True the Lawler fight shouldn't have been stopped. he said he wanted to go on, but they also said he told them he couldn't see. He should have been given the full five minutes before any stoppage.
The Corano fight was entertaining, but she was slow and you could tell she was a little out of shape and not at her best. Still, I had never seen a girls MMA fight before so it was something new to me.
The other fights (not including kimbos) were way too onesided and it seemed like it was just one guy trying not to get killed to fast. The kimbo fight started out interesting with him getting taken down and showing some of his strength, but by round 2 both guys were so out of gas that it got sloppy and kind of lame. Kimbo clearly needs to work on his cardio and ground game if he wants to really compete at anything more than an exhibition level. I think elite XC is probably not happy with that fight at all. I think they wanted Kimbo to come in and knock him out in the first round, but Thomson came to fight and wasn't intimidated. It looked like neither was in very good shape though because in the second round they both looked like they were ready to pass out.
