Is MMA to harsh for network tv ?
Hell NO it isn't! If they show football, boxing, WCL (Chuck Norris' promototion), and not to mention all the movies and tv shows and are downright phucked up !
Rampage Jackson HILARIOUS on Jimmy Kimmell, disses Forrest
I remember when Jimmy Kimmell interviewed Tank Abbot and Kimbo Slice. Jimmy spoke with disrespect and an overall lame comedic performance. However, Kimmell did good with Quinton Jackson. Actually Quinton straight up whipped some late night show ass! Now let's see Forrest Griffin on soon. Quinton dissed Forrest for having big ears, cheap shot but its Quinton Jackson we're talkin about, not Randy Couture or someone with true class and is modest.
Espn MMA LIVE Episode 4 REVIEW !
Why when they show the CroCop clips dont they show kicks in Eddie Sanchez' head? No they show him not doing any striking. Cmon..When you show Hughes' clips, its of him whoopin ####. The UFC slanting the show again. Just because CroCop is fighting for a different promotion doesn't mean that you cant show him positively. Its about promoting all the fighters, especially the ones that you are reporting about at that time.Hard core fans can see this in a heartbeat. That really blows and establishes mistrust. Also, maybe tell your guests to get interviewed on a web cam. Its not that hard and the MMA LIVE fans are computer people and will not mind the lower quality video. Atleast we could see Hughes and Urijah....One more things, why not replace the name of the tap out segment, as..."PREDICTIONS". The name tapout for that segment just doesnt make any sense. But I understand why you do it, but still even thats not a good enough reason. Thanks again for the best show and production out of all the mma news shows.
I disagree with both Kenny and the other correspondent in regards to Kimbo. Yea Kimbo showed that he was inexperienced at times, but he was throwing many serious punches to Josh, so much you were waiting to see the final blow to take him out, lol. But that didnt happen, big deal, he still showed that he can throw bombs. Plus he tried twice to take Thompson down by a choke. He also rolled Thompson over off his back. Either way, you can always sense the UFC proganda, and thats a bummer to know your news will be a little slanted. Kenny is obviously pitchin lol but its all good...For example, he never mentions that Kimbo was outweighed by 25 pounds, or that it was only Kimbo's 3rd fight. How would Kenny's performance change if he was fighting a 185er when he's at 155?
Thanks ESPN, but the segment intros are a little lame, should go straight into the news to keep up the quality 'flow' that the host just established. I understand its like a quick little 'education or lesson for new brand spankin new MMA fans. Just some feedback fellas. To the viewers, what do you all think? AND REGISTER TO ESPN !! ! ! That being said, Clay Guida, Michael Bisping, Cheick Kongo, and Diego Sanchez are a few of the fighters that have authorized us to exclusively sell posters of them ! We are fighter oriented, not 'brand' orientated. Please stop by and support these up and comers! www.MmaFanGear.com Mahalo and thanks for the GREATEST show in MMA !

BJ Penn: "If guys are cheating, maybe there should be two divisions."
As we we previously reported, BJ Penn with face Joe Stevenson for the "interim" UFC lightweight title at UFC 80. He is looking to become only the second fighter ever to hold titles at two different weight classes, Randy Couture being the oter. Penn recently sat down with the The Honolulu Advertiser to discuss his upcoming fight, Sean Sherk and steroids.
Penn On Training For His Upcoming Fight With Joe Stevenson:
I was training hard all this time, but it was tough to get motivated not knowing what was going on. At least now I know I have to get ready for Stevenson if I want that belt. Stevenson is good all-around. He'll come in shape, so I have to be at my best. I'm expecting a good fight.""He deserves a shot. I have nothing bad to say about the guy.
Penn On Sean Sherk:
I was told four different times that it was going to be on with Sherk, and it got pushed back every time. I'm just happy they set something else up. I was getting tired of waiting. If he did win the belt by cheating, that's ridiculous. But he's the one who has to live with it. Just like bodybuilding. If guys are cheating, maybe there should be two divisions.
Penn went on to joke that his upcoming interim fight with Joe Stevenson is for the "natural" lightweight title.
