An alien life form. Christmas ornament. London broil.
Whatever you want to call it, the pulsating, throbbing cauliflower ear that James Thompson sported in the cage last night during his fight with Kimbo Slice at Elite XC: "Primetime" was down right hideous.
How on Earth does a professional walk into a cage with that? Perhaps more important, how on Earth does his camp let it get that bad right before such a big fight?
It wasn't that bad at the weigh-in just the day before.
Best name for "The Colossus'" new pet wins a FREE t-shirt.

yuck
How can his team ignore this prior to the fight? I saw one guy in my team having his ear drained because of this 10 minutes before a fight, so its not such an eye-catcher for the opponent.
You can’t avoid being hit there, but if its not the same size of your head, chances are that the opponent at least won’t target it to justify a medical stoppage.
Its almost as if they left it untouched as some kind of “emergency exit” button for Kimbo if he gets into trouble.

I don’t hate Kimbo john, as a matter of fact, I enjoyed his youtube fights. That said, I can’t believe that one of the posters I respect is defending this event. What did you like about it?
-3 early stoppages?
-Kimbo with no answe for over a minute?
-The tv camara panning out for 5 seconds while Kimbo may or ma not have been tapping?
-30 minutes into the broadcast and 2 sets of commercials and a tutorial?
-A doctor being let into the ring before the 5 minute recovery time?
-a doctor who was terrible?
-Kimbo not defending thr ground game from a guy with ZERO ground skills?
Yes john, there were a few good fights, but Kimbo would get owned by ANY top 100 fighter including BJ. I like his humbleness and the fact he’s soft spoken, but WHAT IS HE GONNA SAY? HE’S TERRIBLE! He’s making money, and good for him, but to be the guy to carry an organization is pathetic!!!
How bout BJ vs. every fighter on that card!
by kevin on Jun 1, 2008 2:31 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I WONDERED why they panned out like that! I thought he was taking some vicious shots or something… You’re exactly right to suspect that he was probably tapping or verbally submitting.
I think Kimbo has potential, but there is NO way this should have been a main event. Shaw is digging his own grave.
At this point, Elite’s best path forward is to specialize in female MMA. The UFC, WEC, have the lower male weight classes locked up. Affliction has a chance at becoming home for the heavy weights.

He is already 34, he has the potential to be a huge tomato can and a stepping stone for other fighters.

John: this is what your defending, Shaw is asked about a fight with Kimbo/Rogers.

kevin and everybody on this thread can we please agree that we will never watch en elitxc program EVER again? I dont care if it was free, I felt like, I just had intercourse after those fights… WITHOUT MY CONSENT. I could have mowed the lawn or something. Well prob, not in the dark, but I could have folded socks.
KIMBO HAS BEEN EXPOSED
and to everyone who says that he is new, or 3-0 or whatever. HE DOES NOT BELONG ON PRIMETIME TV THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by NewGuyTheGunMan on Jun 1, 2008 4:31 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I would call it “Kimbo Slice’s In Case of Emergency – Break Ear”. The ear that saved the hype. Without that ear Kimbo gets his first loss.
by theTRON on Jun 1, 2008 2:33 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
His ear is bad, but i’ve seen worse. And lets face it he wasn’t going to friggin die from a bleading ear.
Wot a load of shit!!
And yes I am a Kimbo hater (Before you start GORANDY)…..BECAUSE he is an overhyped thug making loads money in a sport where there are thousands of people with alot more talent making zero $.
rant over.
by MoonUK on Jun 1, 2008 2:41 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I don’t know moon Kimbo doesn’t seem like such a bad guy. Is he overhyped-absolutely. Is he a great fighter-far from it. But to his credit, he knows he has alot of work to do and admits it. I don’t believe he thinks he is ready for a top fighter He’s actually kind of humble. I don’t see him being real cocky or arrogant. I realize he is allowing himself to be promoted like Elite is doing but what the hell, he is making a whole helluva lot of money compared to fighting in backyards. Can you really blame the guy. By all accounts he trains hard and is busting his a$$ to get better. I give the guy two points for that.
by Iss-man on Jun 1, 2008 3:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
But is he training hard?
His cardio was rubbish! He had no takedown def against a poor wrestler, did nothing on the ground but take weak punches.
It was a stange form of laying and praying from slice in round two!
Is he a much different fighter than the one we watched on YouTube?
Yes he seems a humble kind of guy and talks well, but the whole thing just stinks to me.

lol, I am not the only one who thought of Goonies and expected his ears to start twitching. Can you imagine how that thing flops around when he jumps up and down? Is that the worst cauliflour ear in MMA??? Anyone know of anyone worse? Jens Pulver is bad, so is B.J. Penn, but not nearly that nasty.
Perhaps it was a target for the “chosen one” Kimbo to aim for.

Anyone see Beowulf? The newer one, when he fights Grendal. That’s what that fight reminded me of, just punch him in the ear as much as possible till he drops.
Grendal, if we’re naming just the thing on his head, or James “Glendal” Thompson if we’re naming him. lol

I just watched the fight again and in the second round even the announcer was saying “If Kimbo hits that ear, this fight could be over.” Was that a bit of foreshadowing or what?! How many people were in on this?
It was definitely an “easy” button just drooping there, waiting for Kimbo to pop it.

It was intentional, for sure. Procedures in order to drain it are relatively easy, and we all know that a good freak show is the best way to catch the audience.
Shame on CBS opening the doors to that kind of shit.
Shame on EliteXC promoting these kind of shit.
Shame on Kimbo pretending to ba a pro fighter.
Shame on Thompson being used that way.
Shame on us wasting our time with all this crap.
