JT is ABLE to fight in that condition and still KO people. See Frye fight. The stoppage was BS because the fight was fixed.

These are the times that I wish guys like Shaw had the balls to come on a forum like this and witness what an actual fan thinks of this garbage they tried to pass off as legit MMA.

Thompson could have hit kimbo WAY harder with those elbows he was dropping it seemed to me. Seemed like he didn't want to end the fight. might have been payed who knows but the ref was certainly given some clearcut instruction. We've seen fights get stood up often though all over for inactivity, still rarely if ever from sidemount....

If they would just let it go...let's the fights shake out how they shold, the integrity of the sport and the organization would go a long way towards serving their goals...making $$$$$

Add that for the last couple minutes of the second the ref was constantly warning Thompson to be more active or he'll stand them up... while he was working Kimbo into a crucifix and dropping repeated elbows at will! Are you kidding me????

the entire night was an embarrassment from top to bottom.
nights like this will not help the sport one bit.
as for kimbo, the joke is up. he'll never be a dominant heavyweight, period. the end.
