Not too excited about this event. I still keep thinking about all the crap with the last one. Watching the camera zoom in on Chris Lytles blood gushing head at the last UFC, all I could think was I wonder what CBS would be doing right now. “Cut to commercial!!!!”

The goat vagaina…

by BNF on Jul 13, 2008 1:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

stinkys predictions and bets-

feijao/the gladiator = the gladiator(no bet)

reis/caraway = caraway on a 5,00 bet.

bigfoot/eilers = bigfoot on a 5,000 bet.

also- i have another bet with a seperate bookie who has great underdog odds so i put up 1,000 on eilers.
so with these bets i am gauranteed to profit.

if eilers wins i win 10,000 bucks minus the 5,000 i would pay on my lost bet. so i would end up with 5k profit.

if bigfoot wins i win 2,500 minus the 1k on my lost bet.

baszler/cyborg = cyborg(no bet)

diaz/denny = diaz on a 7,500 bet.

shields/thompson = jake on a 10,000 bet.
also agian i put up money with another bookie and with 10-1 odds i had to put 1k on thompson so if jake does lose i break even.

lawler/smith = robbie on a 7,500 bet.

no parlays this time cause my parlay picks have not been going good lately!

all these bets r finale so no going back on them 4 me.

my prediction is i get all 7 fights right so lets see what happens.

I notice there are no dollar signs, so are these bets in governmet vouchers or food stamps?

by the_mexicutioner on Jul 26, 2008 9:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well I will believe hes got the money until proved otherwise. Doesnt matter to me either way. It also hads to the site. Looks like he had a good night. His only dropped fight was the Caraway loss.

oops. It also adds to the site.

i have not seen jake shields fight live yet (only replays on the net) so i am anixous to see him. i think thompson is a better fight than shields/fickett because i think the goat is a little more hungry. we already know that lawler/smith is gonna be great, and nick diaz is always entertaining. after the 1rst show i was really down on elite and still am to a certain extent, but it seems like they are trying to do the right thing, like putting gary shaw in the closet and not having the rappers and dancers like the 1rst time. i watched the sherk/penn event live and have already watched all the replays i want on that show, so it looks like im going to give elite a 2nd chance. this is the make or break event for them and i dont know if they can rfecover from their 1rst show debacle and contraversies. oh well its still free and thats always a BIG plus.

by b.w on Jul 13, 2008 12:27 PM EDT reply actions  

only fight im interested in is scott smith vs robbie lawler, and seeing nick diaz fight at home haha probably the only time in his life he wont get booed

Diaz get’s booed?

by Ro-J on Jul 13, 2008 7:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

This event looks a considerable amount better than the first. I am glad I have Showtime because all 3 of those matches should be very entertaining. The CBS card looks pretty good too. The 2 titles matches are going to be great and the 2 under card matches should be exciting, even if not great.

by El dirte on Jul 13, 2008 2:00 PM EDT reply actions  

The promos to the fights will be longer than the actual fights themselves, just like last time. It should be a horrible show, again. Im not watching.

by the_mexicutioner on Jul 13, 2008 5:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

I’ll give you one thing mexicutioner, you stick to your guns. But maybe give it a chance, with the demotion of tub ’o goo Shaw, it just might be decent.

BS, they are puting a girl fight on CBS and not the HW title fight. Whatever, I would rather watch UFC 84 again then this garbage.

I won’t watch this they forever will be remembered for that crap show with kimbo and thompson. DEATH TO ELITE XC!!!!!!!

I agree, I hope Elite XC just goes away and Dana signs Diaz back with the UFC. Until then, I will watch the Nick Diaz fight.

by the_mexicutioner on Jul 26, 2008 9:37 PM EDT up reply actions  

the two cbs title fights are the only decent looking fights. shields vs thompson looks like it could be more of a ground fight, and the lawler fight, duh, stand up.

by sinister on Jul 13, 2008 7:13 PM EDT reply actions  

The CBS card is promiseing. i can’t wait to see Lawler vs. Smith again. Those guys were true warriors ion the last fight. Then Nick Diaz, hes always a good draw. Also the showtime card, I want to see the Silva vs. Eilers fight. Justin eilers is a tough guy who had to fight Paul Buentello and then Brandon Vera in consecutive fights losing both sending him out of the UFC. Should be a good fight , i hope Bigfoot doesn’t look past or underestimate Eilers. He is a MFS boy

by BLS1919 on Jul 13, 2008 9:09 PM EDT reply actions  

I don’t understand why the HW title is not shown on the main televised CBS card. Didn’t Kimbo, who is a heavweight, make a fool of himself on the CBS televised card and yet they won’t even show the title fight. I must admit by the way the Shaw’s talk you would have thought that Kimbo was the champion but the fact is he isn’t.

by "Mr. NC-17" on Jul 26, 2008 6:19 PM EDT reply actions  

Well the first fight is done with Reis basicly controling on the ground. No sub attempts but good ground skills by both guys. The striking went to Caraway but he couldnt keep his back off the mat.

