Kimbo Slice

By Josh Nason On Saturday night, Strikeforce will return to Showtime with a main event of Frank Shamrock vs. Nick Diaz. Normally, an event like this would fit in with the rest of the MMA found on TV today and not necessarily stand out. Pick: Diaz via second round TKO (punches)

By The Lights Out Show  Everybody’s excited about Couture vs Liddell except Couture and Liddell. Why?  Josh Barnett is set for Affliction 2, and it’s not against Brett Rogers thankfully  Antonio Silva giving second thoughts to never fighting in US again

By The Lights Out Show  Is it better to be an exciting fighter who doesn’t always win or winning fighter who isn’t very exciting? MMA’s top fighters weigh in.  One of MMA’s best heavyweights, Antonio Silva, says goodbye to the US for good  Kimbo Slice could be making it official - where and when he’ll fight next

By Luke Thomas First, no one is equating this with StandGate (at least I am not). The point about Kimbo is not his last fight's unethical nature, but the promotion as a "street fighter" he received irrespective of his late ignoble stand. It's about what sort of message his presence and stature as a street br...

By Luke Thomas Today on the "Big O & Dukes Show" on 106.7 WJFK two of the fighters competing on tomorrow's UWC: Confrontation card appeared in studio to chat MMA, Kimbo Slice, the UFC, MMA on ESPN (or lack thereof) and even video games. Click here to listen to the whole thing.

By Larry Vollmer Dana With must have been smiling ear to ear last Saturday when he found out that “Ultimate Fighter 2” cast member Seth Petruzelli would replace Ken Shamrock as Kimbo Slice’s opponent for the main event of CBS/EliteXC Saturday Night Fights.

By Brandt DeLorenzo There’s been a lot of negative press coming out of the EliteXC: Heat event following the knockout loss of Kimbo Slice. We’ve seen the mainstream media bash Slice, we watched pro-boxing personalities poke the sport of MMA, and now there’s a slew of allegations against Seth Petruzelli, Eli...

By CagE With all the shadiness of the first EliteXC on CBS show still on our minds, it looks like we finally have some proof that EliteXC is influencing its fighters so that its cash cow (Kimbo Slice) doesn’t have to expose the weakness in his ground game. Seth Petruzelli is claiming he was approache...

By ChrisNelson Tony Reali: Kimbo Slice didn't just lose last night - or Saturday night, I should say - he lost in fourteen seconds to a guy he wasn't even supposed to fight. How bad is this for the world of mixed martial beatdowns, Mariotti? Kevin Blackistone: Because, Jay, this is actually a pretty good thi...

By Michael Rome According to Seth Petruzelli, the man who defeated Kimbo Slice on EliteXC's recent CBS offering on October 4th, he was paid to keep the fight standing: The Florida Athletic Commission should conduct an investigation into this as well.

A taste of what s to come from the American sports media in regards to Kimbo Slice losing on CBS Saturday night. Jay Mariotti and Kevin Blackistone (a major boxing supporter and anti-MMA guy) were having fun ripping on MMA today on ESPN over the Kimbo situation. They both portrayed Kimbo Slic...

By James Iannotti Not like it matters now, but Elite XC fighter Seth Petruzelli talks about the promotion “hinting” to keep his fight against Kimbo Slice this past Saturday night standing rather than to try and take the street brawler to the ground. He ended up ending the fight standing in just 14 seconds. “Th...

By Michael Comeau 1) What the heck is the Florida State Boxing Commission going to do about it? Because shady business practices like this make MMA look a lot like professional wrestling. 2) Is CBS willing to continue working with EliteXC after this weekend's debacle?

Audio link here. This was not a good interview at the beginning, even with Dan Le Batard asking most of the questions. It improved a little bit towards the middle with Kimbo doing his best Dusty Rhodes impersonation as a common man. James Thompson fought in Pancrase over in Japan. He has a good ch...

By Luke Thomas The Penn vs. Slice "fantasy match-up" is the product of UFC President Dana White's comment just prior to EliteXC's debut on CBS.
