  He would've won, had he fought Shamrock, who has an AARP card and lost 7 of his last 8 matches. This is why you don't stake your business on a circus act. It's over now. He just got KO'd by a jab from a guy 30 pounds lighter who's only notable win is over another AARP card holder, Dan Severn.

I missed my womans fight. Been waiting months for that and of course we catch a bs call that lasted just long enough to miss her entire fight.

Just goes to show the difference between someone who'a a decent fighter at the amatuer level and a good fighter at the professionel. Also, anybody can look like an outstanding fighter when they have some skill and all their amatuer opponents have none.

He was all hype, and he's too old to learn any martial arts that might make him competitive.

That being said... you couldn't pay me enough to let him punch me 

[DiabloTX]

Hype...ain't it a beotch.

The hype-monster got beaten by a TUF runner-up. The only surprising aspect here is how desperate the media-potatos wanted this guy to be the next big thing. I guess legit world-class Black fighters like Rampage Jackson and Anderson Silva were just too nice to be their darlings, not nearly offensive enough, they wanted MMA fandom to be worshiping an out-and-out thug. EliteXC got what they deserved.

Looks like an honest fighting error that cost him the fight. Happens to everyone.

Kimbo "lost" due to an illegal blow at 0:07 (clubbing blow to the back of the head)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qekdLpSXOfc&feature=related

The initial punch thrown by Petruzelli was inconsequential - he was standing on one leg, leaning backwards, and did, what is called in boxing, an "arm punch".  Because the rest of the body is not behind it, arm punches have near zero power, and are certainly not capable of knocking anyone out.

Now Kimbo did throw himself into the arm punch somewhat, but I do not believe that it was a knockout blow because he held himself up quite well on all fours when he went down (he clearly was not out).

What took him out of the fight was the big chop to the back of the head at 0:07 when he was completely vulnerable, down on all fours - I checked the rules of this organization, and that was a flagrant foul.

In short the fight was a fluke loss - caused by an ignored foul.

Not a fan of MMA stuff (old time boxing fan - no longer) - saw the link here - watched the videos - I really don't care for the sport or either fighter... just saying.

This is what happens when MMA is brought down to the same level as the WWF.
Fighters are replaced with actors for the bucks, promoters line their pockets and everything else goes into the crapper.

I dont see how they call it "mixed martial arts"
All it is, is street fighting.

Chit. Thats the style we used back in the 70's on the streets of New Brunswick where I grew up.

The only difference is in this they dont kick him in the face while wearing boots when he's down like we did.

All in all I've been completely unimpressed with the sport.
Every time I watch it. I get that "Been there. Done that" feeling.  ::shrug::
