Brigham, I'd have to disgree about BB not hving any ground game. I think it's a lot more established than Kimbo's.
"Butterbean is the only one who has not been in a tourney style format. "
Kimbo's been in a tournament?
Hopefully this happens in Feb- it would be in Tacoma, WA, would love to see this live!
"Brigham, I'd have to disgree about BB not hving any ground game. I think it's a lot more established than Kimbo's. "
Could be. I guess I look at the fact that Minowa submitted him and Minowa is MUCH smaller.
Butterbean did submit Zulu LoL. But I honestly would give the edge of submissions to Kimbo, if for no other reason, because he is working with Bas.
It's funny to see the UFC taking the high road, and Showtime putting stuff like this.
"I would pick Butterbean to win that one.. you really think Sapp would beat him?"
WTF? Sapp has shown so much more in MMA than Butterbean. He beat the shit out of Nog for 10 minutes while Butterbean was getting tapped by a lightweight. Sapp would completely destroy Butterbean.
that actually sounds pretty cool. i hope they pull it off.

It doesn't matter which promotion put this tournament on, I'd watch it! That's got great potential for entertainment. I think Tank -vs- Kimbo has to happen, the atmosphere for that fight would be intense.
I hope they do it over two shows though, rather than one. Would hate for the tournament final to be ruined.

What do you mean? one night tournaments are way more entertaining...
Butterbean would make Sapp cry within seconds a la Sefo, croCop etc
this tourney happening would be the best x-mas present i could ever hope to get....SOMEONE MAKE THIS HAPPEN

"just playing devils advocate but... how all of you would have reacted if the ufc offerd you the same tournament?
I think with alot of bitching... am i wrong?"
The UFC is an established and professional organization with a long history. Although they do make questionable decisions regarding bringing in fighters (Wes Sims, Elvis Sinosic, Sean Gannon, Brock Lesnar) they for the most part are a high level show with high level fighters. They do not need to make a "freak show" tournament to make money.
Elite XC is trying to make a name for itself, just like the UFC did in the early 90's.
1 night or 2?

James Thompson has signed a five fight deal EliteXC. Much rather see Thompson, Kimbo, Silva and any of the other three.
Thompson vs Silva
Kimbo vs butterbean or Tank
Kimbo vs Thompson finals not top notch mma but good slugfest
LOL hell yes I want to see this
lol @ all the dumbshits on here trying so hard to sound cool by acting like they dont wanna see this! Come on guys, I know MMA is mainstream now, and I know there are TUF noobs! And no, you do not sound like a tuf noob by wanting to watch this! Quit trying so hard to come off as a "true MMA fan"!

Well said
That'd be awesome!
Edited for thinking I was responding to someone on page one. I'd invite my mother over for this one. It sounds amazing.
