I wish they could find some competition for Shields. Untill they can, his fights are kind of pointless. Looking forward to seeing Ninja though. The main event is an absolute joke, but some good comes of it. If Ken loses he may actually retire, and if Kimbo loses, he will be exposed as the D level fighter he is. Lets hope for a simultaneous KO.

Paul Daley is a very worthy opponent?! wtf are you talking about?
by cmon_chokehim on Sep 24, 2008 4:08 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
If Jake can’t take the fight to the ground then Paul Daley is going to kNock his head off! Believe THAT!!!!
EliteXC Financial trouble:
losses are upwards of $56 million.
Their CBS deal only brings in $325,000 per show and much of their losses are in their sister companies like Icon, King of the Cage and mostly Cage Rage.

Exactly, Shields THINKS he can beat GSP, when he was having trouble with a PURE striker with NO ground game. He did beat him on the ground, but it wasn’t easy. GSP would EAT HIM ALIVE.

I agree that Kimbo keeps getting paired up with over-the-hill legends that are very beatable. But you have to admit that the fights are fun to watch. I can’t wait to see Gina fight Cyborg next. That will be a real test for Gina.

Cyborg will demolish her dime-a-dozen face into a glittery-smooth pulp.

While Cyborg is far better than her previous competition, I’m not going to count her out. Everybody and their grandmother on here was saying Kaitlin Young was going to whip her too.

I think alot of people think Gina is hot for a fighter, but I think she is gorgeous for any woman. She needs to keep doing good so she can ink the deal with Playboy.

Gina said “she does this cause she likes it”, also in an interview stated “NO” she would not pose! So Billy BOY Get a life…PERV!!!

not only is ken beatable, but his career in professional wrestling will prove valuable in “losing” the fight.
I believe a real fight ken would whoop kimbo pretty soundly.
by creagach on Sep 24, 2008 1:16 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I concur….But unfortunately, this ain’t a real Ken. It’s a washed up corpse of his former self. Best way for him to win is bite Kimbo like a zombie and choke him out in his own blood…Hehe!

Boy, I’m so excited for this card, it’s goddamn ridiculous….
I hope they play a loud, canned laugh track as Grandpa Shamrock stumbles into the cage. Cut to a ref who can’t hide a smirk and needs to pull a rubber-glove-over-the-mouth and turn away from the camera to avoid laughing. Pan over to Kimbo, bent over with his hands on his knees, wheezing from all that pre-fight shadowboxing. No doubt the ringside cut man remembers to leave a golfball sized ball of stray vaseline loosely hanging somewhere from Kimbo’s soul-glow beard for us to stare at. Cut to an embarrassingly large section of empty seats, then move the camera in on some douche bag holding his plastic cup of light beer screaming “Go ultimate fighting. Yay!”
Ecch.

I see Ken locking in his footlock WWF submission he used eons ago. Isn’t it funny to anyone else the massivescale Kimbo and Lesnar have been put on, yet Lesnar has had less fights and more credibility as a fighter?? Comparing his fights to Kimbos KO’s seems like Kimbo has more credit, it’s just too damn OBVIOUS how fake Kimbo is!! Also, IMO women’s MMA is too f**king boring to be placed above a Murilo Rua fight. IDGAF about how anyone thinks of Gina Carano, Cyborg Santos would destroy her in mere seconds.

This night shouldn’t be to shabby..It is free so I will be watching..These are my predictions on the victors…
Aina

Gina
Shields
Kimbo

Your actually picking Daley over Sheilds John?
I’m from the UK and am a big Daley fan but surely Sheilds will be too strong and G&P him out? Will be interested to see the odds.

I am a huge Jake Shields fan, and I really think he will win, but I must admit that I am really worried about my boy..If Jake gets too comfortable standing, and falls into Daleys game, he could end up eating a fist and waking up to bright lights in the rafters..
Jake must take this fight to the ground and work submissions..
Jake via second round sub!
by Stagger-Lee on Sep 24, 2008 8:48 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Daley has a great chance of pulling the upset. Its really simple, If Paul can keep the fight standing then Jake’s (who I am a fan of) getting knocked out. If jake gets the takedown, then he will mount Daley and pound him out.
All Daley needs to do to pull off the upset drill takedown defense constantly. This past year we have seen many fighters improve their takedow2n defense significantly:
Alves
Fioravanti
Machida
Its a skill that is not that hard to improve on. Its easier then learning how to defend 30 different submhissions. I have a feeling Daley is going to show up with MONSTER takedown defense and DRUG Sheilds!
Daley via KO!
by john on Sep 24, 2008 10:33 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The problem with being worried about being taken down is that if affects your offense. Will Daley be able to strike with his full arsenal if hes doing everything in his power to stand up?
Cote did a great job of staying on his feet vs Almeida but his striking sucked for it. When Cote was taken down he had enough skills to get back up. Not sure Daley does.

Its good to see someone with enough wisdom about mma to see the stand up power of uk fighters like daley and bisping! With people like roger gracie opening up bjj schools in the uk and gym’s like the wolfsliar is finally catching up to the U.S, brazil and japan.

