"Kimbo" vs. James Thompson at May 31 EliteXC-CBS?
by MMAjunkie.com Staff [mmajunkie-staff] on Mar 30, 2008 at 2:16 pm in - News -

The very first MMA event to appear on major U.S. network television will feature a main event with Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson (2-0).

Unfortunately, EliteXC never announced his opponent at Saturday's co-promoted show with Strikeforce, which took place at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif. The announcement was expected to be made at the event, but instead, Ferguson was called to the cage for a general introduction.

However, according to one report, James Thompson (14-8) could be the guy to face Ferguson in May.

The May 31 EliteXC event takes place at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. and airs in Saturday primetime on CBS.

According to fiveouncesofpain.com, a rumored bout with Ron Waterman (15-5-2) never materialized because a deal couldn't be worked out. Instead, Thompson -- a British fighter who's lost six of his past eight fights -- appears to be the leading candidate.

Ferguson, who rose to fame as underground fighter marketed on YouTube and other video-sharing sites, has since teamed up with Bas Rutten to train MMA. After an exhibition victory over Ray Mercer, Ferguson posted a 19-second TKO of Bo Cantrell and a 43-second KO of David "Tank" Abbott. Both fights took place with EliteXC, with whom Ferguson has signed a long-term contract.

Also slated to take place at the May 31 event is a EliteXC middleweight championship bout between title-holder Robbie Lawler and Scott Smith. Additionally, Phil Baroni meets Murilo "Ninja" Rua, and Tom Murphy takes on Brett Rogers. In women's action, Gina Carano is expected to meet Kaitlin Young.

this shit is a joke. ive said it b4 i liked kimbo as an internet fighter, but if he's steppin into mma he has to step his game up to show he's the real deal. ray mercer a joke. bo cantrell, a joke who took the fight on short notice. tank abbot, a joke who lived off the hype of a few ko's. look at his mma record its like 8-15 or some shit like that. thompson is a glass jawed fighter. like these other dudes kimbo has faught, they know how to throw haymakers, but probably lack the power to put him down. the only chance this dude has is to take it to the floor. kimbo has squandered chances to round out his mma skills in the ring. against tank he should of worked on what he's trained on, but instead he's content with knocking him out. the sad part is even tank was able to take him to the ground. elite xc can not be taken as a serious mma company if this is who they are putting at the forefront. seriously this is a history making event for mma and thats the fight they are putting out. the ufc put out some quality shit with fight night live and tuf series 7 today

that was a dope fight. i was thinking about liddel goading kimbo. maybe its a ploy to either get a intercompany mega fight or to get kimbo to move to the ufc to prove himself. prolly just a reach but why would he go out of his way to bring up a rookie in the mma game

thats all if kimbo even makes it to the ufc which i think dana should take a look at him they just lost tim sylvia and randy couture and andrei arlovski might leave theyre in need of heavy weights and kimbo is a big money draw
