Because he sucks.

fair enough, if you watch Danas video blog Tito is all pissed off when he talks to Dana.

I'd say this is a good answer.

He said he was gassed, and per usual post fight, complained about injuries.

I haven't watched 106 yet, DLing the event and pre-lims to watch today. I was in Europe for a week and I needs mah fights. =)

Tito is just too dramatic to be that good. He was far better in the past, though. Nowadays, dude is a drama queen.

I'm looking forward to Kimbo getting a KO courtesy of the knees of Houston Alexander tonight.

Yeah how about that? I missed the first round but the second round Kimbo threw Alexander around. With the two takedowns and that suplex, somebody was getting dominated. Minus that one kick which took Kimbo down and the elbow with 10 seconds left, Alexander had nothing on Kimbo. Even after that kick, on a leg which Kimbo had been nursing, Kimbo defended himself till he could get Alexander's knee and he turned it into a takedown. He threw some huge punches when he had Alexander on the ground. Still a joke?

Kimbo did a good job last night. He still wasn't fighting a great fighter, but I think he surprised a lot of people, myself included. The first round was a joke. It was basically Houston circle the outer part of the ring with Kimbo following. Houston threw a few kicks to Kimbo's and Kimbo threw a few punches. Probably should have been a 9/9 round.

Round 2, Kimbo pretty much kicked Houston's ass. The read-naked choke attempt from the side was a bit funny, though. Haha. Still, Kimbo showed surprising improvement. Round three, like round 1, was a toss-up round.

I think Kimbo did more to win, but either guy winning 29/28 would have been fine. Not sure about 30/27, though.

That DQ of Jones was fucking retarded. Hammil was fucking done before Jones threw a 12-to-6. And then Hammil fucking QUIT! But they give him the win based on a DQ? Pffft!

Marcus Jones, while really good on the ground for a behemoth of a man, should quit fighting or seriously work on his zombie-like stand-up before he fights again. It'd be awesome if he can become a punched, but right now he just can't punch or defend from punches, and that's a bad combination in a heavyweight division. But imagine that guy with good head movement and a crisp jab followed by precision hooks. He'd be deadly! He's only been fighting for two years, so he may have time to improve. He's in his mid-30s, though, right?

And how about that ending? I think Nelson is annoying as fuck, but that fat ball of shit can fight!

Jones is 35 I think, so father time is not on his side.

Kimbo is still a joke. I can't believe all the "MMA" fans nut hugging him because he beat a 37 year old man who had been cut from the UFC.

He's a total joke. Both of the fighters looked awful and neither belong in the elite level competition found in the UFC at this point. Kimbo took out Houston, who had a flash of early brilliance in the UFC but was soon exposed to have absolutely no ground game or gas tank.

He was shipped out of the UFC and won a fight via leg kicks, which I figured he'd do against Kimbo. He tried to, but never put anything into those kicks as he had in his previous fight. He's lost his last 4/5 fights including Kimbo now.

I figured Houston would actually come out to win, and he had a completely baffling gameplan. Had he applied himself at all during the fight, particularly early on when he was fresh, he easily could have won that fight.

Kimbo won't get anywhere in the UFC unless they throw him up against extremely low level opponents such as Alexander. He's doomed to be eaten by anyone decent at 205, and fighting at HW he'd be totally outsized. He has no gas tank, he and Houston barely applied themselves and they were dying by the end of the fight. It was awful.

My friends and I had a good laugh at the fight, and were wondering what the hell was going on by the second round because it was such sloppy BS. The first 2 minutes of circling and Kimbo refusing to engage was ridiculous. Both fucking fighters refused to engage for pretty much the whole fight.

Big Country represented last night, as I thought he would. Great fight.

+1 to all of this.

Who does Big Country fight in his first real UFC fight? Do they throw him to the hounds and put him against top competition right away, or do they let him get his feet dirty and work his way up? If Lesnar comes back, does a guy like Roy stand a chance?

