    The whole time he was trying to get Kimbo to win.

    yes, he made that obvious with the prematur standup and then the stoppage was just as bad...Kimbo could have been stopped at the end of the second.....if that was Thompson on the ground it would have been stopped.......Gary Shaw was protecting his investment...plain and simple.

    favoritism for their cash cow obviously...Thompson was supposed to get KOed in the first.

    Exactly. It was disgusting. He even wanted to stand it up at the end of the second, when he should have been thinking about stopping it instead.

    "You guys need to do something!"

    Um, Thompson was doing something. He was elbowing Kimbo repeatedly in the head.

    Man, I actually appreciate Dana White tonight. Normally I can't stand the guy, but Gary Shaw runs a shady, shady business.

    Dana White put his investment in with Frank Mir. Gary Shaw paid a ref to help his win against James "DVDs" Thompson.

    Man, this has me a little too fired up :rofl

    Ref sucked big time. He tried to do everything possible to have Kimbo win. I guess it's understandable because the future of EliteXC rides on Kimbos frail shoulders.
