  1. It is a set back people who never watched MMA and saw that c**p and they think that is MMA got short changed what CBS put on was a circus of fools and Tomato Cans


  2. hurt?  not even remotely.  there is no possibility that any current fans of the sport left and they are what's driving MMA's rise.   There were several very entertaining fights, even if the talent level was not world class.  There will surely be some fans interested in learning more.  The more these new fans look, the more they will hear that the guys they watched were "c" level performers.   I think these new fans will be interested in watching the "a" level performers to see what the hype is about.

    That being said, it was a miserably produced telecast.  I am cheering for Kimbo, but it will be a long LONG time before he is remotely world caliber.   If ever.

  3. Kimbo Slice might as well be a jobber in pro wrestling.

  4. No i think it brings attention to the sport which is a good thing, it puts it on a bigger stage and if you cant see it is a joke of an org than you shouldnt be a fan of the sport to begin with.  So it promotes the sport and weeds out the jokers

  5. Dude sucks!!Put him in with a real MMA fighter and he will be cryin' like  *********!!

  6. No.  This was the first MMA event that I ever watched and I am looking forward to watching more fights.  Newbies like me now have a stronger interest and want to learn more about it.

    The loyal MMA fans may have been offended by it, but it won't turn them away from the sport.

    The bottom line is that it didn't hurt anything, it only helps the fan base grow.

  7. It didn't set back MMA, because nobody gives a **** about EliteXC

  8. nope, kimbo slice is just another big, strong brawler brought in to for the wow effect, there have been many like him before example Bob Sapp, Hong Man Choi, Akibono, Zullo, this will not hurt mma, it just annoy us with hype about how good those guys are