I love Roy but I think he'll get smothered by bigger heavyweights who have a similar skillset to his. He has the weight, but a lot of fighters are much taller than he is.

I don't really see him taking much advantage of someone like Lesnar, even though Roy has a great ground game. I think he'll win some and lose some, but he'll be around in the UFC for awhile.

Kimbo haters are just as bad. (See mirror.)

See my previous comment about Kimbo haters.

First off, the dude clearly has improved his skills. And the fact remains, he can fucking fight. He may not be a very skilled mixed martial artist, and probably never will be, but he knows how to fight.

Secondly, Houston didn't want to engage. Kimbo fought that fight near perfectly for someone still learning—and with much to learn, admittedly. He was very disciplined. He didn't throw wild punches when Houston refused to engage. He kept the fight at the center of the ring, kept his guard closed. He even showed some ground skills—and a fucking epic body slam!

Kimbo could do nothing better. Houston was running scared. Stupid fighters chase people down in situations like that. Kimbo showed far better discipline that you "MMA fans" are giving him credit for.

It's hilarious that it's Kimbo who refused to engage, when it was CLEARLY fucking Houston who was running.

so it is written, so it is done.

Kimbo is great, he beat Houston Alexander in a snooze fest where both fighters didn't want to get knocked out.

us "mma fans" are right. He is a joke. Sure, he improved on what little skills he had. But he is still a joke. Let him fight a guy who is not 37 years old and is not scared to get hit. Then you will see the real Kimbo. Oh yeah we did see that in the Seth Petruzelli fight.

You cannot even give credit where credit is due. It's pathetic. You don't have to fucking like the guy and call him great, for fuck's sake!

Considering your near 20-year history being an MMA fan, I'd think you'd be a bit more objective.

Your comments give me a headache, Anus. Back in line with the rest of the TUF noobs.



I said both fighters refused to engage.

Anyway, I've had enough Kimbo talk. He sucks, he'll be gone soon enough.

I doubt any of you did, but has anyone checked out the K-1 WGP Finals? I know Overeem made it into the quarterfinals but I haven't spoiled the results. I'm hoping he dark horsed the GP, but I doubt it. It's a super badass card, with the top names in K-1 Kickboxing punching off heads. LeBanner/Schilt/Hari/Overeem/Aerts... etc.

DLing a torrent of it now. I wish I got HDNet. >_>

Unlike Wallynuts, I have actually been watching MMA since the early 90s.


You did, but you first said this: "The first 2 minutes of circling and Kimbo refusing to engage was ridiculous." Coupled with the fact you won't even acknowledge the good things Kimbo did, simple logic says you blame him mostly for the lack of action.

In other words, you're a blind hater, just as bad as a fan-boy nut-hugger. You're just the other pole on Planet Retard.

And I say that with all due respect—which is none. Smooches.


Watch it all on mmatko.com. Listen to the announcers and their FUCKING RIDICULOUS nut-hugging of Hari. It's unreal.

By the way, I'm busting your balls. Settle down. We don't need Zad in here again.

I don't care, this is awesome.

Wow, I almost got seriously rich on this event

I only bet on four fights but I went against all the favorites. I bet on Mitrione, Kimbo, Hamill and Schaub. I knew I should have gone with Big Country! He can fight, that's for damn sure. I just wish he'd get serious and train in a real camp. I don't think he'll have much of a chance against more established, bigger heavy weights.

I thought it was a really entertaining event. I feel bad for Jones though, he DOMINATED. I doubt I'll be betting against him anytime soon.

I really enjoyed watching Kimbo fight but I can't believe Alexander was such a wuss. I expected a brawl. Kimbo surprised me in the second though, there's some skill in that old man. I doubt he'll ever be a top tier fighter but he should be entertaining going against other stand-up fighters. I don't think they'll match him against wrestlers any time soon, there's probably much money to be made in him winning.
