EliteXC: Kimbo Slice vs James Thompson | May 31, 2008 

legit was showing my friend Kimbo today RIP

Never! we all miss this man!.. he proved that a street fighter can run with the big guys if he gets a bit of training! people underestimate guys like him .. and now they wont.. rip kimbo

I'm so glad he was included in the UFC 5 game.

I still watch his old videos fights

❤❤❤❤I still do too you not the only one nopppppeeee long live SLICE

everyone can see it in Thompson's eyes and the commentators eyes apparently.. they cannot believe that Kimbo and black homeless man has made it here, little did they know he is going to not only obliterate thompson but make him look like a fajjot LMAO. It all down hill for wasps, pretty hilarious .

For real

Lenda viva ? Ele não morreu ? Ele é uma lenda, mas ele já morreu.

I'm homeless living in a Nissan right now.. maybe I do have a chance in life

Much Respect

True that

Kid look at his ears he won't fall

He is really strong but no technique

@@starquick-ee7oq He cant win every fight lil bro.

@@TheeMostDangerousOne cannot win but he survived, look at Francis slept like a woman

Dudes a beast

This ❤ RIP

Cuidemos de nossa saúde enquanto podemos, se não, quando o corpo manda a conta talvez não tenhamos o suficiente para repará-lo. Kimbo Slice um dos maiores campeões que tivemos.

Enjoyed him while he did

Fuck yeah bro that’s the truth. Love from Australia

Either that or having his ear completely ripped off.

@@TheRealSwissballhis ear was falling off during walkouts. Terrible stoppage.

The REF SAYS, “your ears Fkn falling off…”

You could see on his bodylanguage that it was a good time to stop, he was out of it.

he was like that for like a round and a half idk how he stayed standing

If you ever wondered what a fake fight looks like, you just watched one.

@@tomjones4835find better thing to do wit your time bro

Thompson won that fight near the end of the 2nd round. Kimbo could not intelligently defend himself.

@@NativeBoyTX I think what he meant was that seeing someone like Kimbo become successful in life despite coming from terrible circumstances gave hope to regular everyday people. It's not about knowing Kimbo personally.

Cowboys about to tear your team up on Thanksgiving 🤠🤠🤠🤠

LETS GO COWBOYS

"When 2 bums fight over a winter blanket" "Words of Master Gene Lebell" not mine. RIP Master Gene Lebell

Lame as fuck James won

😂😂😂

He was probably thinking, "that looks like a tasty morsel...." whilst licking those lips...

😂😂

😂

😂😂😂😂😂

Thanks for the translation I would’ve never known but holy that white guy looks like he has some brain damage maybe a good stoppage

😂

Kimbo was a beast 💯 RIP

Legend

Ppl saying bad stoppage Thompson rocked with his hands down and ear falling off: 😯

Oh yes

Don't do steroids, kids

@@_GOD_HAND_ This. His heart was probably twice the size it should've been

@@deadguysuperstar Yeah it's amazing how these super jacked guys always discover they have a "congenital heart defect" somewhere between age 35-40. What a coincidence.

Кимбо конечно был настоящий боец, но химия присутствовала и наверняка бесконтрольно , ну и укоротила жизнь бойца. Химия коварный убийца.

Prob best of all time😂

That was beyond a big colleflower ear

He almost knocked his ear off his grill

These commentators were mad

Dude’s ear looked like it was hanging by a thread. Like low hanging fruit, kinda like the ripe mangoes 🥭 on a mango tree…

That's not a good fact to know thanks

Sad fact

Вид у него был больного человека!

I don't know about the fun part tho

@@chickenwitrice761 true should have just put fact

Kimbo, tank Abbott, Don the predator frye. Are three men that I would expect to be get in a fight in a bar and emerged victorious even though it's several on one. Tank Abbott once said when I'm done with the fight win lose or draw I go home and drink a beer my opponent goes to the hospital. When kimbo was young he dropped bombs, the first few fights in tank average career he didn't even break a sweat man he connect with one punch and it was enough to rock them or drop them. Don Frye said where is our Putin. He said the way this country is now we're being left at home and she carry purses and wear a wig he said they're turning us into sissies. That's called being a badass and not caring if you offend someone else.

Are steroids natural?

@@Irons365 Yall so worried abt roids.

Or early 2000s pride

Or being yellow bones and dust in the ground

Oh yea

He could've waited till he fell to the floor but it was over Kimbo was still in the middle of his combo he just saved Thompson some damage imo

The commentators definitely had bets on Thompson saying it was stopped early, dude was near death.

Kimbo was making him make some crazy looking faces.

Yeah you will be lights out good night from that combo but he ate them to the chin like breakfast

he had cauliflower ear, who cares if it "exploded". wasn't affecting his performance and looked worse than it was

Legend

may be it acts as a shock absorber like an airbag 😅

they zoomed all in on it and everything hahahahahha

Exactly,rugby players are the same they just leave them🤷🏻‍♂️why

it'll just get messed up again

@thesquad2253 no..for the fight..cauliflower ear refills after awhile when drained but in his case its a huge target and ultimately lost the fight for him

All day, that's what makes KIMBO a Legend, went in MMA as an older adult did not start amateur MMA like many in Teens.....and yet he Blew up....almost like a Tyson.....just a gut rom the street trying to make it and he did !!!

