kimbo looked terrible in the fight.

[The Goods]

You can't win by knock out everytime.

[MidWest]

You can not look tired after the first round which he did not. if he fights a decent fighter he has a good chance of losing.

[Kawz]

Agreed....

[MidWest]

Also right now knockout power is all he has. You have to be able to do more in this sport

[Final Boss]

Dat nigga kimbo a beast

[Flexamill]

Kimbos improving and the heavyweight division is thin, given the right matchups he'll get better. On the feet Thompson was getting rocked and to be honest the ref should of let the fight continue so kimbo could of knocked him out. Credit where its due though, Thompson played it smart and exposed kimbo's ground game.

[MidWest]

Kimbo was calm on the ground but thompson gave him no room to do anything. If the round didn't end they would have had to stop it he couldn't defend himself. I was glad to see it go 3 rounds. i want to see kimbo go for a take down. Perfect the ground and pound * no homo just in case tego reads this*

[xXME UNITXx]

Cool and collected or getting his head bashed in with elbows.

cool and collected.like i said you dont kno what its like to be in that position he handled it well he didnt panic and give his back up to his opponent thats what counts

Andre's girl is nice

at tomorrow's Affliction press conference in Manhattan, Donald Trump will be announcing that former UFC heavyweight champion, Andrei Arlovski, has officially signed with the upstart promotion. The Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization and the Special Counsel to Donald J. Trump, Michael D. Cohen, confirmed the news with MMARated.com.

It has long been rumored that Arlovski would be facing Ben Rothwell on the inaugural Affliction card but Mr. Cohen would not officially comment on when "The Pit Bull" would be making his debut. We should, however, find out more tomorrow.

Trump will also announce that he has become an equity partner in the Affliction promotion. When asked what percentage of the organization he now owns, Mr. Cohen would only say "a significant amount."

Finally, when asked if Trump's relationship with Tito Ortiz would help bring the former UFC light heavyweight champion to Affliction, Cohen said:

"Everything that Donald Trump does is the biggest and the best and the "Afflcition: Banned" show will be just that.

Due to the status of the Trump mark, and Donald Trump as a mogul business man, Mr. Trump has received dozens of phone calls from fighters who are interested in joining the Affliction family."

[Cowboy13012]

If it was anyone but Kimbo, the fight would have been over. Kimbo wasnt defending himself at all.

[xXME UNITXx]

watch the fight...not like a blood thirsty fan but a fighter

[Flawless]

I was glad to see it go 3 rounds. i want to see kimbo go for a take down. Perfect the ground and pound * no homo just in case tego reads this*

funniest shit in a while..sig check..

[bigdog]

kimbo would get killed by any average fighter. i like kimbo, dude is a good street fighter, but MMA ain't cut out for him. i was surprised to see him get out of some moves by thompson, including that crucifix.

tomorrow night...HBO....Kelly Pavlik defends his title against John Duddy...Duddy gonna get his ass knocked out in 3.

[Kawz]

Anybody have a link to the UFC 85 Card?

Missed it....but I know the outcomes.

[Cowboy13012]

It sucked so bad, it's not even worth watching.

I watched the Pavlik fight instead.

MMARATED SPEAKS WITH MIKULA (CLICK TO LISTEN)
UFC heavyweight champ Andrei Arlovski appeared as a security guard on The Jerry Springer Show back in September of 2007, now he’s a candidate to sit in one of those coveted chairs on The Springer Show stage.
Word out of Chicago this weekend says Arlovski got the ultimate kick in the groin when arch-rival Tim Sylvia was seen hanging with the Russian’s old flame Patrycja Mikula. Sylvia was attending the Adrenaline MMA show at the Sears Centre in Arlovski’s backyard.
Is this a WWE-style ploy to build to a fourth Sylvia-Arlovski fight? The angle has ‘Chris Benoit stealing Kevin Sullivan’s wife, Woman’ written all over it.
Is Mikula actually smitten with the 6-foot-8 ‘Maine-iac' Sylvia? Or is she using poor Tim as a pawn to get back at her old boyfriend? And is it cheesy for Sylvia to be scooping up Arlovski’s leftovers?
Mikula is actually more than a leftover. The big Russian had dated the Polish beauty for over two years. She gained internet fame as Arlovski's mate when she was targeted by MMA fans at her MySpace page. Fans lashed out at Mikula alleging that she turned Arlovski soft. Arlovski did get very metrosexual, waxing his body hair for fights, once he shacked up with Mikula. But no one should shred an athlete who puts his butt on the line in the cage or ring.

What could be worse for Arlovski than watching his old flame cozying up with a guy who beat him in 2-of-3 fights, and consistently badmouths him?
Apparently there are few rules when it comes to dating with Sylvia.
Don’t forget former Miletich Camp teammate, Matt Hughes, called out Sylvia for screwing over a friend, in his book Made in America:

HUGHES: He was waiting for me to tell him there was a big misunderstanding or to apologize, like I wasn’t aware of what I was doing."Yeah, I really don’t like you," I told him.
SYLVIA: "Is there a reason why?"
HUGHES: "I don’t think you’re a team player and I don’t think you work very hard," I said.
SYLVIA: "How am I not a team player?"
HUGHES: "Remember that whole thing with that girl?" I reminded him.
He waved those ridiculously long arms of his in the air.
SYLVIA: "They weren’t even going out!"

If you’re thinking this is all nonsense. Sylvia’s tryst with Mikula was confirmed by solid Miletich Camp sources, who said the Playboy model is simply a ‘wallet and belt chaser.’
As if Sylvia didn’t have enough motivation, a victory over Fedor on July 19th may keep Mikula around for a while. Watch out Fedor!
