Internet fighting sensation Kimbo Slice made the transition into professional mixed martial arts in November of 2007 for Elite XC with a TKO win over Andy Cantrell. Three months later he fought and beat Tank Abott by first round knockout. Three months after that he fought and beat James Thompson by third round knockout. He had proven himself as a legitimate force in the heavyweight division.

Slice was then scheduled to fight the legendary Ken Shamrock at Elite XC 10 in October of 2008. The two weighed in against each other, but Shamrock suffered a cut warming up and the decision was made last minute to have Slice fight Seth Petruzelli who was scheduled on the under card.

Petruzelli caught Slice with a solid punch just fourteen seconds into the fight and handed him his first professional loss.
