Kimbo Slice Knocked Out by Seth Petruzelli – Full Video

Kimbo Slice Knocked Out by Seth Petruzelli in 14 seconds. This was Kimbo’s first loss – and what a loss it was…
Kevin Ferguson (born on February 8, 1974), better known as Kimbo Slice, is a Miami, Florida-based street fighter turned mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter. He first appeared in several filmed underground fights which have spread primarily on the Internet. Kimbo has since left street fighting behind and is now putting his efforts towards becoming a professional mixed martial arts fighter. Rolling Stone called Slice “The King of the Web Brawlers”
Kimbo Slice began his career in unsanctioned street fights. A notable street fight was with Sean Gannon, a former Boston Police officer who trains in MMA. In a brutal fight Kimbo lost for the first time. [6] The popularity of the fight, which was distributed throughout the internet, propelled both men into the MMA spotlight.
To prepare for sanctioned MMA fights, Slice was trained by retired MMA fighter Bas Rutten. Slice made his sanctioned MMA debut against former WBO Heavyweight champion boxer Ray Mercer at Cage Fury Fighting Championships 5, in Atlantic City on June 23, 2007. The match was scheduled as a three-round exhibition utilizing all professional rules of MMA combat. Slice defeated Mercer with a guillotine choke at 1:12 into the first round.[7] In a post-fight interview, Slice stated that he would like to fight David “Tank” Abbott. Abbott, who was a spectator, stood up from his seat and accepted the call out. One of the matchmakers for CFFC asked Slice for his assurance so that an October 12 bout at Cage Fury Fighting Championships 6 between Slice and “Tank” Abbott could be organized. This event was later canceled due to a promotion dispute. On October 11, 2007, ProElite announced that they had signed Slice to a deal and that he would make his debut on the November 10, 2007 EliteXC.[8] Originally set to make his professional MMA debut against Mike Bourke, the reformed street fighter was set to face Bo Cantrell after Bourke sustained a shoulder injury.[9] Kimbo defeated Cantrell 19 seconds into the first round by submission due to strikes.
Slice will be featured on The Iron Ring, a new television series airing on BET which features MMA prospects. Slice will be a part of the selection process for the participants.[10]
On February 16, 2008, Kimbo fought Tank Abbott in the main event at EliteXC: Street Certified. He won by KO 43 seconds into the first round due to strikes. At the fight his weight was announced at an all-time low of 234lbs, a far cry from his street fighting days of 280lbs.
On May 31, 2008, Kimbo fought in the main event of the first ever mixed martial arts event shown on prime time network television, EliteXC: Primetime. Though one of the judges had each fighter winning one of the first two rounds, Kimbo’s opponent James Thompson won both on total points by repeatedly taking down Slice and grounding and pounding. In the opening seconds of the third round, however, Kimbo threw a haymaker to Thompson’s left ear, which ruptured Thompson’s cauliflower. This was soon followed by three unanswered punches to a standing Thompson, which led to a referee stoppage and a controversial win for Slice. Fellow EliteXC competitor Brett Rogers was particularly critical of Slice’s victory, calling Slice’s performance “garbage” in a post fight interview.
A Kimbo Slice vs. Ken Shamrock fight was signed for October 4, 2008 to take place at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida as part of CBS’ “Saturday Night Fights”. Seth Petruzelli replaced Shamrock due to a cut to the left eye during warm ups only hours before the fight was to take place. Petruzelli defeated Slice by TKO 14 seconds into the bout.

Why do people think Brazillians love MMA? (please read)?
I am Brazillian in origin but living in the UK at the moment. I often get the impression that MMA fans think Brazil is crazy about MMA. This is not true, in Brazil MMA is still a very niche sport and has only recently been added to a major TV sports station. In Brazil, even the word MMA is very unknown and is often called "Vale Tudo" (anything goes) … it is much like how people who do not know MMA call it cage fighting.
Because of it’s association with Vale Tudo MMA is often looked down upon in my country. Although it has many fans people view it as a form off thug fighting, the kind that criminals do. It is often seen as unproper to talk about MMA in public because it still carries this stigma. The media in Brazil rarely bring MMA up in the news unless the police have shut down an illegal fight ring.
People outside Brazil must think Anderson SIlva and Machida are superstars here. This is untrue. While they are celebrities they are more in the B-category of celebrities. Most MMA fighters build their successes abroad. The most well-known MMA fighter in brazil would be Vitor Belfort because he is dating a famous brazillian dancer. Nog is also famous now because he is in boxing now.
In general combat sports are looked down upon in Brazil. We prefer lighter sports such as Soccer, Basketball, Volleyball, golf .etc. Boxing is the most popular combat sport but comes in a long line after other sports. capoeira is our msot love style but only because it is a dance. Most fighting styles from Brazil are not reguarded well … such as Brazillian Jiu Jitsu which has long been used by criminals who mindlessy beat up citizens. It is seen as dirty fighting only a low-life would use. The Gracie family are often known as the greatest of all scum for glorifying their criminal heritage.
It has very many fans today in Brazil but they are seperatted by long distances and it is not hugely popular.
People think that Brazilians love MMA because their Jiu Jitsu is put to such practical use there. They have seen a long string of champions rise because it is a martial art that is very much a part of the competitive sports culture here. Guys like Royce Gracie or Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira are part of that history. Since they are the most well known Brazilians in the states, they are cultural representatives for your country, whether most Brazilians like it or not.
I wouldn’t worry about it though, because most Americans like Anderson Silva or Nogueira so by proxy, they like Brazilian stuff. Who knows, it may be a segway to get people from around the world interested into less violent parts of the culture.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion company based in the United States that hosts numerous events worldwide. It is the most successful MMA promotion in the world with many of the sport’s top fighters under contract.[2] The UFC has five weight-divisions and enforces the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts.[3] Dana White serves as the president of the UFC; Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta control its parent company, Zuffa, LLC.[4][5][6]
Inspired by vale tudo tournaments in Brazil,[7] the UFC and the sport of MMA have roots in the ancient Olympic combat sport of Pankration in 648 B.C.[8] The UFC held its first competition in Denver, Colorado in 1993. Showcasing fighters of different disciplines—including boxing, Brazilian jiu jitsu, wrestling, Muay Thai and other styles—the UFC sought to identify the most effective martial art in a real fight. After a period of political backlash, the UFC gradually underwent reform by embracing stricter rules and achieving sanctioning with State Athletic Commissions.
With a cable-television deal and expansion into Canada, Europe, Australia[9] the Middle East[10] and new markets within the United States, the UFC as of 2010 has gained in popularity, along with greater mainstream-media coverage. As of 2010 viewers can access UFC programming on pay-per-view television, in the U.S. on Spike and Versus, in the United Kingdom and Ireland on ESPN, as well as in over 130 countries and 20 different languages worldwide.[11] I Dont Not Own Any Content of This Video. ~#
