Kimbo Slice to K-1, Possibly to Fight Badr Hari in Kickboxing Bout

This comes from Japanese MMA Blog Omasuki Fight, which was translated over at Bloody Elbow.

Japanese tabloid Tokyo Sports reported that Kimbo Slice will be making appearance at Dec 6 K-1 show in Yokohama Japan to say hi to Japanese fans, K-1 Event Producer Tanigawa confirmed. His K-1 debut match will be in March, vs. current K-1 heavyweight champ, Badr Hari.

K-1 is basically kickboxing without elbow and muay thai clinch. Good for Kimbo not have to worry about ground game.

OK let me get this straight, Kimbo will be signed by K-1 to fight in March and be subsequently destroyed by one of the greatest kickboxers walking the planet. If this is true, maybe Kimbo hasn't done any research on Hari, because he stands ZERO chance of beating Hari in a kickboxing bout. Of course we would even get to see this massacre on HDNET now, more power to him, but if I were his manager I would try to put him in a match where he would at least stand a chance. Bob Sapp, anyone?

Ken Shamrock Talks Kimbo Slice Fight(Video)

This is actually from awhile ago, but of course now we know its going to happen so this video, just like that, becomes relevant again. I'm still rooting for Shamrock via heel hook or kneebar, that would be priceless. Some IFL fighters(or should I say former IFL fighters) also weigh in on the match-up.

Kimbo Slice vs Ken Shamrock Set for October 4th on CBS

Sherdog gets the scoop.

Ken Shamrock (Pictures) will be the fourth man to face Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson (Pictures) when the two icons clash at EliteXC’s third installment of “Saturday Night Fights” Oct. 4 at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla. The headlining bout will anchor a live broadcast on CBS.

Sherdog.com confirmed the bout’s signing with multiple parties aware of the fight, while a press release is expected to circulate later today with the news.

The 44-year-old Shamrock (26-13-2) beat out fellow candidates Sean Gannon and Brett Rogers (Pictures), who called out Slice in May, for the coveted slot.

Shamrock has lost his last 5 fights, but he's still a huge name for hardcore and mainstream fans alike. I'll be watching and rooting for "The World's Most Dangerous Man", who will most likely be a heavy underdog. I've got 2 words for Kimbo "Heel Hook"!!

The Numbers Are In, Kimbo Slice Took 71 Consecutive Unanswered Blows, Bas Rutten Says It Should've Been Stopped

According to MMA Mania Kimbo Slice recieved 71 consecutive unanswered blows in the second round starting at the 1:20 mark until the end of the round.

Bas Rutten recently made a post about the fight on his website, here is what he had to say about the barrage of second round unanswered blows.

People ask me if the fight should have been stopped at the end in the second round, I say YES because those are the rules, it should have been stopped because Kimbo didn't do anything to improve his situation. But I think what made the ref NOT do it was the fact that Kimbo was giving his thumbs up the whole time to let the referee know that he was OK.
This was the refs decission, not Kimbo's.

My Take: I agree with Bas, its the rules and while Kimbo did show heart by hanging in there he wasn't doing anything to defend himself or improve position. Long story short, Dan Miragliotta is a bad ref.
