EliteXC superstar Kimbo Slice will face MMA legend Ken Shamrock on October 4. Shamrock has lost much of his power and speed, but he remains a submission specialist who can end a fight simply by grabbing hold of a limb. Slice will need to be cautious and pick Shamrock apart on his feet.

    Ken will destroyes this guy put him back to obscurity I'm sorry but this guy does not entertain me at all, I will watch to see what the hype is all about maybee I'm wrong but I d'ont think so.

    who is going to hold shamrcks walker while they fight? If Ken was 10 years younger this wouldn't even be a fight but he is realy old now so kimbo MIGHT have a shot

    I'm interested to hear what Pelechati has to say. Where are you, Shadow?

      Ken is done and probably paid off to only standup with him. If this hits the ground and Ken gets mount we could have ourselves a fight, but Ken will not even get close enough to do that.

      Kimbo via knockout at 1:18 of the first round Tito Ortiz style.

    What's up with his navel in the photo? Did he just deliver a little Kimbo?
  • DaHibachi
    I wonder if he will pop Shamrock's ear like the other guy.
  • I have one thing to say "FEDOR".... That would be a what... 10 sec fight! night night Kimbo!
  • Tenebrous
    Wow, Shamrock is far too old for this - but, at least, he has a chance to win despite his age.
  • Tenebrous
    By the way, what a waste of a match-up...

    When are they gonna stop nurturing this a$$hole and match him up against a good fighter in his prime?

    Didn't Shamrock lose to some jobber in his last fight? I'd rather watch old people have sex.

    If Kimbo trains for even 2 weeks on how to gapple and defend a takedown, Kimbo wins. Kenny boy doesn't have it on his feet to beat Kimbo and his speed and strength is far past its prime. I actually want Ken to win but i give Kimbo a 3-1 edge.
  • Not to kick Ken but hes to old and way ast his prime. If this "slice" is what everyone is making him out to be then set up a match between him and someone who's not washed up. I mean slice and brock lesnar would be a match that I would definitely shell out money to watch. Then we would see what both of these guys have.

    This is a joke. That's why people would not give Kimbo any credibilty. He has faced either cans or has beens. Nothing against Ken, but when you lose 7 of your last 8 fights and 6 of them by KO/TKO, it's time to retire. EliteXC doesn't even want Rogers as Kimbo's opponent seeing as Kimbo had a hard time finishing James "Glass Chin" Thompson and almost got beat. When the time comes that Kimbo faces a legitimate opponent, Kimbo would lose. Even though I am almost certain that Ken would lose, I would love to see him get a submission win and prove to the whole world that Kimbo is a big joke.
  • Kimbo!! Yea baby! Dirty fight coming up!
  • 13luckystar
    kimbo is going to kick kens a**.... no compition... the last fight ken had was funny enough....he lost to a unknown fight??? now hes taking on a guy that like to fight.... kimbo is what exlite has been looking for and this will be a fight that i would watch over and over...haha... good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • there both jokes
  • ken shamrock is a mma legend but the man is over the hill, tank abbot is a joke the guy came into the kimbo fight with 7-9 record,james tompson was decent over in pride but come on its like they are feeding goats to a lion. put kimbo againest a fighter in there prime.
