Kimbo is being trained by Bas Rutten..that's enough for me to say he's coachable, passionate, and going to be someone..someday. He's still a brawler and i can't quite tell the diff between now and when he was streetfighting, but there are a few minor tweaks i've seen. i think his last fight against bo cantrell was a complete gimme, especially with that Ear...that was nasty..but i think he'll be tested more than people give credit by shammyboy. It just depends on which shamrock comes.
Elitexc is a bit of a freakshow type organization at the moment, sadly. they have a good women's division, but they give curano a lot of scrubs/less than impressive fighters and she misses weight constantly. That said, she's highly entertaining and draws a great crowd. She's also fun to talk to on myspace, so add her
either way, it's good for the sport bc it's starting to get some mainstream appeal and they are showing how it's safer than most people realize. It's not up to ufc level in production terms, but it's very watchable. Check wikipedia on elitexc to see the newest fight card. Andrei aarlovski will be performing and i'm anticipating that match more than most
