Kimbo Slice

By Kevin Curran However this again comes back to Bas Rutten, his trainer. In my opinion and in the opinion of many experts, Bas may be the best striker of all time. If even Bas with his liver popping strikes can't catch Ken, how can Kimbo? ...

By James Iannotti – Elite XC heavyweight fighter and MMA legend Ken Shamrock tells Sherdog.com that he sees weaknesses in Kimbo Slice’s best attribute as a fighter. It’s also interesting he says he’s going to go after Slice’s leg. Leg locks are and advanced jiu jitsu move and not even allowed in most beginner o...

By James Iannotti Elite XC put on an event in Miami in February that also featured Kimbo in the main event. And that one — dubbed “Street Ceritifed” — broke the all-time attendance record for the Bank United Center on the campus of the University of Miami.

By bfowlkes In case you missed it, we were falling out over Team Bison’s “official statement on behalf of Brett Rogers” yesterday. They naturally took the opportunity to bash Kimbo Slice and Ken Shamrock, accusing the former of shuckin’ and duckin’ and the latter of being 103 years old, but they had us...

By John Chandler The show’s main event will feature EliteXC heavyweight sensation Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson taking on the biggest test of his young career thus far in the form of UFC Hall-of-Famer Ken Shamrock.

By Mark Chalifoux Well, it’s official now. Kimbo Slice will fight Ken Shamrock in the main event of EliteXC’s Oct. 4 show, the next CBS event. I joked about it earlier in the week but they actually are going the route of Slice-Shamrock, which really shouldn’t be surprising.

By jencarnacao@sherdog.com (jencarnacao@sherdog.com (Jack Encarnacao)) Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson is a baby in the sport, a tough street fighter The contrasts couldn’t be clearer.

By Luke Thomas The only question is what sort of post-fight antics can we expect should Slice win and Rogers enter the cage for the post-fight interview? If it's as bad as the Noons vs. Diaz dust up, I'll live. If it turns into something as violent as the Source Awards, I will have quite a bit to say.

By Luke Thomas So now we are here with EliteXC grasping for relevancy by clinging to the popularity afforded to Kimbo Slice. A popularity, mind you, of dubious loyalty and longevity. The matchmaking merely illustrates the distance between EliteXC and their rivals. The Slice vs. Shamrock bout could've be...

By James Iannotti “Nick Diaz will be back in November on Showtime for an Elite show. His opponent will obviously be discussed and I really don’t know what’s next for KJ right now.

By bfowlkes Maybe it wouldn’t be so irritating if they weren’t so glib about it. Elite XC has got to be the only MMA promotion in the world where being a talented fighter can keep you out of the main event. The sole reason Brett Rogers isn’t getting his shot at Kimbo on CBS is because he might win. You can’t even...

By Nate Double EliteXC is making a huge mistake by protecting their star Kimbo Slice to this degree. Instead of playing the bad blood card between KJ Noons and Nick Diaz, EliteXC should play it between Slice and Bret Rogers, which is the fight most ...

By Mark Chalifoux The reports are in and EliteXC’s "Unfinished Business" show Saturday night did not fare as well as the first time around. A slight ratings drop was to be expected as CBS no longer had the intrigue involved with the debut of the sport on network TV. Also missing in action were the two biggest sta...

By Luke Thomas Moss was intrigued by the training regimen in part because he had taken an interest in the career of another Miami-based athlete, Kevin Ferguson - known to most as the street fighter-turned-Internet sensation-turned-MMA star Kimbo Slice.

By yacman1 And while many Ground and Pounder guys will execute such a plan, it still lacks something to see him ride Herring's back like a rodeo cowboy and not even try a basic, rear naked choke when he is likely as difficult to escape from as alcatraz. Even the highly criticized newbie from EliteXC, Kim...

By Luke Thomas Brock Lesnar, like Kimbo Slice, is famous from exploits outside of MMA (WWE), headlined a major TV broadcast with less than a handful of MMA fights to his credit (when he fought Frank Mir at UFC 81) and is trying to make up for lack of MMA experience without losing momentum. I’m sure the pro wre...

By bfowlkes Oh, good. It’s in 3D. For a minute there I was concerned that this children’s movie starring a former pro wrestler and a former bodyguard for internet pornographers might turn out to be a horrible fiasco. But no, 3D. That’s how all the quality films are done. Just look at “Captain EO”.

The event will be broadcast on CBS. Carano will likely meet Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos at the event, while Kimbo may take on B...

By yacman1 The next show in October should bring the pendulum front and center. It will have the Carano and Kimbo hype and the formatting displayed on this second CBS Saturday Night Fights. That should be the right mixture to dole out enough satisfaction to avid and hardcore fans.

By Cannon J The broadcast was much tighter and easier to watch than the last.  Evidently, the show in October will feature Kimbo Slice and Gina Carano.  While I understand plugging the two stars verbally, it looked silly plastered on the TV screen.  No one knows who their opponents will be.  The graphi...