(Respectfully to Kimbo) It still should of been stopped. The thumbs up was only for a few seconds Kimbo was in the pinned up position for over a minute any other fight would of been stopped

Thanks for remembering Archie...! He was an amazing man...and had great heart...! (Not to mention that he refused to compromise his values which to me is extremely important.)

Kimbo is one of my favorite fighting stories. Check out his Fight Lore, it’s absolutely FANTASTIC. Learning combat sports is the greatest thing a man can do for himself. It doesn’t matter where you’re from, it doesn’t matter what you look like it’s all about what’s in your head and what’s in your chest.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lol

Needs an unbreakable, titanium ear bone if you ask me

I think he was decent at mma and was thrown to pretty experienced fighters.

Bro would be dead if the ref didn't stop the fight

I too, he has very weak strikes, but almost got success with really fine wrestling. This guy really needed a win.

Dude would’ve lost his ear if he didn’t

He lost, fair and square. At that point, he was barely protecting his head, and got punched 3-4 times in a row. That “look” on his face was the very last bit of his consciousness before being knocked out.

Ehh, not that bad of an injury to fight with, obviously if it’s even touched it hurts like hell but it’s not something that poses a whole lot of danger to someone’s career

Fighters fight with cauliflower ears all the time. They've never not allowed someone to fight because of a cauliflower ear. It's a normal injury especially in training.

@@notthed0d791 I'm assuming it's an injury you do have?

@@TonyTee79 : Yes but not with a fresh cauliflower ear dangling by the side of the guy's head. Fighting with a recent injury like that only insures that the fight gets stopped early because just about anything would have made that ear explode and bleed out...

Hehehe

They were both completely useless fighters in every match they had

@@scarred10 They def werent useless cus they not HIDING behind a screen talking shii.

@@TheeMostDangerousOne I boxed from age 10 umtil 20 yrs old,any competitive kid on my club had better hands than kimbo ever did,the man was completely untrained.That is the definition of useless.

No, he was trying to move him out of his face. That ref is way too hands on. No reason to hold a dude against the cage after screwing him.

Hehehe

Look up Oleksandr Emilianko vs Thompson. It all started there.

@@spiritchild9101dudes ear woulda fell off… was good stoppage.

@@spiritchild9101 The ref doing his job.

8th u 76

He deals out the Slice, he don't take em'

Nah, that's just luck and vaseline. lol

Also Thompson was using more closer to his forearm not his actual edge of the elbow which gives the cuts sharper end of the bone

​​@@generalkayoss7347 Luck and Vaseline should never be in the same sentence 😅😅😅

Nor should they be allowed to fight with such rotten ears.

Dude was still fighting tho you gotta give them the opportunity to come back very few opportunities to compete in the ufc but I do believe in keeping fighter safe

@@ajsanchez3984dont matter, 2-3 punches on that ear, and he could lost his hearing,

​@@expertexpertens8396 Not from a swelling like that. Injuries on the outside of the ear don't really affect hearing (Which is why Evander Holyfield can still hear fine).

@@ThePinkMan okay but still the Guy was out, u see the punches he took?

Yeah he brought Thompson up earlier too for no reason

He was paid to help Kimbo win. Standing up Thompson whenever Thompson got the advantage and then the early stoppage too. All of Kimbo's fights were fixed to some extent

Thompson had an advantage for the last minute of the second round, and he didn't stand them up.

@@shadysif6220 because it would be too obvious. he even encouraged kimbo with "just 5 seconds left!"

Bro thank you

Yea you dont know anything abt this, stop watching stuff like this.

Ye a lot of the announcers had no idea what they were talking ab back then💀

ya literally just a bridge flip

with his rotten ear

Hehehe

I wouldn't even call that an ear anymore.

@@likemyke2864 งในปีรร

@@GOD-I-AM ได้

Not Nice 😮

Are you joking

😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

menos, bem menos.

Eu já sabia..... infelizmente se foi

*១

legend? lol come on

more like street fight legend 💯but I'm not sure about his MMA legendary status

He was completely useless as an MMA fighter

@@scarred10 Not as useless as you.

@@cellardoor9882 He's a legend, yall haters can cry.

This is not a true!

Whomp whomp.

Nah, his win over Houston Alexander was bigger.

This isn’t ufc lil bro

The ref knows that. UFC wanted Kimbo to win, he was a money maker for them.

​​@@destroya3303elite XC not the UFC, kimbo wasn't a big draw in the UFC, because honestly he wasn't that good. This entire fight was damn near fixed watch at the very beginning Thompson is deliberately missing when he's throwing punches from the top in round 1. Hell Seth Petruzelli knocked out kimbo in his fight with kimbo and they offered him an extra like 25k or something like that not to wrestle with kimbo, to keep the fight standing, because kimbo has no ground game what so ever

​@@KAZUALSTRATZ"deliberatly missing"... umm no

só tem tamanho e força e não sabe usar nenhum dos dois...

Nem em trocaçâo, nem em punch, nem em resistência, e nem em Nada

Haha these comments are hilarious. Who would've thought the 3rd world, slum living, short Brazilians know nothing about UFC. If you're under the age of 15, just say that. Mental competence of your level is dangerously embarassing

Me too. If he hadn't closed the distance, an injury would have surely occurred. Someone with some sense. Entire fight looked rigged. Somn's not right.
