Kimbo Slice KTFO by replacement fighter Petruzelli
October 5, 2008 by TG · Leave a Comment
In a stunning (depending on who you ask) upset, former “The Ultimate Fighter” contestant Seth Petruzelli stopped Kimbo Slice just 14 seconds into their fight this past Saturday night. Seth was a last minute replacement for Ken Shamrock who conveniently cut his eye in pre-fight warm ups. While the cut did require stitches it’s up for debate on whether it was an accident or staged to keep the geriatric Shamrock from getting his ass whipped yet again.
UFC President Dana White has always maintained that Kimbo “may be the baddest guy at the BBQ but he’s not the baddest MMA fighter by any stretch”. Dana’s words have proved to be prophetic as the “baddest guy at the BBQ” got his ass dropped by a guy that quit MMA to open up a Smoothie King franchise.
After refusing to touch gloves after the bell for the first round, Kimbo charged the young Petruzelli trying to dominate early. Just a few seconds into this attack he was dropped when while trying to block a kick, caught with a vicious right from Petruzelli that sent the big man down for the count. Seth landed at least a dozen more blows to the beached whale (Kimbo) before the fight was called by referee Troy Waugh.
While digging around Kimbo’s camp looking for answers to help explain this devastating loss we were able to uncover perhaps a key clue. In an exclusive interview, Kimbo’s training partner had this to say:
“Kimbo didn’t want to grapple with anyone capable of really working him hard. So I took it easy on him, you know, basically letting him whoop my ass every time. The tables were turned the day before the fight because just like Charley Murphy got tired and finally whipped Rick James’ ass, I had to do the same to Kimbo. Someone had to put that fool in his place and it just happened to be me. Frankly, I’m glad he got beat.”
While we weren’t able to name the training partner we did get a rare photo of the two sparring -
So it’s pretty clear to us that while Kimbo can beat the hell of a practice dummy and most any dude at the BBQ, there’s obviously a big ass glass jaw behind that big ass beard of his.
