cch5432 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I am sitting here right now with Jason Williams, former NBA player and the guy who helped produced this event. Any questions for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newarkcatholicfan Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Here in Columbus area we are not getting the fights we are stuck with the chilren's miracle network. Almost as bas as getting stuck watching the Browns every Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfback20 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I am sitting here right now with Jason Williams, former NBA player and the guy who helped produced this event. Any questions for him? Did they hire someone from the WWE to help produce this event? Because it feels like I'm watching wrestling at this point. Also, why not make Scott Smith vs Robbie Lawler the main event? It's a title fight with two good fighters, not a fight with an unproven street fighter vs a guy who could get KO'd in his sleep. Also, we're 25 minutes in and we haven't seen a fight yet, what gives?

When will we see Slice go up against Brock Lesner(sp) or a fighter who isn't a has been or a never was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesnar is in the UFC right now, so until Kimbo moves on from EliteXC or Brock gets released from the UFC, we wont' see that. Plus, that would be a terrible fight for Kimbo. Brock would take him down and dominate him on the ground IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newarkcatholicfan Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 A lot like this fight won't be very good being the guy he is going up against has shown little in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfback20 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Quick KO in the first fight. I thought initially that the ref stopped it too fast and didn't give Murphy enough time to recover... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am too scared to ask most of those questions. I will ask about WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to ask any of those...:lol: I'm just a little disappointed with the production of this event thus far. They're making it seem like wrestling. They have dancers, and rappers... I'm a fight fan. I'm watching this for the fights, not for the rappers, dancers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newarkcatholicfan Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Maybe CBS in Columbus did us a favor by not airing this because it sounds a little WWE like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfback20 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Maybe CBS in Columbus did us a favor by not airing this because it sounds a little WWE like. It is. Phil Baroni came out with a red robe on and was walked to the cage by a bunch of women, literally. It feels like I'm watching Monday Night Raw, with real fighting. Although the fights have been a little odd too. Seems like the refs are eager to top the fights... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfback20 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Great, now we move on to the first ever womens MMA fight I will have ever seen. I'm not too interested in this fight. I'm actually looking forward to the Lawler/Smith fight, and am kind of anxious to see how fast Kimbo KO's Thompson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cch5432 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Jason admits they put a nobody against Kimbo so he wins. They will do so for the next 2-3 fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cch5432 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 He also said that if it were not on a network, obviously they would let them fight a lot longer than letting these fights end so quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
