if kimbo trys to be an MMA fighter he has zero chance, if he just swings wildly at trys for an early knockout he may get it
I think houston will murder kimbo once a grapple happens.

Houston was embarassing...show up to fight or go home. Nice to see Kimbo get a win...the guy actually has shown alot of heart.
P
That was a big surprise. I wasn't expeciting that fight to go that way at all. Good for Kimbo.

Kimbo is kind, humble, eager and willing to give it everything and then some so i say good for him.
If he keeps up with his training and cardio he's gunna go a LONG way in the UFC as he just showed that tonight.
I would NOT want Kimbo Slice looking at me like a target:shock
Any man who says otherwise is a ****ing lier IMHO.

he needs to shave that nasty ass beard,looks like captain hook
Yeah well.. two different weight classes wasn't it?
Regardless, It was nice to see Kimbo get a victory. Personally, I'm not sure if his knee will take him very far in the ufc. Every opponent he has from now on going to target it.

He needs to go LHW instead of HW. He looked pretty good at the catchweight.

his knee wont be problem, he doesnt fight weekly like on TUF he will fight like every few months and joints are a target for everybody
boring...but that was cuz houston was scared....i think i would be also....

Kimbo's going nowhere.
Dana White put him in with the only guy in the UFC with a worse ground game, because he knows theres market ability in Kimbo. Its kind of like how Tyson still sold the most PPV buys when he was 15 years past prime.
Bas Rutten gave up on Kimbo, said he was uncoachable. I find it hard to believe that Kimbo went from a no ground game guy ( when he fought Roy ) to a real fighter in a few months.
Its just smart matchmaking by Dana.

I think your way off on this one bro.
If Kimbo was'nt serious about being a great MMA fighter he would not have cut weight like he did for yesterdays fight and no way he would have put so much heart into it.
I get a very good vibe from Kimbo and like i said if he keeps training the way he is currently and gets his cardio up to par he gunna knock the shit out of a LOT of guys in his weight class.
Alexander is an animal himself and look how ****ing scared he was of Kimbo the entire fight and Kimbo's cardio was better then Alexanders almost the whole fight so that just shows he was running on pure heart at the end of the fight.
I think Kimbo will be around for a while in the UFC because that is what HE wants and knowing this Dana knows he can make a killing off of him so it's a mixed blessing.

Houston is a really good fighter I thought he would destro Kimbo. Kimbo did well. Big country must have been underestimated by everyone as he won the whole thing. So in a way Kimbo may have beaten alot of the other fighters had he had a different match up.
It is obvious that Kimbo did a lot of training after the show so he wouldn't have been much better with anyone else unless they stood up with him. He has shown a lot of potential in that fight but he still has ways to go. He did get Houston down but then he didn't know what to do. It was funny when at one point when he was in the mount position he had his fist up for like 3 seconds and wanted to hit but didn't know how so he never did. I see him doing well and I am pretty sure he will cut to 205. At 205 he is a monster.

We'll see I guess.
James Thompson beat his ass, Petruzelli knocked him out and Roy exposed him for still having no ground game whatsoever. You guys really think he developed a ground game in 6 months? Roy should have stopped him in the first round, and then did the exact same thing in round 2 ( crucifix ).
I find it really odd that Houston ran from Kimbo when he stood and traded with guys like Keith Jardine too...... But I won't get into that lol. Petruzelli stood and traded but Houston ( who has never taken a backwards step ) ran the whole fight?
I'm sure Shane McMahon will bring some interesting story line ideas in.
I'd put my money on Waderow.

I disagree.. He went toe to toe quite a few times. I think it was a respectful caution, not fear.

