Kimbo Slice returns versus Ken Shamrock at June Bellator event
Seven years later and now Kimbo Slice is again scheduled to fight Ken Shamrock in Bellator after a five year hiatus from MMA after a short run in the UFC.
Kimbo Slice’s first professional MMA loss came at the hands of Seth Petruzelli who stepped in for Ken Shamrock due to a fight night injury. That was seven years ago and now Slice is again scheduled to fight Shamrock after a five year hiatus from MMA after a short run in the UFC:
Bellator MMA officials have confirmed that a nontitle heavyweight fight between Slice (birth name Kevin Ferguson) and Shamrock will headline a Spike TV event on June 20 inside Scottrade Center in St. Louis.
The two were booked to headline an event promoted by now-defunct organization EliteXC on Oct. 4, 2008, in Sunrise, Florida. Shamrock withdrew from the fight the day of the event, however, citing an accidental cut suffered during prefight warm-ups.
In a release, Slice said, “Ken [Shamrock], I owe you this a– whooping. No more running! No more hiding!”
