![]() ![]() Perhaps a better match up for Kimbo would have been Brett “The Grim” Rogers seeing as how he’s actually earned the shot by racking up a 7 fight win streak (he’s currently undefeated). ![]() Not that I commend that fact that Dana is running his mouth and disrespecting some of the fighters that helped build the UFC into the MMA powerhouse that it is today, I think he’s right when he implies that EliteXC is protecting Kimbo and as he put it – “milking his YouTube cash cow for all he’s worth”. Gary Shaw and his 3rd rate promotion have no fucking credibility” Maybe that moron Ken Shamrock will expose Kimbo and he’ll go back to fighting guys at the local Burger King. It’s clear that Gary is going to milk his YouTube cash cow for all he’s worth but true fans know that Kimbo is a joke and he would get destroyed against any UFC Heavyweight. Now Ken Shamrock? When is Kimbo going to fight a guy who was relevant past 1998? Tito Ortiz, who sucks, destroyed Ken Shamrock three times. Bo Cantrell? Who the fuck is Bo Cantrell? Tank Abbott? He was never that good, he just looked tough and always got his ass kicked. Which would he rather us do? Obviously he’s in favour of protecting guys since Kimbo doesn’t seem to be fighting a good fighter anytime soon. Then he gave us shit for matching up Brock against Frank Mir. First he thought we protected our guys, which is bullshit. This fucker is so clueless that it’s laughable. As for his upcoming fight with Kimbo, UFC president Dana White had some interesting comments about the match-up. If that’s actually the case, it explains the lacklustre performance and if anything, he should be commended for stepping into the ring while he was that sick. You can’t gift wrap one better than this.’” We started pursuing a fight, the Kimbo Slice thing came up and we said, ‘Wow, this is the perfect fight for me, man. I got myself back on the track again and going in the right direction and got my weigh back on. We got the right antibiotics and got everything cleared. “It was serious enough to where I lost 20 pounds and I was probably sick for about four weeks after I got back from England. A jab! Shamrock has never been known for having a “glass jaw” either so something about that doesn’t seem right.Īlthough, to be fair, Shamrock claimed to be sick during the fight and recently issued the following statement. Shamrock, who is a veteran of almost 40 MMA fights, got dropped from a jab. He has also been criticized for his “performance” in his most recent fight with “Buzz” Berry. After that fight, Franklin went on to become a UFC “posterboy” for quite a while and Shamrock collected an unusually high payday. In his fight with Franklin, he awkwardly drops to the mat before Franklins oncoming punch was even delivered. Ken Shamrock has (on more than one occasion), been suspected of taking “dives” in some of his fights. If you consider the controversy associated with last EliteXC event that featured Kimbo (read here), this new match-up seems a little suspicious to say the least. A win over Shamrock will further enhance the perceived legitimacy of Kimbo amongst the casual MMA fans. ![]() EliteXC needs the “Shamrock” name recognition to not only draw an audience but also, to build up their “cash cow” in Kimbo Slice. He hasn’t won a fight in the last 4+ years and now he’s landed himself in the main event on a event set to air live on national television? Something just doesn’t seem right about that. His latest string of fights are evidence that he is no longer the fighter he once was. Ken Shamrock is certainly the more experienced of the two but at age 44, he’s clearly past his prime. Slice, live on CBS – this fight is going to be huge. Thompson clash pulled in an audience of over 6.5 million. Ken Shamrock’s third encounter with Tito Ortiz (which aired free on SpikeTV) drew an audience of 5.7 million viewers while the recent Kimbo vs. As a matter of fact, Kimbo Slice and Ken Shamrock have been involved in two of the three most watched fights in the history of the sport. That name recognition is sure to go a long way when it comes to attracting viewers. Shamrock and Kimbo are two of the most well known fighters to casual fans. But why was Ken Shamrock selected as the next opponent for Kimbo Slice? The answer is simple – money! On October 4th, the bout between Kimbo Slice and Ken Shamrock will be the main event on Elite XC’s “Saturday Night Fights” set to air live on CBS. The contracts are signed and it’s official. ![]()
