Kimbo Slice: "MMA FIghter Wins By TKO." Bystander Kimbo Slice has claimed to our reporter that a MMA fighter won a bout via TKO in the third round. We have no way of confirming at this time. Kimbo describes himself as an avid fan of the sport.

Jesus Christ I bet on Kimbo but it's because I thought it was an enormous mismatch. I told my friends that the way I was seeing it: Kimbo was a terrible MMA fighter but at least you could tell he trained. He showed he can do some things marginally well or at least well compared to guys who didn't train at all. Meanwhile Dada was 2-0 in MMA and his fight with Cedric James was the biggest poo poo show I've ever seen before Dada/Kimbo. James was 0-6 in his career and had Dada mounted and was ready to start beating the poo poo out of him and the ref stood them up for no reason whatsoever. Also, when you see sloppy standup in MMA you often refer to it as a "bar fight", but James/Dada literally LOOKED LIKE loving BAR FIGHT when it was standing. The guy had no business being in a cage with a fighter who, while terrible, had years of training and several pro fights on his resume.

Not only did Kimbo not dominate Dada, but he could've easily lost that loving fight. And Dada was literally loving dying for the last 10 minutes of the fight. Holy poo poo. That whole thing blew my mind.

If you want real fights, you can watch UFC or WSOF. Bellator fills a special, but very important, niche of having national TV coverage and being willing to do incredible freakshow fights, and we should be grateful for that.

Here's the article:

http://www.f4wonline.com/mma-news/b..._medium=twitter


quote:

Ratings are in Bellator 149 and it appears that fans like a good freak show. The 3 plus hour show beat the previous record for the promotion by nearly 25%, averaging 1,964,000 viewers. The show was, of course, headlined by the double main event of Ken Shamrock vs Royce Gracie 3 and Kimbo Slice vs Dada 5000.

The previous record for Bellator MMA on Spike also involved Slice and Shamrock as last June’s event, where they fought each other, averaged 1,580,000 viewers. Friday’s number was also more than double the amount of the last two Bellator tentpole shows that aired on Spike in September (800,000) and November (814,000).

The peak rating for the event came during the 3 round debacle that was Kimbo v Dada at 2.5 million viewers. The main event featuring Royce Gracie scoring a questionable TKO over Shamrock in the first round did 2.4 million.



Fights involving Slice have now set records for Elite XC (6.5 million vs James Thompson), UFC (5.3 million for a taped fight with Roy Nelson) and Bellator. Years after making his name as a YouTube street-fighting sensation, Kimbo is still a television ratings draw. Of that, there is no question.

Of importance to advertisers, the Kimbo-Dada fight did a rating of 2.34 in Men aged 18-34. That’s almost triple what Bellator usually does and another record for the promotion.

Bellator is back on Spike TV this coming Friday with Bellator 150 emanating from Kansas and featuring a Bantamweight Title fight between Marcus Galvao and Eduardo Dantes in the main event.

what stands at the most to me the most from the videos is that the ring girl seems to be a regular clothed human just sort of leaning against a sign that had the round number on it. which i like a lot, and i bet with enough years of research they can eventually get rid of the waving person and just have the sign

I still don't understand what happened after the takedown. Kimbo mounted a guy seconds into the first round, sat on him doing nothing for several minutes, and when McCarthy finally stood them up for inactivity Kimbo was totally gassed. How? It's not like Dada was making him work to maintain the position. Kimbo didn't do anything to expend energy! It was like watching somebody get breathlessly exhausted from sitting in a chair for two minutes.

Here we all were, sitting around thinking Kimbo/Dada was the dumbest fight of the decade. Turns out it wasn't even the dumbest fight of the weekend. A 68-year-old woman made her MMA debut and got TKO'd. Not the ugliest stoppage in the world, but considering her age it is pretty bad.

That's uh.... that's cool, Joe.