Yes this is a 45 yr.old Shamrock, but if he takes this fight to the ground he negates the only skill Kimbo has.If Ken gets his self in super shape and can avoid those ponderous albeit effective haymakers that Kimbo throws and take the larger man to the ground, I see Ken ending this fight in suprisingly quick fashion.It’s only been a few months ago when Kimbo was exposed in the Thompson fight as having no ground or submission skills and poor stamina, I mean he couldn’t even talk because of breathing so heavy in the post fight interview
by eric on Sep 28, 2008 7:21 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I think the Kimbo vs. Ken fight will be real interesting. Kimbo really never had any real MMA training until recently and he’s being trained by a vetran UFC coach. I don’t remember his name though. He can only get better. Ken is pretty old and is going to have a tough time trying to muscle around big Kimbo. His only shot is to submit him. I really want to see if Kimbo learned from his last fight to work more on conditioning and ground defense. Should be a entertaining fight. If not, at least it was free. Better than all those gay reality shows.

kimbo doesnt have the power wtf our you talking about lets see you try to take a hit from him everyone knows he is going to kill shamrock you guys are so strict on kimbo slice the man was homeless with like six kids to support so underground fighting to support your family and you i would have done it too why arent yall this tough on brock just becase he a accomplished wrestler not everyone can go to college all brock has is size and wrestling dana bashes anyone who don’t sign with his ufc he said the same shit about fedor so wait and see kimbo first round knockout

I’m going to predict in advance that Kimbo/Ken goes very quickly, Kimbo escapes unharmed and fights Brett Rogers on Nov 8th.

It’s clear that Shamrock will win when he beats Kimbo with his walker. Ken’s glory days were when he beat Frank Gotch for the NWA title in 1912.

Frank called BS on Ken saying he was training lightly and got cut. Frank said , “Ken never trained lightly in his life”. He basically said it was stupid and unprofessional to take a chance right before a fight and he disrespected the family name.

Did I miss something? It looks like Affliction is all over the arena. Their name is printed on the fighter’s entrance and everything.
by Jrandolph on Oct 4, 2008 9:51 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Affliction sponsored the event. Elite has something that Affliction wants, (recognition- CBS) and Affliction has something that Elite wants (big name fighters and deep pockets). It really is a match made in heaven and Dana’s worst nightmare (Ok, at least a bad dream). If they merge it will be great for us fans, because it will (might) save Affliction and that will cause Dana to pump out TOP quallity events to remain on top.

they really should make the chick fights 5 minutes.. kobald pratically wasted a whole minute of the 3rd round on gina’s leg.

Watch when we see the salaries the fighters get, Kobald will probably earn $2000 or less, sadly.
I always wondered if it’s weird for the guys that they date when they go out after and their girl is all beaten and bruised, people must just assume you are a douche and u beat your girl.

Yeah I dont see how he could have improved his position anymore other than putting his knee on his stomach or getting full mount, it was somewhat ridiculous.
I think they were hoping Roy would trade with Arlovski more.
Didn’t really like the stoppage, but I understand.

He’s a good ground fighter he could have gone to guard. And standing up two fighters when one is in side mount is ridiculous. Still glad to see AA get the win though.

Welcome to Elite XC, they ALWAYS favor their favorites to win. They’re as close to fixed as it gets. There is only so much they can do though, when a fighter is KOed and defenceless, they have to stop the fight (Kimbo and Ninja). That said, it is seen to a lesser degree in the UFC (CC vs GG and Nate vs Silva). AA would have beaten Nelson anyway. He wasn’t in any trouble on the ground and Nelson was WAY out classed.

The only good fights on cbs so far have been Rua and Gina fight, the Gina fight would have been better if Kobald didn’t spend all that time trying to take Gina down. So much for her breaking Gina’s face. This Andre one is kinda boring so far.

Thank God that fight got exciting, what a hit by Arlovski

I can’t believe someone that posts on here picked Nelson to win in the 2nd. Laughable.

Ortiz sure is a dolt. You’d think he would of learned the last time he bragged about his great pending deal with Affliction. I don’t see how EliteXC can stay afloat financially. So far this card has been somewhat mediocre.

10-9 shields… the beginning and very end of the round saved daley from a 10-8

Shields wouldn’t last a minute with GSP or Silva with such sub par striking skills. The Shields/Daley fight was a snorefest.
by Muscle Dolphin on Oct 4, 2008 10:47 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
yeah.. if he did fight GSP, he would either get ko’ed on his feet, or, if by some miracle, he got hte fight to the ground, GSP would pull a switch and GnP him there, or armbar him. and RUSH can actually deal out punishment from the ground.
by sinister on Oct 4, 2008 10:50 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Not only sub par striking, but taking that long to submit a guy with NO ground game whatsoever. I laugh at his comment about fighting GSP, he would get owned in the first round,by any way GSP chooses,because GSP is better at everything. Fitch would beat Shields. Elite is good at building their heros,but they don’t look so good when they go up against anyone half decent.