If you want to fight the best in the world dont sign with an organization that doesnt contain them. Wish Shields would shut up with his damn wants cause no one cares about him wanting fights that cant happen.

by NorthStar on Jul 26, 2008 9:48 PM EDT reply actions  

True. Shields is incredible, but we’ve all discussed this whole cross promotion stuff before. The UFC is NOT going to help a smaller, inferior company by letting them ride their coattails to success. I was expecting a bit more of a fight, but nice work by Shields.

by chefdaddy on Jul 26, 2008 9:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

His statement about GSP/Fitch was odd. It’s like he subconsciously knows that his title is like an arena football leagues championship compared to the NFL.

I’m already happy with how they cleaned up the broadcast and got rid of all the bs. Kimbo aka pigpen looks just as filthy as usual. I love how the commentator called him polished and articulate. Jake looked very sharp, well the Goat can go study for the bar now.

Shields needs to fight fitch after fitch loses. He is def the 2nd best ww out there.

by GasManShad on Jul 26, 2008 10:03 PM EDT reply actions  

Respectfully disagree. Shields is about equivalent to Condit. The only way that Shields will gain any real respect would be if he left EliteXC or waits for it to fold.

Typical Diaz fight so far. stopping punches with his face and going for submissions. I honestly didn’t think Denny would last this long, and it’s only 2 minutes in.

Cyborg/Baszler has been the best so far for me. Shields won too easy. Diaz fight was a sloppy mess. Hope the next fight is great otherwise this card has been very lacking for me.

Ehlers was hanging on to the cage for deal life, why did Herb Dean let him get away with that?

Yeah I hear what your saying but I don’t feel like anything funny’s going on. At least the finishes aren’t questionable.

Mauro Renallo = most annoying announcer in history. I thought loudmouth phonies like him went out of fashion in the 80s. You’re not Howard Cosell, dude, settle the hell down.

Totally agree. I’ve always thought that his comments were beyond moronic. Every fights the best ever etc…

This show sucks so far. And the next one will only have one good fight on it

Well this card ended up being very poor. Dont really know what to say about it.

Why do all the fights Elite puts on seem to be so one sided?

by NorthStar on Jul 26, 2008 10:52 PM EDT up reply actions  

Most of the matches in EliteXC are mix-matches. The Diaz fight was a total mix-match. The Shields “fight” was extremely boring. The Cyborg fight was a mix-match. The Lawler/Smith fight was okay (but not that great IMHO). Unless CBS’s third card is cast in stone, I’d say that there is a 50:50 chance that there won’t be one. This was equivalent to a weak UFN with annoying announcers. Many people focus on Affliction’s potential impact on the UFC. EliteXC has a lot more to be worried about wrt Affliction.

you know it’s actually called a mismatch right.

by J on Jul 27, 2008 12:46 AM EDT up reply actions  

i agree. it was a great night…..of mis-match’s! at least overall it was a better show than the 1rst. much better production and no contraversies.

I meant mismatch. Not quite sure why I wrote mix-match?!

Ok what the hell was Scott Smith doing there? How about I just stand here in the clinch and let Robbie beat the tar out of me while I do nothing. Retarded.

I wonder if Anderson had to get permission from Dana to be at EliteXC like Rampage did for Afflicton last week…

by DSmith on Jul 26, 2008 10:53 PM EDT reply actions  

he was there because he was cornering Feijão, he just set back to watch the rest of the fights. I don’t think he needs permission to corner. The event was great BTW, many ppl here didn’t seem to enjoy, but I thought all fights were exciting specially the woman fight (singular on purpose :) and the Lawler fight.

by linx on Jul 26, 2008 11:03 PM EDT up reply actions  

The event was great?? The Shields fight was exciting?? I personally don’t like to see females fighting.

by Muscle Dolphin on Jul 26, 2008 11:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

why do you even bother to watch EliteXC anyways dude? if you’re biased to UFC just keep on watching UFC. EliteXC put a great show with the few talent they had, I’m not gonna hate, I love competition and I want to see them succeed for sure. the more the better, and yes, fights were great…

PS: if you don’t like to see women fighting just change the channel… Did you watch?

by linx on Jul 26, 2008 11:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

Of course I watched it – just being honest and realistic. I guess different people have different definitions of what “great” means. To each his own….

by Muscle Dolphin on Jul 26, 2008 11:17 PM EDT up reply actions  

What I mean by ‘great’ is that it was great for EliteXC’s level, they don’t have a deep pool of great fighters, you can’t compare a company such as EliteXC to UFC, because UFC is WAY ahead of any other promotions when it comes to great fighters. But, it was great at EliteXC’s level, they were good fights. I thought the night of fights were good enough to make a good impression on someone who doesn’t follow MMA, and might bring them closer to the sport.

There are different definitions of ‘great’ depending on what we’re talking about. For example, I went to my son’s football game (8 year old) and he played great! Now, he’s not an athlete but at that level he played great (I don’t have a kid, just an example). Then I went to see Atletico (professional football team) and they played great! Understand?

