6 million watch Kimbo ..

lose again.

Nelson as the fourth most viewed MMA fight in U.S. history. Kimbo has now fought in three out of the four most viewed fights in American MMA history.

TV By The Numbers is reporting that TUF was competitive with the big three networks in viewership in that time slot -- "CSI: NY" on CBS drew 12.87 million viewers, "Eastwick" on ABC drew 6.62 million, and "The Jay Leno Show" drew 5.99 million.

Now that is just flat out impressive. Kimbo is a draw and I say we keep running him out there (just not a main event VS like Elite did).

I enjoyed the fight. Kimbo was outclassed and loss but all in all I thought he handled himself well. I have much more respect for Kimbo sense I have been watching him on the show.

it's true, i find myself rooting for him but i like Roy too. Hopefully Kimbo fights for that other big dude and wins.

I think either way kimbo ends up in the UFC but Im with u I found myself rooting for him also.

Kimbo sure is popular.

Gutted he lost to Roy nothing worse than losing to an arrogant fatty

But the fatty is the best fighter on the show. He's ranked as the 21st best HW in the world.

I used to stick Nelson in my top ten before his Arlovski loss.

i kinca cheered for kimbo..it was weird

Man, people love Roy Nelson!

That was the only time I've ever seen a match stood up from side mount. Kimbo could have won if they did the same thing at TUF.

I think this puts White in a predicament. Kimbo will prob walk away from this show without a win. He will prob lose his 1st fight in the UFC(if the UFC signs him) if he goes against a heavy with any semblance of a ground game. Yet he brings in viewers. He will not be the main event, but you can be sure he will share the billing in any and all commercials. So basically White is putting himself in the exact same position that Elite was in.

Yet, can he really let him walk back to strikeforce?

I wonder if there may be a bidding war after TUF if indeed Kimbo comes out winless. Odd situation.

I've seen a Baroni fight were he had full mount and the fight got stood up.
