Let this be a lesson to all who love this sport that you can't make a champion by fooling people with hand picked opponents.
The rest of the card was good free entertainment.

Shaw should catch a beat down for putting all the hype and pressure on Kimbo.

Kimbo's "career" would have been over for sure.

Magic M... I agree completely with your assesment of Wetzel. I'd like to see him get in the ring once.

As for Kimbo, I just read that he made 500K for 14 seconds of work. Sounds like a "take the money and run" senerio if you ask me. Maybe he knew EliteXC wouldn't be around long and he wanted as much money as he could get. If not, whatever Elite will be no more sooner rather than later.

Thank you for the respect that you show for the business and being reasonable to man who we all know was only put into this position to carry a failing company. Thank you for knowing that any given day a fighter can lose and not calling the man everything but a child of god.
What kills me is that people make a big deal out of Kimbo but in fact it wasn't his idea to hype himself the way Shaw and EliteXC did. But i can't say i wouldn't have taken the shot that he was given...Hell, any of us would have. The same way we would have jumped in the ring with Mike Tyson for a 7 figure payout knowing that we'd probably get our skulls crushed. Thing about Kimbo was - nobody expected him to beat Bo Cantrell but when he did EliteXC said okay, we can make some money off this guy. Crowd response was crazy. Why dod you think his fights have been in FLORIDA!!!!
To all of you who have nothing but bad things to say about Kimbo 'the man'...i feel sorry for you. Is there anyone that you do like or do you sit around and hate everybody who has a little more money than you do? Do you hate everybody that gets a chance you think you deserve? Stop spending so much energy hating this dude. Hope for the best for him, maybe someone will do the same for you.
I'm not a big Kimbo fan. But i don't think he's half as bad for the sport as the Skamrocks, Tito Ortiz, or Dana White's attitude towards good fighters that he's got a personal beef with! EliteXC ain't the greatest promotion in the world but i wish them the best anyway. I'd love to see KJ noons fight Nick Diaz again, Carano vs Cyborg, and hopefully if they can last long enough Fedor vs Randy(love the guy for not bashing Kimbo like everyone else that has).
Just my opinion, and i don' hate anyone else for theirs but some of you really should lighten up and see who the real bad guy is(Shaw)!!!

seriously, can kimbo show his face around the hood without people whooping it up at his expense (from a distance i presume)? getting teabagged in your hometown in 14 seconds was bad enough but now the pix. seriously, i could care less that sith likes some action on the down low (once, twice is fun, a few dozens times is called a pattern and a desperate cry to his 'wife') but these pix make slice look worse.
