Kimbo Slice vs Ken Shamrock

August 29th, 2008

Kimbo’s next fight is set for primetime THIS SATURDAY night, October 4th, in the EliteXC: Heat show on CBS, and it will in fact be Kimbo Slice vs. Ken Shamrock. The fight will take place in Sunnyvale Florida and will mark Kimbo Slice’s fifth professional MMA fight, after Ray Mercer, Bo Cantrell, Tank Abbott, and James Thompson.

Immediately after the fight between Kimbo and James Thompson, Shamrock declared that he saw holes in Kimbo’s game, saying he’d be a perfect opponent for him. Needless to say, Brett Rogers is pretty pissed.

After Kimbo vs Shamrock was announced, Brett “The Grimm” Rogers started calling out everyone from Kimbo to Dan Severn. He questions Kimbo’s credibility, calling him and his skills a myth, and claiming Kimbo’s a fraud about coming from any mean streets.

This is devolving into another “who’s harder and from a meaner ghetto” argument but Rogers doesn’t want to shut the hell up. He thought if he called Kimbo out right after fighting Thompson, he’d get the first shot just because it would have everybody talking. Apparently EliteXC doesn’t care, and it’s even rumored that they don’t want Kimbo to fight Rogers for fear that Kimbo might actually lose.

The odds don’t indicate a loss in this next Kimbo vs Shamrock fight. Ken “The World’s Most Dangerous Man” Shamrock is the 44-year-old UFC Hall of Famer with five consecutive losses. His last win was four years ago in 2004 against Kimo Leopoldo. While he has real skills, particularly in submissions, he just gets knocked out way too easily these days. But let’s hope Kimbo vs. Shamrock turns out to be an explosive fight on a good card.

And here’s Frank Shamrock, Ken Shamrock’s adopted brother, talking about how Ken should destroy Kimbo Slice in this fight:

While Ken Shamrock is nothing to brag about on paper these days, Kimbo showed us in his last fight that he himself has a lot of work to do especially in his ground game and grappling is his weakness. Shamrock is undoubtedly a master of grappling submissions and if you have been following Ken for any length of time you know that he’s famous for his leg locks. An interesting piece of trivia this time around Kimbo slices trainer, Bas Rutten, was actually submitted by Ken Shamrock twice. So if anybody knows what to train Kimbo to watch out for in this fight, it’s Bas.

What does Kimbo have to gain from this fight? Plenty. Many people know the name of Shamrock especially after the debacle against Tito Ortiz. For the people who don’t follow the sport of MMA closely, many will still see Shamrock as a formidable opponent, not realizing his better days are far behind him. But to be fair he is still a challenge and a super tough guy. Statistically the odds don’t look good for him against Kimbo Slice, but as you know by now anything can happen in MMA.

And if Shamrock wins? Unfortunately they’re probably is not much in store for shamrock if he does defeat Kimbo Slice. At 45 years old he really can’t make much of a comeback in the sport or as an athlete. But this could certainly help his career as a coach, trainer, and MMA personality like his brother Frank Shamrock. It’s a shame to see Ken’s legacy tarnished fight after fight, especially since he’s said that he just loves to fight for the thrill of it, so you can’t hold anything against him for fighting just because he is too old to be a contender for championship belts.

    LOL, its obvious that shamrock is looking to retire. I guess if you have to go out, go out against the best.

  2. Pete Says:

    So the guy will carry on fighting old completely washed up Ex-Fighters. How great.

  3. Brian Says:

    would like to see kimbo vs. Brock lesner.
    I think that would be the best matchup

  4. Clowny Says:

    Ayo, Kimbo’s going to get his ass handed to him. He can’t go half a round without collapsing from fatigue. Plus Shamrock hasn’t lost a fight in how many years?

  5. da man Says:

    lesnar would dominate kimbo due to stamina….
    shamrock has lost his last 5 matches…badly….
    bottom line, its gonna be another washed up knock out highlight for my nucca kimbo!!

