I love the tagline on the Slice/Shamrock fight that we've been waiting 7 years for it.

Really? Where exactly has that pent up demand been hiding?

I know they were supposed to fight 7 years ago when at least Kimbo was still relevant (as more a sideshow than anything legit, but still relevant), but Ken supposedly got hurt in training and, if memory serves, Kimbo got beat in 10 seconds by the no-name who replaced him (Seth Backinsky or something like that, I think).

So at least Kimbo and his camp and perhaps Ken have been waiting this long. As for the rest of the world, it's probably as fascinating as a particularly ugly car crash.

That fight was nuts, he was done at the end of the first round, saved by the bell.

Shamrock couldn't even make 205 so they could call it a heavyweight fight. Dude is giving up almost 30 pounds to Kimbo.

That really needs to be the last time Shamrock enters an MMA ring. I mean the guy just has no chin at this point. He can't protect himself out there.

I am still laughing right now.

Shamrock goes from having a rear naked choke locked in to being knocked out within like 15 seconds. How can that even be possible.

Because he let him out of the choke.

Apparently Brock Lesnar forgot he was in the WWE and not the UFC anymore >> http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/general/wwe-mma-wrestling/jamie-noble-injury-wwe-confirm-authority-member-injured-by-brock-lesnar-during-raw-and-are-evaluating-his-condition-10338140.html

In all seriousness, I watched a clip of the video... it looked like your normal/routine WWE stuff. I know Lesnar has 'hulked' out in the past, but I honestly do not believe this to be the case this time.

Hell I remember Shamrock back in the early days of the UFC with Royce Gracie and the rest. In UFC one a boxer tried to wear one glove going against Royce....didnt work out too well.

The UFC has great momentum but cannot start down that road where people start to believe it is fake like WWF.

It was Bellator not the UFC, Bellator is desperate for ratings and will do whatever to get them.

Gotcha. Shows how much I follow it nowadays. Makes even more sense now that they put on that pathetic display!

I started watching it when it started and UFC 1 and such where most didnt even know what was going on. I still enjoy watching MMA when i flip through but I dont go seeking it out like I used to.

Yeah, I know man. When I do watch I kick myself for not watching it more often.
