Because a guy yielded to him in a fight & he just kept on & fk'd up the guys jaw. A fighter with no honor is a thug. And yeah, most street fighters are thugs from what I've seen. They let the crowd control them & can't control themselves. If you are fighting to defend yourself that's one thing, but if you are fighting for sport, you should have sportsmanship while doing it. But then again, I think people having honor is starting to become a thing of the past.

volcanic2345, yeah, I don't have Direct TV, I have Comcast, so I wouldn't have been able to help you there.
| Powered by Satan |, I meant to say interesting. I was a little overly excited when I posted this. I just remember back in the day when I seen Kimbo on the net and tore up some dude's eye socket. I'm into boxing, MMA, UFC, etc., but it's nice to see something different. It's not that big of a deal, it'll just give me something else to do Saturday.

I agree man. No worries.
Plus, Kimbo is a really cool person from what i have read and heard(people that train with him and work @ Triumph Clothing w/ him.).
At any rate he has phenomenal strength, a will to learn and get better and a hard working attitude. give this man some real ring time, he will be a champ in no time.

Your right about that, but he is now fighting in the cage and training with PRO's so therefore fighting in the street is in the past. He looks composed and listens in the cage, so I dont see any problem. The guy can fight, he fought pro fights in boxing, so he is legit. Now putting a street fighter against someone that has been practicing JiJitsu all their lives and have more cage experience is not right! You have to build your fighter there is a business side to it. Look at Brock Lesner, they pitted him with Frank cause of his fame and they know that his followers wont give up on him. That being said you cant pit every fighter against a MIR or all the ranked fighters in the Heavyweight class, no experience (its a business). He needs the experience first, now if all the ranked heavyweights agree to a street brawl after their cage fight, ya its fair now. Get one in the cage which has been the top ranked fighters element for years and get one on the street where he has done his damage for years. Lets not be one sided on every issue now. I could care less of who wins but I understand how it works.
Elite XC is not a bad promotion either. They take very, very good care of their fighters. Let them build their fighter talent pool before you trash the organization.
How about some props for Houston’s own Yves Edwards picking up his third straight win!
