Kimbo Loses
Was it a set up?
Kimbo Slice lost his last MMA fight in an incredible 14 seconds. Some people never thought Kimbo deserved to be in the octagon in the first place but I doubt anyone saw this defeat coming the way it did.
Count me in with the others who think something was just too screwy with that whole fight. First Shamrock not being allowed to fight and then Kimbo going down so quickly. I don't know if it was a set up but I sure didn't like the way things went down. Something just doesn't feel right about the situation.

Kimbo Slice Fights In Primetime On CBS
EliteXC's Saturday Night Fights
While some people don't think Kimbo Slice should be headlining EliteXC's Saturday Night Fights, Kimbo is probably the most popular MMA fighter and his name alone will draw viewers.
Right now "Kimbo Slice" is hot on Google trends and probably will remain there for hours. CBS knew what they were doing when they chose to make him their big draw.
Kimbo will be fighting James Thompson. Unless Thompson wins don't expect his popularity to sky rocket from this fight.
However CBS is giving the sport of MMA a huge boost, I expect thousands of new fans after the May 31st fights air.
