The fights this season have been trainwrecks for the most part, last night's by far the worst of all, and it's all I can do to make it through half the drama-infested editing before they even happen. |
Thats exactly what it seems like. Stacked it with jabronis and a few names to get some ratings, all set up for Kimbo to win it. But I dont think they expected Roy Nelson to be Kimbo's first opponent. Rashad is just too good with the fight selection, he knows what Rampage guys weaknesses are and puts one of his guys that can exploit it. Hits the bullseye every time. Too bad the fights couldnt have gone like this:
Wes Simms/Roy Nelson
Kimbo Slice/Matt Mitrione
Scott Junk vs Justin Wren
Would have made for much more entertaining fights i think.
