Sad but true…CFFC6 is cancelled so Kimbo vs. Tank is cancelled too. One of the event’s major investors changed his mind at the last minute. What a waste of time for all the fighters…

“It is with deep regret that I have to announce the cancellation of Cage Fury’s October 12th event. I did everything in my power to make this show happen for the fighters and the fans. However, I could not overcome the loss of a major investor for this show who decided to pull out at the last moment. With the loss of this investor, I cannot proceed with another first class event. It has always been my intention to provide the best combative sport entertainment that I could. I am very sorry for having to cancel this event and sincerely apologize to all the fighters, the fans and our dedicated staff.”

However, an organization named Palace FC put in a bid on this bout this morning.

EDIT: CFFC6 remains cancelled and Palace Fighting Championship did not manage to acquire the fight due to Kimbo making a commitment elsewhere (unknown as of yet). Read the rest of this entry »

Supposedly the Kimbo vs. Tank Abbott match almost happened a few months ago — in a bar.

Famed bareknuckle streetfighter Kimbo Slice was in a Florida night club back in January when he was called out on the spot by David “Tank” Abbott. [Tank Abbott,  former UFC fighter, was considered one of the most dangerous strikers in the early days of MMA.] A witness said that Abbott and friends confronted Kimbo and his entourage, placing $10,000 on the table and saying, “You think you’re so tough, any time, any place. I’ll let you call it.” Kimbo hesitated and gave no response. One of his crew stood up and Abbott push him right back down into his seat. Before leaving the club, Tank offered, ”You know how to get in touch with me.” Kimbo and crew sat for a few minutes without a word to each other, then finally they all got up and left. Associates for Abbott have told Mmaweekly.com that they have not received a followup from Kimbo or his management.

 Rumor? BS? Possibly true?

Kimbo vs. Tank is OFFICIAL! Tank Abbott and Kimbo Slice will be throwing hands on October 12th, 2007 at CFFC 6 in Atlantic City.

Here’s an article that appeared in the Miami Herald the day of the Mercer fight. It talks about Kimbo growing up, Palmetto Highschool, poverty, and his rise to fame.
