I'm so sick of hearing about Kimbo I want James to destroy him.
But I am sure he will do the same thing he always does...stomp, pump his arms and run straight forward with his chin in perfect position to be struck.

who replaced him?
Im pumped. CBS better not screw this up but i think they will do a good job. i hope kimbo gets taken down early and gets smashed.
Danny Castillo
Josh will f-ck it up...
I think this CAN work on CBS but it needs time and I am not sure there is enough of it.
Man...I gues Im the only one that wants Kimbo to win haha.
Kaitlin Young will beat Gina...
Thompson will beat Kimbo...
EliteXC will be ruined...
EliteXC would be ruined if that happened.
whoa whoa whoa...serious?
I 100% agree that would ruin them...just haven't heard you say that.
Just watched the WEC preview...Urijah is going to kill Jens...damn...
If kimbo loses on national tv badly it will be a major shot in the balls to eiliteXC. i figure Nick Diaz will be gone soon. Villasenor is good but he cant be the face of the organization. Baroni and Lawler are punks and hopefull they both bet smashed. Cung Le is about their only hope or maybe a o Ortiz-Frank Shamrock II would be marketable. I could see that happening but i think o will sign with hdnet or a jap league before eliteXC.
I dont know anything about young but im hoping gina loses so eliteXC will die and the UFC can have Cung and co. Its near impossible to compete with the UFC/WEC unless your a jap league and you cater to 155 japanese guys.
yeah i thought it was pretty well done. go jens!
Zuffa hired a marketing firm last year to spruce things up and I think its paying off big time. That was by far the best pre-fight special Zuffa has ever done be it the UFC or WEC. The camera on the tire while Urijah was hammering it was a very cool visual. They did a great job of showing Urijah as the clean cut California guy and Jens as this old school throwback who jogs on broken down train tracks.
And the job they did with Miguel Torres was incredible. I didn't know very much about him and I am now a huge fan of his. When you can take a skinny guy with a mullet and horrible mustache and make him look cool you're getting the job done. lol
I wouldn't be shocked...people are completely over-looking Young and Thompson...
Whenever I see him bull rush the other corner I don't think he is taking fighting seriously.
As far as Young…Gina has amazing talent but who knows.
Everyone please pay attention to Brett Rogers. He is a beast.
If Thompson rushes and throws bombs he'll get KO'd again...I'm ASSuming he'll work for a takedown ASAP.
I don't think Gina has been training too hard...and will she make weight?
The problem with Kimbo losing is EliteXC went from an awesome up and coming MMA org that was in HD (the first) on showtime to "Kimbo." Everything is ridin on this.
They should have stacked this card…in fact…I don't know why they didn't push Le and Shamrock to this one. Only 2 month delay. Headline that…put Kimbo v Josh at 2..Frank and Le are awesome on camera. Excellent marketing.