I am glad someone enjoyed the event. The only fight I really liked was the ladies.

by NorthStar on Jul 26, 2008 11:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

I thought tonight’s fights were a hell of alot better than their 1st show. I enjoyed it. It’s definately not a UFC ppv caliber show but it was a good free show. If we paid for it the message boards would be on fire.

by DSmith on Jul 26, 2008 11:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

I agree tonights shows more class, removing Gary Shaw from the stage production event probably had a lot to do with it. I think the fights are ok, some mismatches with action. Diaz wasn’t swearing like a punk…lol. They need some better matchups and some of their big heavy hitters for the next one. Glad they didn’t make Kimbo their heavyweight champion. Announcing is pretty good as well. Elite XC is shaping up.

by THORAZINE on Jul 27, 2008 12:41 AM EDT up reply actions  

Agreed. The last Elite card was an embarrassment to MMA and I watched this expecting it to be just as bad with less hyped fighters but all four fights were really good. Jake Shield’s guillotine choke was masterful and Nick Thompson is a legit fighter. All were action packed fights, the stoppages we a little late if anything, the production was less cheesy, so it was a vast improvement.

I wish I would have watched the replay of UFC 84 instead

by Ian on Jul 26, 2008 10:59 PM EDT reply actions  

I had my dvr recording both even though I bought 84. It’s definately worth seeing again. I’m gonna watched again now. I thought the Smith-Lawlor fight was a good brawl.

by DSmith on Jul 26, 2008 11:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

BTW you know that Spike is playing 84 back to back. It starts again in 15 minutes

It’s funny, the UFC had two different shows on two different channels to compete with Elite XC (had a highlight show on Fox as well as the show on Spike.)

by chefdaddy on Jul 26, 2008 11:00 PM EDT reply actions  

And dont you wish you watched either of them now?

by NorthStar on Jul 26, 2008 11:03 PM EDT up reply actions  

I felt a lot better bout this CBS card than the last one. No dancing bus station skanks (high class bus station skanks, mind you), no rappers leading the fighters in. It was an all around better card IMO, production value and all. Plus the fights were pretty sick.

by primary Knukkle on Jul 26, 2008 11:09 PM EDT reply actions  

The production was less tackier than last time. IMHO the fights were equivalent to an average UFN.

by Muscle Dolphin on Jul 27, 2008 12:50 AM EDT up reply actions  

The refs seem to be actually going out of their way to not stop the fights too early. Nice. That is a definite improvment.
That was funny when cyborg jumped on the cage cause she thought she won. And that other broad still got knocked out.

by Mattchupichu on Jul 26, 2008 11:09 PM EDT reply actions  

Bigfoot hit who ever he was fighting like 5+ times in the back of the head.

What is the rule for kicking a downed opponent, just wondering with lawler flailing at smith the last couple of seconds…

by Yikes on Jul 26, 2008 11:10 PM EDT reply actions  

You just cant kick them in the head when they are down

by Ian on Jul 26, 2008 11:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

you can’t kick someone’s head while their on the ground. hitting their body is 100% legal, so there was nothing illegal in the main event.

Much improved since the first Sat night show. However, it looked like there were a lot of empty seats, and even during the main event. That’s not good for EXC. I thought the fights were pretty good, and they definately have Affliction beat on production.

diaz/denny fight – props to denny for showing heart, moving forward wobbling!! and taking the fight to diaz anywhere it went even though he couldn’t land that 2 for the life of him! Still, Nick looked waaaaay out of his league.

smith/lawler – holy crap! smith ate 3 monster knees to the body & 2 to the head! dayyyaamm!!

shields/thompson – same ol Jake in good form. IN 1 MINUTE!! LOL!! WTF!! where’s GSP?!

Honestly didn’t expect much but nothing fake about tonight! Solid, action packed night of fights. I don’t know what happenned, ELITEXC IS BACK!

by kama kaze on Jul 27, 2008 1:08 AM EDT reply actions  

What happened was they removed Gary Shaw from the production. It’s most likely Shaw was responsible for the dancing hookers and thought Baroni acting like a male stripper is what fans wanted to see.

Maybe a smart executive actually watched a UFC event to see what a real MMA show looked like and decided to try that!

by THORAZINE on Jul 27, 2008 1:21 AM EDT up reply actions  

yea, it could very well be that or something to do with CBS. Honestly, the production for the CBS show didn’t bother me. It was the integrity of the fights itself: judges, refs, popping ear that seemed fake to me. Whatever it was, was a non-issue for this event.

by kama kaze on Jul 27, 2008 1:31 AM EDT up reply actions  

Just got home from the fights. It was crazy loud. Also some good fights in the crowd. Gina Carano was beautiful in person.

Gary Shaw should first do the honorable thing and grant the job interview his office in NJ promised me over a year ago.
I am not too happy in having to wait, then, have Mr. Shaw not even respond to my emails.
I would put my knowledge overall(Martial Arts, boxing, wrestling)against anyone working for Mr Shaw.
On to another subject.
The UFC is MMA’S elite organization, but ELITE XC is doing a fine job for the amount of time it’s been around.
It would take a boxing promoter like Don King to branch into MMA promotions in order to give the UFC a stiff challenge.
Just my 2 cents…
