Can Kimbo Slice defeat the world's most dangerous man this saturday night, Oct. 4?

I personally think he might win, if he could avoid Shamrock's takedowns and keep this fight standing. I would love to see how improved he has gotten on the ground though if Shamrock does manage to take him down.

Kimbo was Pathetic on the ground against James Thompson, and if he is still the same person that he was when he fought James, Kimbo could be looking at his first defeat at Elite XC, because Ken Shamrock is motivated to beating the YouTube famed Star.

For a 44 year old fighter, Ken Shamrock can take a pretty good beating. He has a tough jaw, but will it withstand the heavy punches Kimbo has in store for him. Shamrock isn't the same fighter that he was during the beginning of his career.

Ken is near his final run of his career, and a defeat this Saturday might seal the deal for his retirement. So for Shamrock to win this match he would have to put him to the mat and work him from there. 

Overall, I think this match won't disappoint because you got two men trying to prove themselves, a legend versus a star. This will be Kimbo's first real test, so lets see if this match lives to its hype.

  1. Unfortunately, knowing how Ken sees himself as a legend (in his own mind) he will probably be arrogant enough to try to stand with Kimbo, instead of using his wrestling skills to fight on the ground.
    Ken is usually his own worst enemy and may therefore defeat himself, with very ittle help from Kimbo.

  2. Ken needs to change his alias to "Worlds most Stubborn Man"
    he's soo prideful that i'm almost 100% sure that he's going to try to stand
    with Kimbo like Dorothy just mentioned,
    The one thing thats really never questioned though is Kimbos power,
    is it really all that overwhelming?.. i Highly question his striking power
    after i watched his inability to knock out James "A Strong Wind Will Knock Me Down" Thompson

  3. CHECK HIM OUT ON YOU TUBE IF YOU DOUBT HIS POWER.. http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=_fS5P5PoiQI

  4. http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=5UcmIQ4xLrY&feature=related

  5. It's not that easy to knock out a heavy weight fighter

  6. Shamrock is pathetic. How the hell do you manage to get injured between weigh-ins and the fight? He completely ruined my parlay bet. I hope I never see that old bastard again.

  7. Scamrock has past his time about 8 years ago. but if Kimbo actually beats this has been it will mean nothing. It will only mean he beat 4 guys that were horrible at MMA.

    1. The fight has been called off, hence my previous comment.