Thought kimbo Ko-ed James thompson? Remember thompson had that huge gross abcess ear, and kimbo kept hitting it with haymakers until it popped?
yup...

i don't mean to play mr. conspiracy here, but there is no ****ing way that alexander's plan was to strictly run around and kick kimbo's knee. houston wasn't getting another fight regardless so I wouldn't be overly surprised if that fight wasn't a work...the weight difference makes a huge difference, but houston alexander isn't exactly a "plan" guy as joe rogan eluded to. seth petruzelli knocked kimbo out with a jab while backing up, houston could have beat the **** out of him, IMO.
...but who knows...just throwing out my theory and how surprised I was at the outcome.
BTW, anyone could mount Alexander...****, Gina Carano could (she could mount me as well ;))

mirgliotta had benjamins riding on that stoppage FOR SURE...they were both standing and thompson had already made an example of kimbo by his GnP (no matter how lackluster). if that fight goes the distance, kimbo loses a decision...unless cecil peoples was involved! :D That was the last thing EliteXC wanted.

James Thompson should have won by stoppage in that fight, Chunk said it Elite XC didn't want their #1 guy losing. When that fight was stopped, it was way premature... Thompson didn't even go down. The fights up on youtube.....
I'm with Chunk on this one, there is funny shit that goes on in the fight game and there is REALLY funny shit that happens in the UFC. When has Houston Alexander ever taken a backwards step against anyone? I would think that after seeing Petruzelli knock him out ( Kimbo ) with a backwards jab, and realizing Kimbo still has no ground game, he'd do his thing.
It's also really funny how every other fighter that lost in the prelims fought another guy from the house, but Kimbo gets a UFC veteran at a catchweight. Has that ever happened before?
The whole thing is going WWE.
Japan was waaaaaay worse for giving favoured fighters unfair advantages. Sakuraba comes to mind on several ocasions.
Alexander was just too small for Kimbo.Huge difference in the upper body.Since when was trading with Kimbo a good game plan?

Since when did Houston Alexander become a game plan fighter? His only plan I ever saw previously was charge strait ahead throwing, and get the KO or get Koed.
Trading worked pretty good for Petruzelli.
Lucky.Where is Petruzelli now?

Probably not holding his breath waiting for the UFC to call offering a rematch with kimbo.
Who has Kimbo beat that was actually any good?

dude, petruzelli actually has some pretty good kickboxing...it's just "in" to cut him up because he didn't win TUF and he "miraculously" beat up a guy known for beating up guys not even close to as tough as he is.
you're example that houston was smaller therefore kimbo should have won by sheer upper body strength strength is flawed when you consider that a far less aggressive 205'er KO'd Kimbo with the mma equivalent of a fallaway shot. petruzelli is good, but he's no anderson silva... the weight difference does give kimbo a significant advantage, but houston COULD have KTFO'd kimbo and for some odd reason decided to use a completely foreign "game plan" approach. I smell a work even though the Nebraskan assassin got cut shortly after it...

dude anyone who can't learn a ground game from bas rutten isn't even worth wasting precious finger movement on...which is why i'm confused that either of us are bothering to talk about kimbo. he's a joke...he could kick the shit out of me, but I don't care...and I don't buy the "humble" bullshit they fed me during TUF. He is after all, the same guy who was wishing injury upon his peers...and as mentioned, he's the same guy who wouldn't train hard enough to keep a legend who stuck his neck out for him as a trainer. kimbo is good for ratings but bad for the sport...which must be why dana is keeping him around, they can relate to each other! haha

I still think something was up with Silva/Griffin.
Dana loves to build up his fighters, just like the WWE. He knows thats what sells PPV buys and keeps him filthy rich- Superstar godlike poster boys.
He's just like the Vince McMahon of MMA, he decides whos fighting who, where, when, what they get paid, and nobody has any recourse.
IMHO..... Its not a really big leap from what he's doing to what the WWE does. Its almost the very same marketing strategy Vince uses, and now Shane McMahon just bought a big stake.
Kimbo looks really good on a poster, I'm thinking Dana either puts him in easy or we see more sketchy fights.

It was a mismatch really.Despite them being only a few pounds apart...Kimbo is a much bigger man.

I've said it before that Kimbo just doesn't get it on the ground,he looked better against a smaller man but I really doubt he will ever amount to much in the cage.Bare knuckle fight...:)

Of course Alexander was hand picked for Kimbo.This is my problem with where Fedor has gone....
