I think any sport needs fluffy stuff like this to make it a little spicy. I loved when they would bring in these wacky fights in Pride FC, just to see what would happen. the 400lb african guy, the 7 ft guys, the olympic JJ guys, etc." I agree--people are hating on the entertainment factor that brings in new viewers. Lets not be so damn critical, i like to see a spectacle every now and then--loosen your belt and enjoy the entertainment! “thanks for the pics, very good.

The was by FAR the best all around show I have seen in a while. All the fights were good except for Bigfoot and Ricco was a little slow at times. WEC and EliteXC are putting it to the UFC as far as exciting fights. Just my opinion.... UFC is not doing it for me at the moment. They did Randy wrong!

It makes sense for a striker and it is the prerogative of the fighter who is still standing whether he wants to go to the ground. A decent grappler could have forced Kimbo to the ground but Kimbo is working his way up to tougher opponents as he should. Let him fight a few more guys and he'll eventually encounter an opponent who can take the fight to the ground, or even better, someone who stands back up just to KO him. Matt C wrote:

In his defense, I'm sure that's how they rehearsed it. “Instead, he waited for the wobbly punching bag to get up and stagger around in front of him so he could KO a sitting duck, a skill akin to T-ball.”

It DEFINITELY fills seats and draws in new viewers. Last night we had the Chat going during this event. There were over 150 people in the chatroom and the crowd was COMPLETELY different from the typical UFC crowd we get. The fans in the chat knew close to nothing about MMA, had really no idea what EliteXC is, and some didnt even know that Showtime was a cable channel. The typical chatters we get during UFC events know their shit and can carry intelligent debate about MMA. The fans we got yesterday for Kimbo/Tank turned our chat into a sherdog forum. Kimbo is a true internet phenomenon - good bad or otherwise. “It’s really sad if this what it takes to fill the seats and draw in new viewers.”
