• Kimbo Slice talks EliteXC, Boxing, and hunting down a writer with Dan Le Batard

Knocking guys out on the Internet sensation turned Mixed Martial Artist Kimbo Slice spoke to Dan Le Batard Wednesday on 790 The Ticket. Slice answers all of the important questions: what was it like getting knocked out by a guy with pink hair, where does your career go from here, and was the fight fixed?

The folks over at Sherdog pulled some quotes from the interview including Kimbo on his frame of mind going into the Petruzelli fight.

“They [EliteXC] had us under the impression that the fight wasn’t happening. When they said it wasn’t going to happen, that blood I’ve been holding on the whole time while I was training, I kind of let it go a little bit,” Ferguson said. “I was a little bit depressed, but I kind of had a relaxed mind frame and everything about me was no longer in fight mode.”

It sounds like Kimbo’s making excuses but if you listen to the whole interview, he gives Seth Petruzelli his props and even said it was cool that Seth dressed as Kimbo for Halloween.

The most interesting parts of the interview are Slice briefly mentioning he might start boxing, and that he’s on the lookout for the guy that wrote Kimbo Slice’s a sissy. Kimbo’s career in the ring would be like his career in EliteXC but better. He could still fight tomato cans and the traditional boxing style would fit him better. Kimbo Slice has a good sized following so there should be a promoter out there that’s willing to give it a try.

• The man that knocked out Kimbo Slice dressed as Kimbo Slice for Halloween

Seth Petruzelli was an unknown mixed martial artist until he knocked out Kimbo Slice in 14 seconds in October. Petruzelli is still feelin’ himself after his surprising victory, so much so, that he dressed as Kimbo Slice for Halloween.

Before anyone gets pissed off about Seth Petruzelli being in blackface, chill out. He beat Kimbo Slice’s ass. He’s allowed to dress up like the man. Now this Chocolate Axe commercial is another story.

H/T: The Big Lead

Internet sensation Kimbo Slice was served his first Elite XC/MMA loss Saturday night via a technical knockout from the hands of Seth Petruzelli. The referee stopped the fight after 14 seconds with Slice lying on his back and bleeding over his left eye.

It’s a damn shame when the video is 35 times longer than the actual action. I don’t know what the loss says about Kimbo Slice. It could have just been a bad night, and he was caught off guard by Ken Shamrock getting scared injured at the last minute, or maybe he’s out of his league. We won’t know until after his next few fights.

I hope this puts an end to the “MMA is better than boxing” talk. In boxing there would’ve been a count, and from there who knows how it goes? Maybe Kimbo clears his head and we’re treated to a Hagler-Hearns thriller. Instead, a guy gets punched in the face for a few seconds and the fight ends. XCiting.

Kimbo Slice is living the American dream. He’s gone from street fighter to working out with LaDainian Tomlinson and being a pitchman for EA Sports. Here’s Kimbo’s latest commercial for Freestyle’s Facebreak.

The game looks cool and Kimbo got to hold down the spot instead of a brief cameo like he had in the Madden commercial.

The game has Freestyle in the name so you know Snoop Dogg is down with Facebreakers.

There has been talk of former Heavyweight champion Mike Tyson making a comeback in the ring or the octagon. He’s been spotted at gyms traning in what people believe is preparation for a fight. The talk is mostly rumors and wishful thinking by fight fans, but now Tyson has spoken and killed any thoughts of his return.

“No, I’m finished with fighting. I’m done,” he answered quickly.

Boxers seem like the athletes that have the hardest time letting go of the game. I hope Mike means it, but with his financial problems I wouldn’t rule out Tyson boxing Evander Holyfield, fighting Kimbo Slice, or wrestling an alligator. Everybody knows he would lose all three but people would still pay to watch.

Mike Tyson,
boxing,
fighting

EA Sports combined random fans, NFL stars, Kimbo Slice, and bagpipes playing Amazing Grace in this commercial for the 20th edition of Madden football. The game’s Tuesday release helped shares of EA jump 2.2%, and guaranteed that video game junkies will remain without girlfriends through the winter.

It’s been reported by AOL Fanhouse and Sports by Brooks that CBS and EliteXC told Kimbo Slice he couldn’t the Reality Kings during his network television debut. A network that shows tons of boner pill and alcohol commercials isn’t down with people being directed to a porn site? That’s funny. Even funnier is that one of the sport’s biggest stars, Tito Ortiz, is dating Jenna Jameson. It looks like MMA and porn go hand in hand or something in something..

Kimbo Slice’s involvement with Reality Kings isn’t new. I found out about it by accident a while back. I got a call from a buddy one day, and he told me that somebody we use to work with is doing porn. I live in the valley so that’s like being told somebody you use to work with now works at the bank.. Then he sent me a link to a video. In the beginning of the vid, Kimbo and some other dudes are standing around in togas and then my former co-worker appears.

Here’s some more of Kimbo chillin with the porn crowd:

Kimbo Slice out and about in Los Angeles:

Kimbo Slice’s workout routine consists of bodyguarding porn shoots, sipping champagne, and tracking down the bomb azi. If he’s really partyin that hard, all of Bas Rutten’s knowledge and training isn’t gonna do Kimbo any good.
