sportsfan41 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Is anyone else planning to watch any of these fights tonight? Been thinking about it and between the cost of gas and food rising. CBS could be make a really good move for their ratings with Saturday night fights, especially if they could get some decents fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfback20 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I'll be watching, but not for the Main event of Kimbo vs Thompson. That will most likely end with Kimbo beating Thompson via murder :lol:. Thompson is awful. I'm more excited about Scott Smith vs. Robbie Lawler for the EliteXC middleweight championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEXT Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Yea I just want to see some decent fights. Was kinda surprised when I saw there was a female fight too. You will see some entertaining fighters for sure, Baroni, Lawler, and both female fighters are very good at stand up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear, I'm hoping they'll put it on up at Willies sports bar by my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMA is on the rise and can no longer be considered a "fad". While I do enjoy a good night of Boxing, nothing tops a good night of MMA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfback20 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I'm watching the live stream online... Wilson Reis just beat Justin Robbins via rear naked choke. Reis was impressive and showed some very good jiu jitsu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a boxing fan as well, but boxing is no where near the level of excitement found in an MMA bout. Combining boxing, kickboxing, jiu jitsu, American wrestling, judo, sambo, and any other fighting style creates very exciting fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
