Kimbo Slice has won his last three fights, some over lack luster opponents. He has two wins by knockout and one by submission. EliteXC is trying to market this guy by setting him up with easy fights. He’s currently their main money maker. Slice made his sanctioned MMA debut against former WBO Heavyweight champion boxer Ray Mercer at Cage Fury Fighting Championships 5. Slice defeated Mercer with a guillotine choke at 1:12 into the first round. He then fought washed up fighter Tank Abbott, beating him in 43 seconds, he then made his main event debut against James Thompson. Thompson won both on total points by repeatedly taking down Slice and grounding and pounding. In the opening seconds of the third round, however, Kimbo threw a haymaker to Thompson's left ear, which ruptured Thompson's cauliflower. This was soon followed by three unanswered punches to a standing Thompson, which led to a referee stoppage and a controversial win for Slice. Fellow EliteXC competitor Brett Rogers was particularly critical of Slice's victory, calling Slice's performance "garbage" in a post fight interview. Now with his next opponent Shamrock coming up, the winner will take on Bret Rogers. Gee I wonder who will win.
Ken “The World's Most Dangerous Man” Shamrock, ya right, is a 15 year veteran of MMA; he first made his debut in UFC 1 back in 1993. After some success in other MMA fighting organizations he came back into the UFC to take on former UFC Light Heavyweight champion, Tito Ortiz. He lost to Ortiz in UFC 40 by TKO stoppage by his corner. He would then try his luck against Rich Franklin and MMA legend Kazushi "The Gracie Hunter" Sakuraba. Both were humiliating losses and Shamrocks career was clearly on the down slope. At UFC 61 Shamrock and Ortiz had a rematch of their UFC 40 fight and guess what, Shamrock got pounded on. He just can’t let go of his past, GIVE IT UP SHAMROCK YOU’RE DONE! He’s lost his last five fights in a row and I don’t know what EliteXC promoters are thinking. Kimbos power and strength is a serious threat to Shamrocks health and don’t be surprised if Shamrock is carted out of the ring.
