That was the worst Co-Main and Main Event in MMA history.

Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but nothing else is coming to mind.

It's not uncommon for a card to have a terrible fight, and it's quite bad when one of the main events to be one of those terrible fights, but both of the Co-Main and Main Event being that terrible, and both qualifying to be two of the worst fights ever.... this is beyond bad, it's beyond terrible, it just may be the worst Co-Main and Main Event in one card in MMA history.

If Bellator keeps this shit up, there's going to be serious accusations of fixing fights, but even most fixed fights try to put up more of a show than that.

But the funny thing is, that there were no real losers in the cage last night. All of the participants in the cage were paid, quite well. The losers were the fans that were suckered into tuning in and wasting their time, and the idiots that paid good money for tickets... especially the ones that paid good money for cage-side seats.
 
I don't know if it was the worst, but it was pretty awful.
 
pretty sure the last thing anyone is going to accuse bellator of is fight fixing. if you wanted to fix a fight, you'd make it good.
 
In the grand scheme of things, who cares. Bellator wanted ratings and by the look of the fucking threads getting created every 10 min over a card that "sucked," they got exactly what they sought out to achieve.

Did anyone truly think it wasnt going to be awful? I watched it here n there while playing the original Borderlands for the 3rd time. Thats how much I cared.
 
I don't think anyone honestly saw Kimbo vs. Dada going to rd. 3.
 
They should put the fights in dufferent cards IMO
One freakshow per event is the most we should have
I think it was because one of the 4 oldies could have pulled out of his fight for an injury or nap

Supposedly.

Perhaps the combatants get paid the same, reguardless of the flash of the fight.

Or, it could be 'These fights are so terrible, they're not eve try to make these fixed fights look real. Therefore, they're real.'
 
No, It is supposed to be for entertainment. The fight Kimbo - Dada was fun to me.
 
Kimbo vs Dada was probably the worst fight I've ever seen in my life, but I am so happy I got to witness it. I feel like I did right after Quarry vs Starnes. I love good fights but when something is so shockingly awful that it becomes that funny... That only happens once every five years or so. Maybe even longer.

Magic happened last night.

Hell no, not when Kimbo was gassed after doing nothing in mount for two minutes in the first round.

"Both fighters need to be helped off the stool to start the third round."

I actually thought one of them would just fail to answer the bell for the third.
 
I was entertained and so were allot of others. It is still providing entertainment today. The main event wasn't bad .. Royce looked decent all things considered and we didn't get to see much from Ken because the fight ended too soon because of a low blow. Can't help but feel bad for Ken shamrock.

Tyson and his bugs bunny reference .... the promo commercials guy voice / tone sounded like a monster truck promo... Dada comment on Slice not being able to read ... Then the fight itself ... winner by exhaustion ... Kimbo Slice.

The finish looked funny becaus the last two shots didn't land. The one before those two did. This event will be remembered and talked about more than allot of other events including ones UFC have put on.
