Kimbo is highly overrated, James Thompson gave him a hard time. Real fight fans know that Kimbo is light years away from being competitive on the big league level. I do like the fact that these organization are around to push the Ufc to continue to make great fights and good promotions.

Rogers deserves a crack at Kimbo more than any one else in the Proelite umbrella. EliteXC just wants to keep feeding Kimbo cans. It's one thing that EliteXC declined Aleksander Emelianenko's request to batter Kimbo but it's another to decline Rogers. Rogers is an up and comer himself and has pretty much the same style as Kimbo. What the hell are they afraid of? Why are they putting all of their eggs in Kimbo's basket for anyway? Bullshit.

I think the dude has some serious power in his hands and I wouldn't personally want to brawl with him. But he had a hard time with a guy that was on a major losing streak. Thompson had nothing to give a decent fighter he still gave Slice all he could handle. As for CBS/Elite XC, yes I hate on it. Bad stoppages, questionable stand-ups and dancing girls from the Brass Rail that they poured into outfits. How can I not hate on them? When you look at a first off promotion like Affliction, albeit they have their own production problems, I would rather pay to see an Affliction show than watch a CBS/Elite XC show for free. How sad is that? You have how many different fight organizations (Elite XC, Show XC, Showtime...) and the best you can give me is: 1) A MW fight between two UFC rejects. 2) A Female face of MMA who doesn't take things seriously enough to make weight. 3) An internet street fighter vs Tomato Can. 4) Frank Shamrock reading off a teleprompter. Pardon me if I haven't cleared my calendar for the next show. For a first show I was severely let down, now that Gina "Contradiction" Carano isn't even fighting, what teetays do I get to perv over? :P They should just have a bidding war for all their assets and let UFC/Affliction/Dream duke it out.

In 5 seconds I could have Kimbo Vs. Bo Cantell II "according to Wikipedia". Last interview I read said that it was 90% sure that Kimbo's opponent wasnt going to Brett Rogers. #8

They'll ride this pony as long as they can until they get him an actual MMA fighter to go up against. As for everyone that hates on EXC, there are a number of really talented younger guys that haven't been getting widespread exposure yet. These are MMA guys too, not just some over the hill boxers or wrestlers. There's a nice chance that there could be a few diamonds that emerge from EXC that may never had the chance to have a door opened for them in the UFC.

He was terrible against Thompson but he admitted it and said he'd get back to the drawing board. I have no problem with the guy and think he has a good deal to offer the sport I just don't think he can make it far if his ground game doesn't make some serious improvement. He doesn't have the skill or balance to be defending good takedowns so he'll have to learn how to fend his own on the ground.
