i agree he was the reason i was really interested in watching the ultimate fighter this season. It suck that he lost already but like dana white said you never know. Something weird always happens in this show. Who knows someone might quit or get hurt and he can get another shot.
Then you are an idiot. Kimbo standing landed 1 good shot and got taken down twice. Nelson's ground game was low risk, smothering, and won the fight with ease. Hmm, what looks better? Winning or losing?
Dana seemed pissed that Kimbo lost. The same Kimbo he called a circus act and would never deal with him.
nelson made kimbo look like floyd mayweather and kimbo made nelson look like royce gracie seriously though what was up with kimbos stand up it looked way worse than usual, he managed to catch nelson and still put him on ***** street, he looked real stiff and off balance perhaps too cautious of the take down but he looked **** and when he was on the ground
Dissapointing fight , I also thought the stoppage was early, as Kimbo was not being truly hurt. I also thought Dana was kind of rude towards Nelson , Nelson was not showboating afterwards, he was just happy to win , he acted natural in my opinion. It looks like Kimbo will be back to fill in for an injured fighter, but shouldnt he have to earn that in a bout with another eliminated fighter ? :huh
Questionable? Dude got put in the same move twice and couldnt do **** about it. He is helpless on the ground. Dana is pissed he couldnt "milk" Kimbo's name for another weekly UFC PPV.
Its not a questionable stoppage. What was Kimbo going to do ? He was stuck in the same postion in the first round and only got saved by the bell. Kimbo was stuck in side control with one of his arms trapped while he was being pounded. Kimbo was not moving his hips or anything.
Questionable stoppage? atsch WTF are you guys talking about? Go watch some MMA. If the fighter isn't defending himself intelligently, then the fight has to be stopped. You're in a crucifix > you can't defend yourself > fight is stopped.
I'm almost certain it's more of a personal thing between Dana and Roy than anything else. The two don't get along well and, I think, have talked badly through the press before.
With that being said why didnt they stop the fight when Abe was defenseless and was bleeding his ass off?
I think it was a bull**** stoppage because Roy was just tapping him on top of his forehead. It was like a big brother giving nookies to his little brother. All Roy was doing was holding him down where he knew Kimbo couldn't escape. I was reeeealllly disappointed with Nelson's performance. He had no excuse not to armlock Kimbo - unless he was worried about him being too strong - but he still should have attempted something.
White was pissed that it was such a lame victory. Like he said in the post-fight interview - Roy wasn't landing world crushing blows.
