Nice. Right on the button.
Seth was good in TUF, glad to see him beat a no discipline having piece of shit like Kimbo.

Damn Rich, I had not heard about the bankruptcy.
Just googled these # Kimbo Slice has no Home - EliteXC Bankrupt Wednesday, 22 October 2008 Kimbo Slice has no Home - EliteXC Bankrupt: The Financial crisis has come to MMA fighting and the premiere CBS Saturday Night Fight's are now bankrupt. EliteXC file for bankruptcy on Oct 4th when Ken Shamrock pulled out of his schedule main event MMA fight against Kimbo Slice. Seems, Kimbo Slice did deliver the knockout blow that night unfortunately it was not in the cage. Kimbo Slice lost to Seth Petruzelli when Petruzelli filled in for Shamrock in the last few hours before fight time. EliteXC promoters, are looking for the Showtime Network to bail them out with a deal and that night were looking to fill the void of Ken Shamrock by choosing former Ultimate Fighting Championship member Seth Petruzelli over young prospect Aaron Rosa to facer Kimbo. UFC President Dana White had something to say about the bankruptcy and has described the direction to Petruzelli as "criminal." “Why set it up for Kimbo to lose in the worst possible way, hurting his stock so much more than if he was beaten on the ground? The casual fan would have forgiven Kimbo if he lost by submission.” Head of fight operations for EliteXC Jeremy Lappen, said some of the criticism is unfair. "Kimbo never claimed to be anything he wasn't. He was a fighter that just participated in only his fourth professional fight," stated Lappen "The promoters kind of hinted to me and they gave me the money to stand and trade with Kimbo” stated Seth Petruzelli “They didn’t want me to take him down. Let’s just put it that way. It was worth my while to try and stand up and punch with him.” The BIG QUESTION is what is going to happen to Kimbo Slice? Will he fight again? The fact still remain that Kimbo Slice draws fans, but Dana White called him a joke! It does appear that Affiliction may pick up Kimbo Slice assuming he still wants to continue his career in MMA. OnlineSportsHandicapping.com will monitor the developments of Kimbo Slice and the MMA community to keep fans posted on any new developments. # Wednesday, October 22, 2008 EliteXC = Bankrupt? Yes, the rumors are true, the mixed martial arts company that made history by appearing on CBS primetime thrice this year has inevitably filed for bankruptcy. After two tumultuous years of existence, the company is admittedly $55 million in the hole. The apparent cause of the organization's filing was bad business decisions such as event overstaffing and administrative mismanagement all around, but what can you expect from the company that bet their entire existence on the success of a bonafide street brawler with no legal fighting credentials and little, if any, actual ground skills? http://albyville.blogspot.com/2008/1...-bankrupt.html # Dana White didn't build UFC overnight. These guys should have known better. |
