I was going to post the article on yahoo.com but see that it was posted already. I'm sure if the fight was fixed or not. But, I do know Kimbo is just like Bill Sapp. Entertainment! Not saying good entertainment but that's all he is to MMA. It takes more to being an MMA fighter than being a street fighter. When will the public learn this. They are two totally different entities.

omg. I can't believe the stupid posts in this thread. kimbo didn't tap and why would he? that submission doesn't cause any pain. the only thing that would happen is kimbo would pass out and he didn't. he was clearly giving the thumbs up that he is ok. I mean, forget the fact that kimbo was about 5 seconds away from ko'ing thompson, but his ear popped and blood was coming out uncontrollably. if the ref handn't had stopped it there, it probably would've been the bloodiest match in mma history. I mean, I've seen the lamest forms of conspiracy theories in my life, but this one ranks right up there.
I'm not much of a fan of MMA, but I did watch that match and have the same impressions. I've seen quite a few more questionable stoppages in boxing this year alone.
kimbo slice.....is the one to save MMA, so they will do what they can
wow, lol. interesting. kimbo is saving mma which is the fastest growing sport in the world(eye roll).
kimbo is gonna be soon forgotten and so will Elite XC. UFC is the past, present and future of mma. don't look to elitexc to represent mma cuz thats like looking at the NABO belt holder in boxing and saying that he is the best boxer in the world.
I know Bas is training him and all (but that can all be part of the stage act created by EliteXC to hype him up and squeeze as much money as they can with his name) .
Baz is training him cause a 10% cut on a single fight equates to a middle class annual income. im sure if it was off the record baz would tell you kimbo is mediocre at best.
you mentioned certain guys may blow him out in 1 round, however i think that opponents who try that will give kimbo the only good chance to win.
any good guy, even if he is a great striker, should just string kimbo out for a round and take him out when he is too tired to properly defend

It was fixed because YOU CANNOT stand up a fighter if he has side control or mount like Thompson had, even if they don't throw punches you cannot stand em up
Sorry man. I just read the article and wanted some of you to see it. I should have just posted the link...LOL
lol, at first glance i thought it was something you wrote up. A link would be great.
That, my friend, is an incredibly long post.