    “its just how a brotha eats%

  6. Brady Says:

    Clowny are you an idiot? Shamrock has lost his last 5 fights. Know what your talking about before you post.

  7. Ceez Says:

    It looks like Elite XC will stay alive for one more fight. What are they going to do when all the Sr. UFC fighters are gone? I can’t believe this fight is actually happening. Doesnt Kimbo want to get any repect? FYI guys…This fight is so stupid, it might not even happen. Some fighting commision in FL (where the fight will be)has only given Kimbo the dumbs to fight. They’re contemplating on giving shamrock the ok because of his old-ass being 10 years away from a dennys senior discount. Come on guys, you guys have to agree that this fight isnt giving Kimbo any kind of credit. If anything it makes him look like some unexperience fighter. If Kimbo wants respect of true MMA fighters and fans, he needs to prove himself with some kind of equivelant fighter. And one more thing… I’m tired of stupid mother fu@kers who dont know shit about MMA saying give Kimbo time. Do you know how old his ass is? 35. How much fu@ken time do think he’s still got? Fu@ck Kimbo and his agent for talking him out of the Brett Rodgers match (that, would have been a real fight to test his proffesional abilities). Long live the UFC!!

  8. Yo man Says:

    Ya I agree kimbo would get killed by Lesner! He needs to fight some people that are young like Brett Rogers! Rogers would own kimbo too! It is retarded that he is fighting old washed up fighters!

  9. gio Says:

    When is Kimbo’s next fight and will it be in Miami??? Please let me know. Ive looked on ticket master and 1,000 places and I can’t find out.

    Thanks!!

  10. Pete Says:

    The negro can only fight old has beens or some untrained streetguys. Are people so dumb to pay money for that hype bullshit.

  11. tom Says:

    what channel is this fight going to be on? cbs?

  12. dsanmdan Says:

    Kimbo is doing the right thing. MMA fighters are on another level and he will likely lose to most of them. He’s living off uTube hype and 1 loss will hurt be costly so he should keep beating washed up fighters until he is totally washed up himself.

    People would pay millions to see Kimbo vs Tyson because that is the equivalent of the ultimate fighting circus.

  13. The chickenskinner Says:

    “I wana ride you till the break of Day”
    Thats what tito said when he annialated shamrock 3 times in a roww.
    if kimbo wins this fight he should fight tit-0

  14. Pit Schuler Says:

    They probably put the thug against another old completely washed up guy next. The opponents he fights says it all. But obviously there are enough idiots who pay money for such crap fights.
    And I would really like to see these MMAers be tested year round for roids and drugs. Many if not most would be banned, thats for sure.

  15. Sergei Says:

    Dont pay money for negro thugs.

  16. nas1986 Says:

    all you fags need to shut the fuck up. cause kimbo would slaughter every one of you dik-n-da-booty homos. And LESNAR can get it too.

  17. nas1986 Says:

    You guys have no idea how far kimbo could go on this undefeated streak. So gossip about the facts and stop saying that kimbo will get fucked up by all these other fighters. The facts are that kimbo is good BRAWLER. And it will be hard to find someone to beat him in that aspect of MMA. Another fact is that we have all seen his ground game and it didnt look good.

  18. Danyel Says:

    “You are only good as your last match.”

