutely rape Kimbo.

    The people who don't watch MMA will watch it because of Kimbo. He's instant name recognition and is already bigger than anybody else in the sport, at least to those who don't follow it. The people who follow MMA hate him because his sudden status in the sport is not yet deserved and perhaps never will be. It's pretty much that simple.

    Ken Shamrock is washed up. You're about 5 years behind the times. Shamrock got knocked out by an elderly Sakuraba a few years ago. Kimbo will have to beat someone moderately good like Arlovski to be taken seriously. Right now, Kimbo's a clown beating up on other clowns.

    Is anyone else watching this crap? This looks more like a WWE event than an MMA event. As Dave Chappelle once said, "This is the most unprofessional ****..."

    What a terrible way to introduce MMA to the populace.

    i agree...i mean i hate rogan..think hes annoying, but at least he talks about players strengths/weaknesses before a fight than busta rhymes coming out and singing...i'm not even watching until later to see kimbo get lit up.

    That first fight was a joke. Looked like 2 drunks in a bar brawl. If two of their "top heavyweights" are Kimbo and Antonio Silva then this primetime MMA thing is a one and done event. with EliteXC at any rate.

    Kimbo Slice = Mr T 2008 + a dash of Mike Tyson

    I don't watch the sport and don't know anyone in it
    but
    I know who Kimbo Slice is

    If he is bounced into Obscurity one the 1st national fight
    It won't be good for MMA
    won't be bad . .but would not be as good . . .

    Kimbo = publicity . . .the MMA 'purist' just have to deal with it

    Chuck Liddel didn't have as much as champion as Kimbo has now

    Nickel?? NickeL??? are you serious? REALLY?

    40 minutes into the show, and so far exactly 1 minute, 1 second of fight time... I'm getting bored.
