Kimbo Slice, James Thompson EliteXC

Kimbo Slice vs. James Thompson the headlining event for EliteXC on CBS tonight. The first ever main event to be broadcast on National Television. “Saturday Night Fights” will air tonight on CBS at 9PM EST.

Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson (2-0) will be taking on James “The Colossus” Thompson (14-8). There is big debate on whether this fight is even worthy of being a main event. For a start Kimbo has only ever been in 2 professional fights and hasn’t really proved himself to the MMA world as of yet. Secondly people believe that James Thompson was specifically chosen because of his weak chin.

Can Kimbo finish this fight as quick as his other two?

He definitely can! James Thompson has an incredibly weak chin. Combine that with Kimbo’s huge striking power and I think fans are going to be seeing a fight ending with a KO in the first round, maybe even the first two minutes.

Kimbo has been training with Bas Rutten

Thats right Kimbo is being trained by one of the greatest heavyweights in the MMA world, Bas Rutten (28-4-1). Both Bas and Kimbo seem to be getting on heres a quote from Kimbo about Bas:

“Bas is the man. You know what I’m saying? Can’t get a better trainer, a better coach a better adviser of the sport and of the game. I mean he explains everything to me why. And to my knowledge I can pick it up better. I can understand the cause and the effect of everything, and I wouldn’t want to change that.”

I see this fight going only one way…

…and that is in the favor of Kimbo Slice. He is too powerful for James Thompson. I believe a better opponent could of been picked for Kimbo but I guess you don’t want to show up your top guy the first time you get on national TV.
