Bellator announces Kimbo Slice vs Ken Shamrock

LMAO

LOL

this is THE BEST bum fight ever!

Lets get rid of tournaments and have freak show fights between two guys who are way past their primes

This is the future of the sport

I was a little excited about the Kimbo comeback but this is pathetic.

When the fight was originally set up in Elite XC it was an ok match...but in 2015 it's a joke.

Bring back Bjorn.

Did they have to bring in 20 years past prime Ken? Kimbo vs Minowaman or Pudzilla would have been cooler.

Hope Ken makes it to the cage this time. Was crazy how there first fight was cancelled.

^ Yeah. This was the matchup that lead to EliteXC's death. Ken gets cut warming up on fight night. Seth comes in and deads both Kimbo and EliteXC. Hilarious. I hope Bellator has Seth on stand-by just in case.

If Ken pulls out, maybe he's on standby:

ridiculous match up

Bellator is turning into TNA where it became all about Hulk Hogan and the well known guys over the up coming prospects.

lol

RIP Bellator

cmon its a ufc hall of famer isn't it..? BOW DOWN TO THIS MATCH UP ! didn't this fight get set up before..? I ...never mind.

I'm close to being done with Bellator. This is ridiculous. Can't imagine this happening in any other sport.

Coker's hands are tied. The brass at SPIKE want ratings only and have no want for legitimacy to their main competition. This is worse than being B-league. 3A baseball teams don't bring a 60 year old Nolan Ryan out of retirement just for his name value. It makes a mockery out of serious sports competition.

I'm thinking SPIKE may have gotten an ultimatum from above at VIACOM. "Either MMA becomes a real profit center or it's gone. No more losing money, that's it!" Could 'not' be more clear with this.

I  also refuse to watch any more American mediocre-skilled, cage-humping, zero-striking-technique, non-submission attempting pieces of crap. That goes for the UFC or anywhere else. I'm through.

Yeah for real hopefully Seth is there. Was a strange day in MMA and which definitely hurt EliteXC.

That was one of my most vivid memories of MMA, mainly because it is the fastest fight to hit youtube, ever. It was such a pain to have fight cards a week after they happened on youtube, this one had multiple uploads under 15 minutes after the fact. I know it's so cliche to say "wow i cant believe it was so long ago" but that applies here because of how well I remember it. Most other MMA memories are pretty foggy for me, so I'm not surprised they were years ago.