    That saying holds true. Kimbo didn’t look to good in his last match, but a win is a win. Bas is training Kimbo, which will give him an edge against Ken, and if he beats ken he will go on and fight Rodgers, hopefuly and then mabye Tito, i’d like to see that fight…

  19. gs fight too Says:

    what the hell is wrong wit yall. yea kimbo is 35 people he is 35 and knockin mofukas out give him the respect, your fathers probly is happy someones in ther age beatin ass. and fuck brock that big faggot should be undefeated and he aint, he wouldnt last in a stand up fight wit k

  20. #1MMA fan Says:

    all u stupid ass retards dont know shit about true mma fighting. I bet ur all just a bunch of fucking 16 year olds who hav prolly been following the SPORT for bout two month just because u think it makes u look cool with ur tapout shirt and hat. Kimbo slice is a fucking joke. If u put him in that octagon with a true athlete he will lose. Kimbo needs to stick to beating ass on the street. U get a pro to fight him, he’s gonna lose. And that’s a fact

  21. ceez Says:

    reply to #1MMA fan…

    Amen, fu@k those fake ass MMA fans. They don’t know shit bout MMA. Fu@k kimbo for being a pu$$y and not fighting Brett Rogers! He knew The grim was about to kick his ass… That’s why he hid behind bas and chose to fight another washed up UFC fighter. Remeber you dumb fu@ks, Shamrock was in UFC 1. That’s one old MF’er. I guess thats the only way Kimbo can get a win. One more thing, A win isnt a win… Thats like saying if you beat up an old man, your considered the winner. How stupid of a thought process is that? A win is a win when you earn it, not when your given it.

  22. Koneko Says:

    Ken is a moron for fighting Kimbo. Guess he wants to have no brain left …….

  23. kane Says:

    kimbo is a beast!!! it doesnt matter how old you are if you can still knocka mf out. george foreman was whippin ass all over the place well after 40. dont hate because you want to see him loose. to go from the street to cbs deserves some props no matter who you fight

  24. Jmyst Says:

    The fight can go either way imo. No doubt Kimbos got heavy hands, and if Ken gets caught its lights out. But I give the edge to washed up Ken. If Ken is smart he’ll listen to what the coach says and take kimbo to the floor. After that we all know what happens…

  25. jeffsupersaiyan Says:

    ok thier is some funny posts on here about age. kimbo had a little struggle. but as you watch his last fight against thompson you notice something kimbo wont tapp out . he will go to pass-out . some of you call him a thug. lol thats hilarious a thug kicken ass. kimbo does get tired real fast but so does his oppostion.

    brock vs kimbo brock would win just for the fact he is twice the sixe of kimbo and has higher endurance anyone who fights brock left the match with a jacked up face.

  26. Luke Says:

    It does not mean or prove anything if a nigger beats an old washed up guy like shamrock.

  27. Brockgetsbeatdown Says:

    OK for the record. Anyone who knows anything about MMA would not even be talking about this shamrock/kimbo fight. As for the question as to Lesnar/Kimbo….Lesnar is just as much a circus act as Kimbo. You know what happens when you are a street brawler fighting pros? Look at Chuck’s last fight. No training just drinking it up in Vegas with the hoes. The only way to win in the octagon is to be the best and train all day, everyday (Fedor style); and all three of these idiots only exist because their agents made a freak show out of them and then they got a cover shot on M&F (which, by the way, Lesnar looked flabby as hell). So if you want to talk bad fighters, talk Anderson Silva, or Fedor, your just talking about the minor leagues.

  28. Jake ackerson Says:

    Kimbo is a joke, he will get knocked out by the first real fighter he faces.

  29. happy as h*ll Says:

    knew kimbo was a joke but you would think he could at least lasted one round with a real fighter.guess he can’t take a punch after all.just another want be put to sleep.and please no crying about no time to prepare if he was as good as he acts it don’t take time to prepare your ready at any time.

  30. Pet Kambrock Says:

    Shamrock did spar just before the fight, that says all about how washed up he is now.
    Great that the hype is finally exposed, a real opponent (mediocre light heavyweight) did show it all. No more washed up guys who just show up for a little pension money. A trained opponent is a little harder than beating up street guys with no MA training at all.

  31. jesse Says:

    kimbo is my boy but i got to say lesnar would whoop his ass so bad its not funny my boy kimbo came into the game to late if he was younger he would have dominated the sport but he is still my boy…
