Passion: Kimbo gets Sliced !!!

EliteXC Pulling out all their tricks to leave a lasting impression to save the struggling company.

Saturday night was one of those nights that seemed weird from the start.

Kimbo vs. Ken Shamrock, a pioneering legend in MMA who also happens to be 44 years old and without a victory in over four years. You begin to think that it is time that Kimbo starts to face the cream of the crop. Instead an old Shamrock is scheduled and then is removed from the card to be replaced by a new comer Seth Petruzelli, that they made sure to call the modern day "Rocky Balboa" before the start of the match that was scheduled 40 min before the original Kimbo Shamrock match.

We have all seen Kimbo Slice take hit after hit after hit and not even flinch, but on Saturday night he is technically knocked out only 14 sec. in to the match by a much smaller Karate fighter with only a very small right fist to Kimbo's face as the so called Rocky Balboa is falling away from the attacking Kimbo Slice. Apparently this fist packed enough power to put Kimbo Slice on the ground to end the fight as the Referee rushed to save the stunned Slice from any more small right fist. Awarding Seth Petruzelli with a TKO, Kimbo seemed to not be to upset that he has just lost his first professional match as the most famous fighter in the United States of America.

It seems to obvious that a struggling EliteXC could have pulled a fast one. Staging probably the greatest promotional campaign in sports history to assure greater ratings for the upcoming soon to be most talked about fights of late this year or early next. Could this be a rematch! or a definite hyped fight "Kimbo vs. Shamrock and Seth Petruzelli vs. who ever they can bring in to establish him as the other face of EliteXC MMA Fighting.
