I wasn't 100% but thought I read this somewhere. Elite XC was a great show, brilliant fights, but the Kimbo stoppage was BS. No fault of Kimbo or Thompson, who put on a great fight, but that was a terrible stoppage. Thompson had a cauliflower ear, big deal! He'd just fought for two whole rounds and deserved as much chance was Kimbo was given when being elbowed in the head for two minutes!
I guess you get far worse from judges and referees in boxing but I hoped that MMA, in its biggest mainstream show, would prove it is far less shady than boxing - a bit of a wasted opportunity.
Shaw still promotes boxing.
shaw = making me sick.
But then again so does BLAF
