Kimbo Slice To Go Head To Head With Ken Shamrock
44 year old Ken Shamrock will be the next opponent for the acclaimed street fighter - Kimbo Slice. Their fight will be the main event and will be aired on CBS on October 4th. Kimbo Slice has quickly become a popular fighter after many of his street fights as well as MMA fights have been aired and viewed on YouTube.
Shamrock has been on a losing streak for some time now. In fact his last fight was on March 8th in which he was knocked out in 3:26 against Robert “Buzz” Berry. Both fighters have generated much publicity and a large amount of viewers.
While Shamrock’s record in the ring hasn’t been impressive after leaving the sport in 1997 to go into pro wrestling for three years, he still poses some danger on the ground. He significantly injured the knees and ankles of Don Frye in a 2002 battle in Japan, and even though he lost quickly to Rich Franklin in 2005, his submission work in the first minute did put Franklin on crutches for a week.
But he’s been prone to quick knockout losses and a power game that made him a star dating back to UFC 1 in 1993 hasn’t been evident much in the past decade. It will be great to see which one of these powerful fighters will end up on top.
