Remember EliteXC? It was the MMA promotion of Gary and Jared Shaw that hoped to directly compete with the UFC at a time when there was no clear number two promotion in the United States. They were able to secure a television agreement with Showtime and CBS to become the first MMA promotion to air on network television. Featuring extremely marketable fighters in Gina Carano and Kimbo Slice, they were able to gain a bit of a foothold in the market.
Around the same time that KimboMania was running wild, Showtime also had a marketable heavyweight boxer named Samuel Peter making waves in boxing circles. The marketing team at Showtime decided to try and take advantage of the rising popularity of these two heavyweight superstars by releasing what may be the only piece of advertising that could rival the IFL Rap in absurdity. With the help of an unknown band called "DopplegangGanger", Showtime released a song titled "Hits and Chicks".
The lyrics...
In the ring or in the cage any way you Slice it we love our jugs and pugs.
Try getting it up when you get knocked down...Hits and Chicks! Hits and Chicks!
Kaboom! Kabluey! Oh boy! Hot Fooey! Hits and Chicks! Hits and Chicks! Hits and Chicks! Hits and Chicks!
Busted ears! Bodacious Boobs and one of the best knockouts in years! It's hard getting it up when you get knocked down! Hits and Chicks! Hits and Chicks!
Kimbo Slice! Sam Peter! We love em! Hits and Chicks! Hits and chiiiiiiiiiiiiicks!!!!
I hope you enjoyed another great moment in MMA marketing.

Surprisingly decent….
For how terrible the lyrics are.
Pretty good for a laugh.
beerdo - February 17, 2012

Not quite at the ridiculousness level of the IFL Rap

Do you feel I lied to you in some way?
Matthew Roth - February 17, 2012
I think he’s agreeing with you.
Tim Burke - February 17, 2012

The ending is what made me go like that...
I was like “Um…HUH?” Only thing they lacked was a lion donning a fencing uniform riding a unicycle.
Unabomberman - February 17, 2012

Bizz213 - February 17, 2012

Momements is surprisingly fitting.

Hey, staff, don't forget that one time Carmel Elektra was contracted to do promotion for the UFC.
Unabomberman - February 17, 2012

Matthew Roth - February 17, 2012
The fuck it was, man. That was deliberate. You were caught up in the mommement, admit it.

this made Face the Pain sound like Nessun dorma
MaZZacare - February 17, 2012
it makes me sad that
(and if im not mistaken) this was our last push at keeping boxing relevant over here, with Peter at the Helm .. and a klitzsko (sp?) pounded him (well the first one wasnt a bad fight) that reality away ..
after that .. its like we gave up on the BIG push to get boxing (in particular the heavys) back in the spotlight ..
Isnt this dude like the only dude thats lost to both the Klitzskco (sp?) bros? ..
I mean even Vitali (Im pretty sure thats the one that just got slapped) ..HIS fight isnt even broadcast over here unless you have some obscure way of viewing it
sigh damn Ukrainians …
HEY ..!! at lest I got my MMA …
HITS AND CHICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FLOJO - February 17, 2012
such an awful job considering both guys promote themselves really kimbo with his background and sam peter with his great interview skills “WHO NECKS!!!”

Good goddamn is that ever terrible.
I’d rather listen to Tubthumper by Chumbawumba, in reverse, while recieving a hot sauce enema…
SteveevaD - February 17, 2012
Tubthumper...
is a masterpiece. Don’t ever talk shit about Danny Boy.
RagingBronco - February 17, 2012
Way to appeal to the lowest common denominator
TITS! ASSES! GUYS HITTING EACH OTHER IN THE HEAD! MORE TITS!

Catchy tune...
bonesthebaptist - February 17, 2012 via mobile
Much as I love things that don't take themselves seriously
That is some low quality shit there. Sam Peter and Kimbo Slice tagged onto the end blatant placement of product, singing terrible, scenes of fights went by too fast, woman getting splashed? and probably end up getting shit publicity from every women’s rights organisation in the planet. boo.
UK MMA MAN - February 17, 2012
When the hell....
did the guys from “its always sunny in Philadelphia” have the time to make this?
justsomehawkeyefan - February 17, 2012
The best part has to be how even Mr. DopplegangGanger had too much journalistic integrity to say that knockout was the best ever, or even definitively “best in years,” instead settling on the hilariously awkward “and ONE OF the best knockouts in years.”
