Kimbo has just a few fights under his belt ..demoloshing an old Tank abbot but is seen as still too new in the sport to be leading fighter on a major television network. The UFC tried to deal but they are so stubborn a deal couldnt be reached. So enter Elite Xc. Some excellent fighter including Robbie Lawler...ALso Gina Carrano, female American Gladiator, tries to go for a sixth straight victory. This is my favorite sport in the world and if you like fights you ll llove MMA.
THe top dog promotion wise is UFC. It used to be PRide until UFC bought them. So now there are a lot of smaller promotions all over vying for their piece of the pie....Enjoy the show!!!
Oh yeah and remember the angel who wrestled whats his name for 7 hours in the Bible...well he never got arm barred, neck cranked, or rear naked choked...and thats all i gotta say about that.
