Kimbo Slice vs. Seth Petruzelli Full Video
Something I've wanted to NOT happen for a while now. I was willing to believe the hype. I so wanted the EliteXC to succeed, but to use a person [who was also using this organization for personal gains as well] as the 'marquee' fighter of their organization seems massively shady. Its something written on the walls in small print, but with neon lettering. Kimbo Slice is a brawler, so was Tank Abbot and to a certain extent Chuck Liddell. The difference between Kimbo and those other legends, was that Kimbo was already dubbed a legend before being truly tested as one in the sport of MMA. Tank and Chuck worked up the ranks of the MMA [in grand fashion] and have recovered from losses and have won the respect of their peers and in some cases their championship status.
after the jump the Slice/Petruzelli conclusion, Carano vs Kobold, ...
I think if anything this fight is most devastating to EliteXC the organization, because they now look like fools to the rest of the public and not just MMA enthusiast. Kimbo got paid before he got into the ring so if he decides now that he's tasted defeat for the second time [but the first time professionally], he can walk away with a fatter bank account than what he started with. Seth Petruzelli should use this moment, because he is still barely a middle card fighter, otherwise I'd expect him to fade away back into obscurity.

What a great fight...i can only hope that the more we start to see fights like these [regardless of who the 'star' is] the more it will lose its 'dog and pony' undercard show which it has had for a good decade now. Womens Mixed Martial Arts is doing for this sport what the lightweight and welterweight division did for boxing in its heyday. I honestly believe people want to see great competition in any sport they watch...I only hope that this is one of them.
