I am not going to buy the $18 seats, as the nosebleed seats in the Prudential Center are in the exosphere, and I'd be better off trying to watch it on my couch. Per PruCenter.com website:

It drives me insane. I just kind of groan and say "here we go again" as he rushes to his own demise. “Anybody who has watched MMA for more than a year knows that Thompson comes out throwing and has a glass jaw.”

He's tailor made for Kimbo's highlight reel. Some day Elite will put him in the cage with a fighter who has a legit grappling game and we'll see how Kimbo does. Maybe he wins, but I have my doubts. Meanwhile, I'll watch as long as it's free. Won't pay hard-earned money until he's proven himself against more formidible fighters.

I'm not a kimbo hater I hope the guy adds some competition to the HW world. It's just REALLY bothers me when there are so many guys that DESERVE the promotion, that have had really tough roads to get the cred, and don't get the breaks . I don't fault kimbo for being the right package at the right time, or for taking full advantage of the program that's being laid out for him, but I ain't gonna help sell the illusion for (as OddTom said so well in the other kimbo thread) a slimeball in a tracksuit. HexRei Thompson is a step up no doubt, but it'll be a one dimensional MMA bout..... As was Cung Le's.....but it'll be nowhere near as interesting. Pretty accurate in my book, not dramatic at all.

First let me say that I don't mind Kimbo, in fact I wish him all the best after he loses and we kill the BS hype. He may be a good fighter in the future but this fight will prove nothing. So please, please, please...please let the fix go wrong and have Kimbo Ko'd in under 10 sec's it would be the best thing for MMA and Kimbo. Otherwise we will have more and more of this artificial bolstering of pay per veiw winning fighters. Does anyone else see that they can't afford Kimbo to lose, so he wont, and I think they would want to make it as sure as possible, so I realy wouldn't be surprised if Thomson was offered a very good pay day (if you know what I mean). I would be extremly suprised if Kimbo loses this fight...extremly surprised. This will kill MMA cred...it already is, just like Don King and his mates did in boxing. WARNING

I've been checking www.PruCenter.com each day, and they actually have the fight announced and show Kimbo on their home page, but nothing is listed obviously still when you click the "Buy Tickets" link.

The problem is that EliteXC has hyped him so much they probably need to give him a big test sooner than later. I think he is about 4 fights away from needing a big test, so this is probably best.
