Kimbo vs. Shamrock might not happen

- KEN SHAMROCK HAS 50/50 SHOT OF FIGHTING KIMBO (UPDATE 8:15 ET)
Saturday, October 04, 2008 - by Damon Martin - MMAWeekly.com

The CBS-EliteXC Saturday Night Fights main event fight between Kimbo Slice and Ken Shamrock may be in jeopardy as MMAWeekly.com has been alerted that Shamrock sustained a cut that could force him out of the bout, as confirmed by Melissa Ingram, Shamrock’s assistant.

The cut in question happened within the last 24 hours and apparently doctors are currently checking Shamrock to determine if he can fight or not. According to Ingram the chance of the bout happening is “50/50.â€￾

The cut was sustained due to an accidental head-butt that opened up an old cut during a light training session last night, according to Dave Meltzer of Yahoo! Sports.

If the fight between Shamrock and Kimbo is unable to happen, it is unknown if a replacement could be plugged in and approved by the commission in such a short amount of time.

The loss of the main event between Slice and Shamrock could send shockwaves to the EliteXC show on CBS as many have predicted the future of the promotion could hinge on the success of tonight’s broadcast.

EliteXC officials were unavailable to comment at the time of publication.

(UPDATED - 8:15 P.M. ET)
Sherdog.com confirms that Aaron Rosa, who was scheduled to face Seth Petruzelli on the preliminary fight card, was offered up to EliteXC as a possible replacement for Shamrock. The promotion apparently declined Rosa's offer.

His initial opponent, Seth Petruzelli, however, is rumored to be under consideration if in fact Shamrock is not cleared to face Kimbo in tonight's main event.

Meltzer has more on the story, saying that Frank Shamrock, Ken’s adopted brother, has also been under consideration to face Kimbo. That seems an unlikely scenario considering that he is normally a middleweight and would likely have difficulty getting cleared for a fight at heavyweight against the 235-pound Kimbo.

Yea that's pretty gay. I tuned in at 8 and saw that the fight was off. WTF, ratings drop. But they teamed with Affliction and Arlovski is fighting tonight, so it's not that bad. Tune in if you can, it'll still be a good show

 

[Dre]

I am real upset that Shamrock wasn't able to compete because I wanted to see Kimbo whoop his ass. Good thing that this wasn't on PPV cause I would of been pissed.

 

[xtremebadass]

So far Benji won by TKO and Gina won by Decision. Carano vs. Kobold was one hell of a fight. Carano is one badass chick.

 

[comicgeekelly]

Carano vs. Kobold was a damn good fight. They should get 5 minute rounds, it's stupid for them not too.

 

[xtremebadass]

Man if those were 5 minutes rounds! That would have been a godly fight. I don't know if Gina would have survived on the ground though

haha Kimbo sucks.

Edit:14 seconds? roflmao Kimbo really SUCKS DICK.

 

[xtremebadass]

Kimbo just might have been high in the fight. I mean Petruzeli hit him on the chin, but it knocked Kimbo forward and it took so long to get up. He tried getting up but turned his back on Seth which left the door open for Petruzeli to pound away. It was something to see.

[Ballin]

That looked staged. Petruzeli didn't hit him that hard and Kimbo fell forward. Well, Kimbo's 3-1 now.

Good event though, I enjoyed it.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

So whats gonna happen with the v-Bookie...Will I get anything or not...

I mean I'm sure Shamrock would have beat Kimbo any damn way...you know.
