Surprised starBucks isn't on here claiming Kimbo is the best fighter in the last 50 years.

:slappy: I feel worse for Bas. He's been training with this guy and vouching for him, and he looked absolutely pathetic on the ground and his stamina makes B.J. Penn's look good.

I am not surprised he hasn't posted since the fight. What can he really say? Last night Kimbo disproved everything Starbucks had been saying about Kimbo. Nothing to argue really, Kimbo has little stamina and zero ground game.

I am sure it worked as far as getting Joe-everybody to think about watching MMA, but like you said as a "purist" I think it was garbage. Too much of this mysterious stoppage crap, and as much as I love watching scantily clad women dance, it lends no positive impact to the fights. Watch the WEC tonight, you will be impressed with Faber/Pulver...hopefully.

Yeah, we seem to agree here. Looking forward to Faber in a few minutes.

Agreed. It may have suceeding in getting some new viewers, but from what I have read and heard, I excpect them to lose many more viewers for the bullshit that was last night's event. Although this may have been good in getting exposure for MMA, it was a terrible night for the Elite XC org.

If I wanted to expose someone to MMA I would show them old PRIDE Grand Prix and Bushido's.

Agreed, XC down, but MMA overall probably up.

General question from a newbie here intended for all: who are generally considered the best fighters (or couple of fighters) in each of the weight classes? Any help would be great, thanks.

Edit: One more question -- can anybody give me some more info. on this Russian guy, Emelianenko?

Fedor? All you need to know is he is a bad motherfucker. Youtube him and you can watch him destroy people. Or check his wikipedia page for some more info, cause I'm not sure what all you want to know.
