    Why does Thompson keep getting knocked out so quick? I don't understand. I thought James had a lot of talent, he almost beat the highly touted Kimbo Slice.

    He is trying to put together the greatest highlight reel of being knocked out in the history of MMA. I think that he should be commended for not only reaching his goal long ago... but also still following through til this day with his mission. He is really putting a stamp on it.

    I challenge anyone to find a worse chin in combat sports.

    :lol: It actually looks like his chin has gotten worse. I didn't think that was possible considering it china in the first place.

    At least he was entertaining in PRIDE though. The staredowns with Aleks Emelianenko and Don Frye were awesome.

    I'm not saying Thompson has a chin, but that was a near perfectly thrown left hook. Pele pushed off with his left leg, got his hip into it, kept it compact and landed it on the chin.

    Want to see a similar example from boxing?

    Im trying to think.. really i am... Thompson has lost almost all of his fights via TKO. He's utterly useless and would be better of retiring to preserve his health.

    How come his chin is so bad??

    Like hes a big bloke but has a chin of a toddler..

    I kind of want to fight him so people around my area who dont know anything about mma will think im the craziest bloke in the world knocking out a hulk like Thompson.lol..

    Definetly the type of guy you want to fight for a confidence booster.

    He almost beat the "highly touted" Kimbo Slice??? :lol::lol::lol:

    By whom was Slice ever "highly touted", pray tell?

    The fact is, he lost to Slice (who's utter trash in MMA).

    His only notable wins are over Severn and Frye - both in their forties at the time and no longer factors.
