For a guy who was supposed to be destroying Ken Shamrock, facing a new opponent may need a bit of an adjustment, but Kimbo was definitely not ready for Seth Petruzellij. Not only Kimbo lost, he got embarrassed. He lost in 14 seconds to a never has been. Seth is a good fighter, but he is not Andrei Arlovski or Fedor, so losing to him in 14 seconds shows why MMA fans are complaining about the hype around Kimbo.

But Kimbo’s reputation as a humble guy who loves MMA is also in jeoprady after he and his folks asked for more money to fight against Seth. Didn’t he say to ESPN folks that he is not after money but he loves MMA? What happened Kimbo? I guess he knows that Elite XC won’t be able to last forever so he is trying to earn as much money as he can. He will still make big money after this fight. Elite XC will probably try to hand Ken to him and use him as a stepping stone for Kimbo to get back. But this is all a sham, and Kimbo should either train harder or look for another line of work. He is too old for this sport, and a couple of bad losses can really end his career. He can beat tomato cans, but can he get good enough to challenge the top guys?

So much for Ken Shamrock putting a beating on Kimbo. He couldn’t even make it to the cage as he was disqualified for a cut that was opened on hi left eye in a training session right before the fight. This is extremely frustrating for the fans who wanted to see Kimbo get somewhat of a challenge in Ken. But it seems Ken should hang up his gloves as he is clearly not ready to fight professionally.

To be honest, I am not sure it will be. Brock and Randy are great for UFC. They are big names, and they will draw a huge crowd. But at the end of the deal, this fight is more about the business of it all and not really about the quality of fight. Brock and Randy are both wrestlers and history has shown that we often get boring fights when two people with similar styles clash.

Brock does have size and age to his advantage but I am still not sure on his submission defense. Not that Randy is a submission expert but he has a lot more years on Brock, and somethings take time to learn and submission defense is one of them.

The highly anticipated match between Mirko Cro Cop and Overeem ended as anticlimaticly as you can put it as Overeem’s knee to Mirko’s groin pretty much knocked him out for good. The fight was called a no-contest for the illegal blow but Overeem should be disappointed as he was winning the fight very easily. But this guy will be a monster in the years to come. Hopefully we will see him in the UFC down the road with Fedor.
