I personally think Carano got bailed out. She should be fighting Cyborg. After Cyborg destroyed that Beszler chick, Carano got interviewed saying "Let's do this Cyborg!" Now they're not fighting

Jesse Taylor (6-3) v. Drew Fickett (35-6-0)

Taylor stops Fickett at Total Combat 32

Posted by MMAFighting.com 10/03/08—2:08 AM

"TUF 7" cast member Jesse Taylor defeated Drew Fickett via TKO in the main event of Total Combat 32 Friday at the Sycuan Casino and Resort near San Diego, California.

Taylor scored the early takedown and followed with ground and pound strikes for the referee stoppage victory at 1 minute and 42 seconds of the first round. Fickett walked away with a two-inch cut on his forehead.

Taylor was let go by the UFC after his Peruvian necktie submission loss to C.B. Dollaway at UFC Fight Night: Silva vs. Irvin on July 19. Taylor had fought for Total Combat before, in June 2007, defeating Jorge Ortiz via TKO in the second round.

Wait, so UFC dropped Jesse Taylor after his loss to CB? Jesus, I didnt think that would happen that fast, regardless of his loss of the "UFC Contract."

Apparently he made some derogatory remarks about Rampage. They were looking for any reason to get rid of him.

So heard there was a little skirmish at the Shamrock/Ferguson weigh-in...any videos? I can't find one. I think Elite is too cheap and will probably charge $5.00 to see it.

No vids so far, I'll look for some when I get home. Carano had to get naked to make weight though.

Look at Shamrock's open handed strikes. Hilarious.

Also look at how good his leg submissions were. He didn't even give his opponents a chance to tap. He'd just yank his hardest and break or tear something. Check out the one where the guy starts screaming. Shamrock's reaction is priceless.

That's Pancrase where closed fist strikes were illegal, I don't consider Pancrase MMA personally. Also, the leggings they wore (shin pads) were the perfect grips for leg locks. Ken hasn't pulled a leg lock off since back when inexperienced fighters were still fighting in the UFC, which is over 12 years of competition and 13 fights. Poor Ken really has no chance at all in this fight, but I'm still pulling for the guy.

Goodfella9783 · 10-03-2008, 10:42 PM

Good points. I figured it was some wrestling/fighting hybrid where they were using open hands.

If he threw a punch he'd probably have to surrender around 50% of his purse. At least that's how they do it in boxing.

So let me get this straight, were they to pose for pictures at that point? If so, Kimbo is such a tool. That is extremely disrespectful, the guy really needs to get knocked off his cloud if that was the case. Put him against a top 30 HW, please!

I'll second this.

Yeah he did take it damned good. Bare fisted sucker punches from a 240 LB. heavyweight and the dude doesn't even go down. Bowe won a decision.

Goodfella9783 · 10-04-2008, 02:16 PM

I'm pulling for Shamrock out of spite for EliteXC hand picking all their posterboys/girls' fights.

fufu · 10-04-2008, 03:07 PM

Me too, I want to see Shamrock crank off Kimbo's ankle resulting in multiple ligament tears in the knee.

Well, actually I'd just like to see him lose. I do think Kimbo needs a reality check though, not as harsh as I one I mentioned.

It is kind of funny that Shamrock is fighting Kimbo seeing as Bas trains Kimbo and Ken beat Bas multiple times.

Ehhh ... Bas lost twice by sub to Ken. Bas beat Frank twice and lost once. That, in my mind, makes Bas the most qualified to train Kimbo for a match vs EITHER Shamrock. Add in 23 more fights (all wins) since their last match as well as his experience as a top professional MMA trainer and Bas goes beyond the most qualified to being the only man for the job.

I'm all Kimbo on this one. I like Shamrock. I respect his skill level, and I see that these two fighters are in two very different classes and pedigrees, but Kimbo adds a dimension to MMA that was not here before ... i.e. brawler/boxer goes serious with his training to truly fight in MMA, not just toss bombs and hope he scores a KO (like Tank). Yeah yeah yeah, we've had fighters do this, but not with as solid of a street fighting pedigree. Kimbo was a serious money making professional non-sanctioned street fighter. Remember, Kimbo's pre-MMA street fights were all NO MMA style fighting allowed. It was all about stand up and swing for the fences 'til someone gets KTFO. Now he's out there training for sub's, take-downs, and MMA style striking.

I hope Kimbo fucks Shamrock up with some kinda sic take down followed by serious g&p, or even better ... a sub.

I wasn't implying Bas wasn't a good person to have as a trainer, I just think it is funny.

If Kimbo's last fight is any indicator, his ground game probably is going to be way worse than Ken's. His ground skills in the last fight were laughable.

I just hope we don't see two gassed guys drooling all over each other to a decision or a shitty TKO.

TrojanMan60563 · 10-04-2008, 05:07 PM

Striking game Kimbo....if this goes to the ground Ken is going to show him a thing or two. Ken is a has been, but his ground skills make Kimbo look like a noob. Ken cannot stand up with Kimbo...but on the ground Ken is going to dominate!

The only way this fight will get to the ground is if Kimbo pulls guard.

ReproMan · 10-04-2008, 07:02 PM

So much for tonight's main event!!

Exclusive: Shamrock Injured, Tonight's Main Event In Jeopardy - MMARated.com

Quote:

UPDATE #2: They skipped the Petruzelli vs. Rosa fight. This might mean that Petruzelli is replacing Shamrock after all.

UPDATE: We are now hearing that EliteXC officials may have found a doctor who may clear Shamrock tonight after all. EliteXC may be on the verge of dodging a bullet of epic proportions. Stay tuned...

MMARated.com has learned from several very reliable sources that Ken Shamrock sustained a cut above his eye in the last 24 hours while training and WILL NOT be fighting in tonight's main event bout against Kimbo Slice.

EliteXC officials are scrambling to find a last minute replacement for Shamrock. Amazingly, we have heard that Shamrock's brother, Frank, who is calling the event for CBS, offered to step in at the last minute but is ultimately not fighting. EliteXC has offered Slice a last-minute replacement in the form of Seth Petruzelli. Petruzelli was scheduled to fight Aaron Rosa tonight.

As of right now, Kimbo has yet to officially accept the fight.

More as we hear it.

fufu · 10-04-2008, 07:06 PM

Fucking A, what the hell is wrong with EliteXC. Well, I know why, but christ!!!

Well, it doesn't really matter. It didn't deserve to be a main event anyway. I'll admit I got drawn in by the freak show fight.

fufu · 10-04-2008, 07:07 PM

btw, I'll be in the chat room during the fights if anyone wants to chit chat between rounds.
