For viewing reasons, CBS only showed some of the marquee fights, and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed what I saw, other than the Kimbo Slice match, which was just ok.  Kimbo has admitted that he is just a baby in the sport and I do appreciate his honesty, Bas Rutten should be having Kimbo work on low and mid-range kicks and at least three submissions, rear naked choke, kimura, and an ankle lock, to start.  His opponent James Thompson, was a decent opponent, not great but decent, but there were a few times, when he should have clearly beaten Kimbo and he didn't, especially in the second round when he had Kimbo pinned on the mat, against the cage for about a minute.  Kimbo has some serious hands, that is a fact, I trust the wisdom of Bas to get him there as he has no ego or preconceived notion of greatness.
