this is my email to jeremy lappen:

Dear Jeremy Lappen,

My name is Panama. I am one of very many MMA fans out there that love what EliteXC is doing and I am a true supporter.

I am responding to your statements on Sherdog.com's article entitled, "EliteXC Has Short List for 'Slice'" where you're quoted as saying, "“I’m not sure if that’s the fight fans want to see right now,” said Lappen following EliteXC’s second CBS-televised event Saturday.

I have to tell you that you couldn't be more wrong. Everyone wants to see Kimbo and Rogers tangle, especially after Roger's comments at the PRIMETIME post-fight press conference calling Kimbo's performance "Garbage". I have been wanting to see Kimbo vs. Rogers since the very first time I saw Rogers fight on EliteXC.

How much of a real test is this for Kimbo anyway? Rogers and Kimbo have the same exact style which is slugging. Rogers isn't a world class wrestler or striker. EliteXC needs to keep challenging Kimbo and this would be Kimbo's best test to date without over stressing him. Please consider.

Thank you for your time,

Panama
