why isnt anyone doing an article on that douche bag vice president jared shaw……he was clearly yelling at the ref and trying to dictate the fight…. wich he did at the last slice fight!!! if elite xc wants to continue they need to drop this guy

I think if they are actually interested in building stars, they’d put Kimbo in with Brett Rogers to let Rogers take some glory. But I still think EliteXC is on a very short time table, so this means desperate short term maneuvering, which would point to resetting the Kimbo vs Shamrock fight.

I almost feel bad for Kimbo…almost. He had nothing to gain and a lot to lose. I’m sure EXCBS lined his pockets with “bread” last night.

I was impressed by his handling of the situation after the fight. He easily could have made excuses, run down Seth and tried to set up a rematch. instead, he did nothing but give props and ask the crowd to support Seth and the other fighters. If only he had touched gloves before the fight. Please, Bas, get him on board with this.

As I’ve said before, this loss isn’t the end of the road for the Kimbo train or EXCBS. However, a second loss in a row, very well may be the end. The damaged eye and post fight ref take down, showed that he was at least stunned badly. If he comes back and demolishes his next opponent, it will all but erase this fight.

As for the suggestions:

1) Rogers—If they put this fight next, we should all take it as a huge sign, that they are all but done with Kimbo. I would be VERY surprised if this happens anytime soon. Rogers is a HW title contender. Kimbo is not. Kimbo is a viewer draw and potential good fighter.

2) Seth Petruzelli—Why? Dude is a LHW and while I think Kimbo would likely beat him down with proper prep time, the chance for a second straight loss to Seth is to much of a risk to take. As for Seth, he isn’t freakin’ Rocky! Rocky was a club fighter and street tough who made it to the big time only to lose, then rebound and so on. Doesn’t that sound more like Kimbo? Seth will certainly get rewarded with a couple of higher profile fights and will profit monetarily, but this didn’t catapult him to superstar status by any stretch of the imagination. good for him and I hope he capitalizes on last night.

3) Shamrock—They already sold it, both guys should be able to get back in there fairly quickly and Ken is exactly the type of guy that they need for Kimbo to beat up and regain his lost luster. Forget bringing back a Thompson or Cantrell, because at this time, that is exactly who Ken is. Make this fight happen and do it asap.

While I’m ranting, I’m no big fan of Kimbo, but what is with all the hate on him from people? I can understand if you don’t care for him, but the passionate hatred is ridiculous.

Gina is the true superstar in EXC and if they don’t do a ppv, Gina/Cyborg at 145/8 should be the main event in the next EXCBS show.

The November EXC looks awesome and overall, last nights show was very entertaining. I would have loved an undercard show on Showtime or FSN.

As a fan if the mma first, i hope EXC makes it, but they need to get to work promoting their real star fighters, like Alvarez and Feijao. last night was a pretty good mix, but could you imagine the audience reaction, if they watched a fight like Alvarez/Hansen?? Instant mainstream superstar. young, exciting, good looking kid who is a good fighter. I think Alvarez whips Diaz, then let’s see Alvarez/Noons, which could be a slugfest.

Please get rid of Little Enos Shaw. i would take his dad over him ANY day, and that is saying something.

Frank’s comments on Ken…pure gold! I was just laughing may ass off when he spouted off about the Shamrock legacy.

Overall, i like the announcing team. johnson is money and lends the professionalism that mma NEEDS.

Did anyone else hear ‘Taps’ playing when Kimbo went down?
Or was that ‘Celebrate Good Times’ pumping from Dana’s limo?

Kimbo lost to a under card fighter that was 2-2 in his last four fights and was eliminated in the TUF 2 semi finals by Brad Imes. Seth was a whopping 205 1/2 pounds which is a LHW and managed to knock kimbo flat with a jab. I don’t see any way in hell they can try to turn this into a positive. It was a last minute call to have this fight and no kimbo didn’t know anything about Seth. But with that said i don’t think having zero Knowledge about your opponent comes into play within 14 seconds of the first round. walking in and getting caught with a jab and falling on your face is bad no matter how you look at it. The Kimbo Bandwagon is derailed and missing a few wheels. Unless he can pull a Dominating performance against a top tier fighter in his next bout i don’t see how he can ever recover from what took play Saturday night

I’m not sure about his contract with EXC, but I think the UFC should scoop Seth Petruzelli back up, and then put him as the main event in a Fight Night on Spike, as a big screw you to EXC. It’d be great, especially if Seth loses.

Seth Petruzelli vs Heath Herring be a good comeback fight for Heath and he would beat the hell out of him and make Elite XC and Kimbo look bad plus it hypes up there star brock more since he beat herring
