    They don't have much of a chance banking on Slice to carry their company.....the writing is on the wall.

    What made this sad....Thompson lost his last 2 fights by big time KO. Still got a mainevent fight vs Kimbo. Then old Kimbo was in a life and death fight with Thompson who is not known as aground fighter at all. With in the end a total BS Stoppage

    Poor Thompson...the guy sucks but he's got a big heart...and he gave it his best. Sucks for him that the ref had to **** him over in order to save the org's cash cow.

    Kimbo needs to work on his cardio + his ground game. A lot lot more.

    Hell , kimbo vs gannon II seems like a bad idea now. Too risky.

    Absolutely horrendous. What Gary Shaw was thinking, I will never know. For the morons he was fooling into thinking Kimbo was a good heavyweight...now you know. He can't even fool the idiots anymore.

    The only time I want to see Kimbo again is when he's lying on his back, with his eyes rolled back in his head.

    In terms of popularity maybe...but the quality is very questionable.

    If Kimbo is the best thing for MMA, then it's going to go the way of The Womens Soccer league. Smart fans know that he is just there becuase of fight on You Tub. He has power and is a strong man. He will not have a big career in MMA. This fight tonight I feel hurt MMA to fans that realy don't know the sport. That is because the "NEW FACE" of MMA got lucky bigtme vs a stiff.

    doesn't matter to me bc i am not really an mma fan. i prefer boxing by far....having said that if you want a sport to thrive you need to tap into mainstream sports fans. Kimbo is giving you that right now.

    The biggest thing helping them it was free television. Kimbo-Thompson should've been the warm up bout though and Lawlor should've been the main event.

    No, he WAS doing that, past tense.

    After people saw what they saw last night, not even the most clueless ******* cares.
