Kimbo Slice has got a lot of flack since his debut in to professional MMA. As a headliner at Elite XC events with very few pro MMA fights under his belt, he drew a lot of verbal abuse from other MMA fighters and fans. I’ve even said a few words about him here, but after reading a segment in the latest Tapout Magazine, I feel that perhaps I was wrong to judge and talk badly about the man.
You have to think about it this way. On Youtube Kimbo Slice was a bad-ass street fighter for quite a few years …read more

Is Ken Shamrock still a relevant MMA fighter? Before I get started let me first say that I’m not picking on Ken and I know I’m not the first person to raise this question, but his track record has fallen greatly in the last three years. He’s lost all 5 of his last fights all in the first round and was scratched from his last main event fight in the last Elite XC fight with Kimbo Slice.
At 44 years old, Shamrock is still in great physical condition. MMA Junkie reports that Ken is set to fight in a co-promoted …read more

Wow, November is over all ready and the end of 2008 is right around the corner. Where the hell does the time go? We’ve seen some exciting fights this year and it can only get better…or can it? To me it seems that some promotions are shooting for "Super Fights" to draw cash instead of singing matches with people that deserve a title match. That’s nothing really new though, is it? Anyway, I have a few things and link of interest here for this end of the month wind-down.
First up, we saw an UFC and MMA Veteran lose his title …read more

This past week I missed the fact that due to the Thanksgiving holiday, The Ultimate Fighter was not going to air. Instead, we saw replays of the last two episodes. You’ll have to wait until next week to see back to back episodes. December 3rd is also WEC 37 with Manny Tapia vs. Miguel Torres.
WEC 37 starts at 8 pm with 4 fights to air so it should be over by the time The Ultimate Fighter comes on at 10 pm on Spike TV. This Torres Vs. Tapia fight should be a great fight. Also Brian Bowles will be …read more

MMAJunkie.com reports that some MMA agents are uniting to try to stop Showtime from auctioning the contracts of Elite XC fighters. ProElite closed it’s doors last last month and Showtime had invested money into ProElite and Elite XC and is owed compensations for the fall out. However, the MMA agents are fighting the legality of Showtime’s attempts to auction off the contracts as part of the ProElite liquidation. Here is an excerpt from the letter:
The unity of this effort is unprecedented and the message that is being sent is clear. Absent significant pre-established negotiated terms, do not bid on these …read more

So the big news this weeks MMA Happening was Mike Brown taking the title from the WEC Featherweight Champion Urijah Faber at WEC 36. In the short time we saw Mike Brown in the ring he showed some pretty good skill, strength and smarts. Urijah Faber has won some fights with some unorthodox moves that have at times looked sloppy but have worked because of his speed. This time one of those moves backfired on him and he got caught with an enormous right hand with a lot of velocity behind it. Mike Brown was smart enough to finish …read more

MMAJunkie.com reports that the auction for ProElite will happen in Los Angeles later this month and all "tangible and intangible assets". Unfortunately or maybe not, this includes contracts of the fighters currently signed to EliteXC.
The sale will include contracts with a number of EliteXC fighters, including Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson, Gina Carano, Jake Shields, Robbie Lawler, Frank Shamrock and many others.

I expect Kimbo to take a huuuuge pay cut. Maybe we’ll see him on season 10 of The Ultimate Fighter, but that’s highly unlikely. Dana white has expressed interest in Jake Shields and I wish WEC or UFC could …read more

Nope, but it will be up for public auction. MMAWeekly reports:
In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing dated Nov. 4, executives from Showtime Networks and parent company CBS Corporation announced that the assets of Pro Elite, Inc. would be sold to the highest bidder in a public auction scheduled for Nov. 17.

So there you go. Any chances of ProElite or EliteXC promoting any future fights are now in the hands of some one with a fat wad of cash. This is kind of strange seeing that just recently they told a few fighter’s managers that they would be promoting …read more

This video is almost a month old, but it was the first time I saw it. Check out Dana White (UFC President) talking about Elite XC and the Kimbo Vs. Petruzelli Fight.

Dana has a great point but gets a bit worked up over it, eh?
