I didn't want to see it stopped, that being said, this idiot shouldn't be in the ring with cauliflower ear that bad, thats just asked to get a fight stopped. That thing was pretty gross looking
Not UFC. Its EliteXC pretty big difference.
is the UFC affiliated with EliteXC at all fellas? I don't think it is. I agree about the stoppage but I think the reason this guy is in EliteXC is cos the boys in the UFC knew he was a bust.
No, EliteXC isn't related to the UFC. UFC & WEC are a joint venture I believe.
Horrible stop, especially considering how badly Kimbo had looked so far.
Sickening....I guess this will be no different that the Don King scam that boxing has become.
So what happened in the 3rd round? I went to the Rays game last night and recorded it. Just got done watching it, but I didn't record long enough. Stopped as both guys were going to their corner after the 2nd. They stopped it? why?
Kimbo landed a few big punches, staggered Thompson and popped his cauliflower ear. He was staggered but still standing and it was stopped. Quick stoppage. Kimbo probably would have blasted him a couple more times and knocked him down/out, but was an early stop. Dodgy stoppage, one you would expect when their meal ticket was in danger of losing.
That was the first time I've watched anything like this and thought it was pretty cool. In fact I'm watching the fight on VS right now.
