Kimbo Slice? Phil Baroni? It's like knowing that your only chance to get lucky will result in an STD. MMA finally hits a major network and this is the card!? Kimbo Slice? Phil Baroni?

Both of these guys have questionable chins.. but.. Smokin' Joey has the better of the stand-up and the ground game.. and aside from that, Baroni has more of a tendency to gas... I'd say Villasenor could wrestle him out.. or Knock him out.. as long as he doesn't get too comfortable in taking shots from Baroni.. there's no reason why Smokin' Joey shouldn't be the victor.. i’m actually VERY suprised that 3 out of 4 picked Baroni to win..

I think I peed a little, lol! Kimbo--rd. 1 KO...Kimbo has shown us little besides KOs and Thompson has shown little recently besides getting KOd. Lawler-rd 2 KO...Similar striking, but Lawler defends himself and Smith tends to take shots. You can't take shots from Lawler. Gina-Dec...If this was in a parking lot, i would probably be yelling for someone's clothing to get torn off. I'm a degenerate. Joey--3rd sub...I just think Joey has more tools, but I'll be rooting for the NYBA. As a form of protest, I will be visiting Reality kings sites all weekend! “Tard charge”!!! lolololololololol!!!!!!!!!! I think I peed a little, lol!

Who cares if he has his ground game tested. Who cares is exactly it but to compare this fight to Griffen Bonnar, which they were two equal guys who were up and coming into the UFC. Thompson has a record of getting KTFO. What they are doing is lining these guys up making the fight FIXED. Thats the problem, look at Lawler and Scott, Scotts going to get beat more than likely but Scott stands a good chance at winning. Thompson is going to get KO'd in the first round, period there is almost no question in anyones mind. So not only are they bringing in a whole new group of fans here by having these fights, they are showing that the sport can be barbaric. Its an all standing deal and people get to see K0 after K0 and they say man this looks dangerous and barbaric. You get it? Its not good promoting I will not thank Shaw for doing this when the UFC could have taken the CBS deal and put on a great card for the fans without having it fixed. Well then Bas is an idiot.

I am particularly annoyed by what is normally level headed mma media taking a big steaming crap on this card. Hell, I love Gil , Jake and EXC's more technical fighters. But first time viewers need to be sold. Let's not pretend Forrest vs. Bonner was some technical display of great mixed martial arts style. Need I remind the very people bitching about this card that the most important fight in MMA history ( forrest v. bonner) was a technical nightmare. Both fighters showing little to no skill what so ever?? But it was a damn good fight, and very entertaining fight. It was a fight that helped to save a company that was losing money hand over fist. That's right, the UFC was losing tons of cash. TUF and forrest v bonner saved the whole company. It wasn't Chuck, it wasn't Randy, BJ, Matt Hughes, but two very green fighters and a tv show that saved the company. But as cynical as everyone is we want to rewrite history, we're to smart for a card that is less than the best technical fighters on earth. Elite has a few fighters that are already marketed, I'd be calling EXC the fool had they NOT marketed their biggest mainstream names and took full advantage of it to better the MMA landscape for ALL MMA FIGHTERS. So if things go well for EXC, and next feb I'm watching Jake Shields fight Aoki in and epic battle, or I'm watching BJ vs. GSP II live from Hawaii on FOX it'll be thanks to Gary Shaw, Kimbo, Thompson, and all the other fighters that are taking a world of crap for taking advantage of the opportunity provided to them. #3 you couldn’t be more correct.
