KIMBO VS KEN SHAMROCK

August 25, 2008

Yup, Kimbo is fighting Ken Shamrock on CBS on Oct 4.  According to Sherdog’s website and MMA guru hottie Loretta Hunt this is the fight they have put together.  I am a huge HUGE MMA fan and i have followed Kimbo’s “career” since he was a street brawler in Miami. I remember waiting with glee  for a link the night he fought Sean Gannon, needless to say i am a bit saddened by this match up. I know Elite XC needs ratings and everybody including my Grandma knows who Ken Shamrock is, but come on man, this is silly. Ken is an old has been who has developed a glass jaw who has lost his last five fights.  He is serving no purpose but to provide a body for Kimbo to floor. 

I love Kimbo. he is a rock star. I even have a t-shirt sporting his mug with a full on shiny gold grill, but this is a waste of time.  Mind you ill be there with glee in front of my TV watching his circus act because that’s the kind of guy that i am. I was just hoping for more from CBS and Kimbo. This is what middle america is going to get as a serving of what MMA is and that is sad. This is nothing more than a “When Animals Attack” side show crap for quick cheap ratings that will do nothing more than hinder the true sport of MMA.
