It was 2008, Kimbo Slice was the hottest thing in the "fighting" world. He first made a name for himself beating up drug dealers and bouncers in back alleys of Miami. Millions of 12 year old boys thought he was the greatest. He was then signed to a professional MMA organization run by a man somehow sleazier than Dana White. In his first few fights he had beat up a former fighter named Tank, and almost caused a can named Colossus to pass out due to blood loss via ear. Kimbo was then set up to fight an old WWF wrestler and part time fighter named Ken Shamrock. Ken was old and had already lost about 25 fights in a row. Kimbo knocking him out was the way it was supposed to go. Supposed to. Hours before the fight was to take place, Ken was being dumb and somehow cut himself. Ken was ruled out of the fight.
Stated earlier sleazy promoter then began scrambling for a replacement to take on his golden goose. Unable to find a complete can that was sure to lose to Slice, the promoter picked Seth Petruzelli. He was only half-a-can, but a step above the janitor. What happened next was one of the greatest moments of this here human cockfighting sport.
10 seconds in:
Kimbo was over. The event organizer would shut down months later. Dana White emoticonned.
TONIGHT. We finally get that fight that nobody and everybody wanted to see. How this fight got sanctioned in the first place is anyone's guess. Kimbo is 30 pounds heavier, Ken came in under the heavyweight threshold, and Ken is 51 goddamn years old.
