I agree that the reffing in the Kimbo fight was sketchy, but there have also been similar instances of questionable judgment calls over stoppages even in UFC fights.

I was explaining how others might feel. I personally liked the show and thought the card was good with the exception of the Kimbo fight. I watch fighting everyday and I dont care who puts on the show. Hell I even watch Bodog and it has horrific production value. I also think the world should not be duped into believing these guys are the top fighters in the world. It makes me laugh that Kimbo and champion is ever mentioned in the same sentence. Its also pretty that every ref last night making the bad calls were UFC refs. Kimbo should NOT have been the last fight of the night no matter what. Disrespecting two very good fighters competing for a the belt for two very green fighters is bad IMO.