This is mma, I really wish these damn strikers would have a freaking ground game. I hate watching a fight with a grappler vs striker and I know once these grapplers gets the striker to the ground most of the time the fight is over in due time. I cracked up laughing when jake shields said prestigous(sp?) elite xc belt. Oh and shields sucks maybe he should face some real competition. GSP, BJ penn and hell diego sanchez would destroy this guy.
I know I sound stupid just drunk, had a crappy day at work

And that was against a LHW who was at best an undercard guy in UFC, nowhere near even being a gatekeeper or sniffing the top 10. And he pwned Fergie.

And the punch that put him down wasnt even placed perfect! So maybe Kimbo doesnt have such a good chin?

Kimbo’s chin had never really been tested before.. so now we know!
by RoB on Oct 4, 2008 11:59 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Kimbo’s chin is pathetic and his recovery abillity is even worse. He walked into a stiff jab which hit him in the eye and he was down. The next 3 or 4 punches didn’t do dick (contrary to Frank’s commentary about the powerful bombs) One missed completely, one hit kimbo in the shoulder and another just grazed the top of his head. The camera angle blocked the last 2 punches, but the ref was already stopping the fight by then anyhow. Kimbo sucks, he can’t even beat a LHW nobody.

Finally someone tests Kimbo’s chin! His hands are always way to loose and his technique isn’t that good. Still a one trick pony! And Kimbo is a PR nightmare. He doesn’t speak anything intelligent or useful! I’m glad to see the Ferg go down like that!

Thank you so much Seth! Now the myth of Kimbo is finally over. From here on, hopefully he will no longer be this hyped killing machine the Elite CX keeps touting as the biggest MMA star EvAr. He should now just move on to regular non main event fights and build his skills up if he really wants to become a complete MMA fighter. It’s either that or just go back to street fighting.

That’s what Kimbo gets for refusing to “touch gloves” I am sure we will hear the arguement that he didnt prepare for Seth but the fact is, Kimbo and Elite were not able to hand pick his opponent and he got beat.
by bob on Oct 4, 2008 11:18 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Ranallo kept saying that same crap about Fergie not being prepared for Petruzelli. It’s a two-way street. Seth had the same amount of preparation for Fergie. Besides, was Fergie going to somehow change his gameplan, do something besides run straight forward with sloppy punches and beard menace?

Yup, they just now said oh well he was expecting Ken Shamrock blah blah. Other than Kimbo being exposed, I enjoyed the Arlovski fight, glad to see him getting his confidence back with a second solid performance. And Paul Semtex needs to learn some good ground skill then he will become a true force to be reckoned with!

Dana White should pay Seth what UFC fighters get for KO of the night. Not that it was a great knockout(seriously that punch was not even hard, he had a leg in the air), but Dana White should pay him just to really rub it in their face.

Dana White should give Seth some bonus money for that. He helped debunk a big myth and that was that Kimbo Slice has any skill.

I’m guessing that the CEO of CBS has had enough. When a mid level journeyman like Petruzelli (an Ultimate Fighter also ran who just took a year off) embarrassses your “franchise” it’s time to “throw in the towel”. How much money are they willing to loose? Almost every commercial (except for Affliction which probably got free commercials for lending Elite XC Arlovski) was just “in house” advertising – you can’t make money that way. The Fertittas must be laughing their *sses off.

Renelo was still nuthugging too.
Lame. Kimbo knocked out lots of people he knew nothing about before. There wasn’t even a shoot.
Exposed for fighting posers and seniors.
I’m so happy right now.

Ken got cut above his eye during practice. Doctors did not let him fight. So he was replaced by Seth. Rest is history.

overall review of the night.Gina looked good as alway and was hoping for a ko but oh well. Jake Shields sucks and i cant believe he is consider a top 10 WW.ha! i tried to like Jake Because of the Diaz brothers but his striking is f-ing horrible and his ground game was ok nothing stand out to me.Arlovski looked confused in the first rnd but i knew the Pitbull would get the ko.Finally the main event.i put a good amount of money on Shamrock hoping for an upset then Seth step in and i put even more money on Seth.in conclusion I GOT PAID!

it looked like seth got a shot to the back of the heaad when kimbo first went down, not picking sides but its kinda weird the ref didnt see it.
by itstobaby!!! on Oct 4, 2008 11:57 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
How could he get a shot to the back of his head when he didn’t really hit anything. Watch the slow motion, he just BARELY grazed the top of his head, the other punches hit air and shoulder.
by Gord on Oct 5, 2008 1:22 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
he hammer fisted the back of his head while kimbo was on all fours.

The ref was ALREADY stopping the fight, so it is irrelevant.

Does Vince McMahon have anything to do with elite xc?
He must because some of this is as fake as the WWF/E??
Slice got a couple of side fists in the general area of his head and he’s OUT?? PLEASE!
Petrocelli’s front kick did not hit him, and except for one (that gave slice a small cut over the left eye) his punches never hit anything important and appeared very weak.
I’ll watch elite if Gina’s fighting but for the rest I’ll stick to UFC
