Sure he got soundly beaten on the feet, but there is no excuse for a stand-up from side-control when he was workign for a kimura. Just disgusting.

All i take from the 2 cards that i've seen is the b/s preferential treatment they give their "stars". The first being James Thompson's non stoppage of Kimbo.. Now this ref (who the hell is this guy?) pulling nelson out of side control. He was in half guard, the ref said "improve ur position" then nelson IMMEDIATELY takes side control, then one more quick warning from the ref to "improve ur position" before the stand up. seriously, what more could a grappler do? They gave him absolutely no chance-- total b/s wtf…. elitexc is what’s bush league here. All i take from the 2 cards that i’ve seen is the b/s preferential treatment they give their “stars”.

He is over rated at least and very much a one sided fighter. He is just a goon with no legitimate skills other than a sucker punch!! The guys has no ground game and will never be able to handle a true jui jitzu specialist! I have to say that it is so funny that Kimbo went down like a #@$!%.

Sun, 05 Oct 2008 15:32:43 +0000 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/?p=7560#comment-51971 Kimbo's gameplan was obviously to bum-rush Shamrock. Apparently he wasn't able to adapt that to a more versatile striker. That said, I think he knocked himself out as much as anything. He was loading up for a big shot and powered his head right into Seth's jab. He must've thought Seth wouldn't follow a kick with a left jab, but eitherway his biggest mistake was keeping his chin up as he moved forward. Does it mean Kimbo has a glass jaw? Not necessarily (remember he took Tank's hardest shot and shrugged it off). Anyone can get knocked out if they get hit in the right spot at the right time. And he got it right on the button while he was shooting forward. What can you say? Kimbo’s gameplan was obviously to bum-rush Shamrock.

I'm sure this is all Ken was doing, and his face is so beat up he probably gets cut when he lays on a pillow too hard. Anyway, I don't understand why its so shocking that he got cut accidentally. Pick up a DVD that has pre-fight preparation footage. Its not absurd that they could accidentally bump heads. Its stupid, yes to let somebody bump you in the head before a fight, but not surprising or shocking. ----- Why Kimbo's trainers haven't kicked him of the bad habbit of bull-rushing an opponent is the biggest surprise of the night. Especially against an unknown opponent. ----- But it was an entertaining event overall. 5 Oz. of Pain:

What I think finished Slice was the punches after he went down......Seth hit a shot off the back of the head and then a solid shot to the ear. I think the shot to the ear sealed it, and was what turned a flash knockdown into Slice thnking the ref was his opponent.
