According to Sherdog.com Kimbo slice (3-0) next opponent will be ‘The Worlds Most Dangerous Man” Ken Shamrock (26-13-2). In the main event of EliteXC on CBS, October 4th in Sunrise, Florida.
Although Shamrock has lost his last five fights, this for sure will be Kimbo’s toughest fight to date. For MMA fans wanting to see Kimbo fight some actual competition. Even though he is past his prime Ken will definitely test Kimbo to see if he belongs in the cage.
If Kimbo can get past Shamrock Ill give him the benefit of the doubt, especially after his last fight against James Thompson. Which should have been a stand up brawl Kimbo was tailor made to win. Kimbo couldn’t put Thompson away how most people thought, with a first round KO. I definitely lost some of my Kimbo hype after that performance.
This will definitely give EliteXC and CBS the ratings they are looking for. As they are riding on Kimbo to keep EliteXC in the mainstream. If Kimbo is victorious against Shamrock this would be big for him. I guess we’ll see if the hard work Kimbo has put in with Bas Rutten will finally pay off. But if Kimbo is to lose to a washed up Shamrock EliteXC could be in some trouble.
Check back as I will post odds and fight predictions for EliteXC, Kimbo vs. Shamrock fight card.
