“Rocky is hear” “ROCKY ROCKY” Thats the stupidest thing ive ever heard! In order for Seth to be Rocky, his opponent had to be the champ or the best. Rocky fought Apollo the champ, Seth fought a fake MMA fighter. Thats far from being a Rocky story.

Seriously, that was just lame! The commentating for the CBS shows is worse than Affliction. The majority of the talking is done by an uncomfortable Shamrock and a douche who doesn’t know sh*t about MMA. Marulo is the best and speaks the least. I would rather see Stephen “Fire Marshall Bill” Quadros in there over those other 2 goons.

JV AND BNF. i just watched espn’s PTI and they were talking about dan’s comments on elite and kimbo being bad for the sport. micheal wibon said " no it wont, because their fans dont care if its fixed". lebatard tried to argue back, but couldnt hardly get a word in. i think this pretty much backs up all of our arguements on how elite is bad for mma and that alot of the media clump all mma together. it’s obvious that 90% of the fans do care that the kimbo/petro fight was dubious and that, but the most of the sports media think they are all the same. wilbon really pissed me off. he usually kinda sticks up for mma, but thinks KIMBO is the face of mma. sad!

At least the Kimbo train crashed and XC will be a bad memory soon. I just hope the UFC can swoop up some of the talanted guys like Fiejos, Alvarez, Grim, Cameos, Shields, ect…

But then I see the Villasenior/Lawer and Diaz/Alvarez card and I am excited again about a XC card. WTF!

I saw taht too and they even misinterpreted Dana’s comments. They said that dana was saying that kimbo’s loss was bad for mma… no true. Dana was sayign that kimbo even being on the card was bad for mma

b.w.: Dude.. Iwas thinking the same exact thing.. everytime I hear Wilbon. I would shake my head.. Wlibon is a hater.. a huge hater.. " The I love boxing..and this it type.." he made some real lame brain ignorant statements.. Realli.. repped for us.. and lebatard.

Wilbon.. said MMA is fake!! I wanted to throw something at him.. but knew it would only hit my screen.

PHIL. when he compared mma to pro wrestling as fake, thats when i typed my rant. tony reali at the end told wilbon that he was wrong about mma and it was infuriating to talk about mma with him. of course reali fits into the 18-34 demo and wilbon doesnt.

Wilbon’s pretty much an idiot on all topics and isn’t an MMA supporter. He is just a Kimbo hugger. While I didn’t hear the most recent comments, everything he has said before basically shows how little he knows on the subject.

by Dylan on Oct 9, 2008 4:43 PM EDT reply actions

its only on the net for now. im not sure what time, but today is the day it usually airs. hopefully the show will be put on the deuce.

$204 million gross? Damn, son!
Oh and before I forget, fuck Kimbo. Quit talking about this jobber already. The inevitable happened. The only surprise should be that it happened sooner than expected.

Off topic. Hey mania what’s with everyones comments getting stuck in limbo? Like my posts don’t show up for a while later and i’ve seen other people complain of this recently.

Nvm, seems to be working now. Sorry.

Is it possible for Jeff Sherwood to get any fatter. How am I supposed to look at this guy and respect his views on elite athletes when it is obvious that the only way he could run 2 blocks is if the ice cream truck missed a stop.

LMAO. is it possible for him to become an even bigger idiot.

Yeah it is like an anorexic person doing a TV show about cooking, just pathetic.

I’m glad to hear them talking about the stand-up during the Arlovski-Nelson fight, because I thought it was terrible. I’m a fan of Arlovski and I wanted to see him win, but I don’t understand the ref standing them up when Nelson has him in side control and is working for submissions. It felt like another clear example of Elite XC attempting to influence the outcome of their fights (the stoppage in the fight between Kimbo Slice and James Thompson being another example).

by GregC on Oct 9, 2008 11:37 PM EDT reply actions

well neither Nelson or Arlovski even fight for Elite XC so I dont think that was the case of Elite XC trying to influence the fight… I think the ref was just an amateur and heard the crowd booing and stood them up… yeah i actually had 100 on arlovski and felt pretty bad for nelson when they stood the fight up…

Although Nelson and Arlovski do not fight for Elite XC, they are partnering, and representing Elite XC. IT would have been horrible for Elite XC, Affliction, and Golden Boy Productions to have Arlovski get submitted by a guy who looke dlike he just finished eating a dozen bear claws as his warm up.

Sadly Kimbo earned $500,000 for his 4th shady fight, while Jake Shields a life long MMA Athlete and Champion won a title defense and only got $50,000. Wow!!! He’s a BUm ROCK! Why is everyone I fight a bum….
