Elite XC protects Kimbo again

[HuntersCreed]

Can you blame them? They don't have as many money making faces as the UFC. They've got to protect what they've got.

Kimbo is just a big guy with heavy hands, I really don't see him being anything more then that.

It's amazing how much Elite XC is blatantly protecting their poster boy. They know without him they pretty much have no draw to the noob MMA fans and vet fans know their talent isn't on par with other orgs. Brett Rogers is undefeated, but hasn't beaten any high level talent. Shows how highly they think of Kimbo.

Are you fucking retarded or just 13? Companies in their infancy rarely put their most valuable asset at risk. Why don't you idiots understand that this is a business?

that's cool... just don't bullshit everyone by saying it's not what the fans want... be honest... or at least blame someone else for giving him cans... not us.

perhaps we can send EliteXC and Lappen a mass email demanding Kimbo vs. Rogers. I want to see that fight. How the hell does he know what fans dont want to see? he should do a poll.

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

watch as elitexc signs somebody like KIMO to fight kimbo next. so that they can claim he destroyed a ufc legend and hall of famer.

They should just make it happen and get it over with. They're a perfect matchup at this point in time. Anyways Rogers aint close to being a Fedor and Kimbo stands a good chance anyways. He has to lose sometime.
