Kimbo Slice vs. Ken Shamrock
The fight that is scheduled to air on CBS is reportedly mismatched. Shamrock is no doubt a MMA legend, but he has not won a match in the last four years and may be endangering his health by taking this fight. Allegedly, Shamrock's only purpose in this fight is to give Kimbo Slice more exposure and to buy some time for EliteXC to find him a more suitable opponent.

Kimbo first rose to fame as a street fighter on YouTube and has been trying to gain some respect in the MMA world. However, he has only been giving beatable opponents to fight so far. MMA fighter Brett Rogers, a more suitable opponent, wanted Shamrock's spot for the October 4th fight and even challenged Slice to fight back in May.

It is now rumored that Rogers will be fighting the winner of the Slice vs. Shamrock fight sometime in the future. If Slice can pull off a win against Rogers he may end the battle of proving his legitimacy as a fighter. However, a loss against Shamrock or Rogers may cut his MMA career short.

I think people are underestimating Shamrock. He has a lot more experience in the ring than Slice. Plus Kimbo wasn't even able to knock David Blaine down in one punch, do you really think he will be able to take down an experienced MMA heavyweight legend?
