Exactly.

He was able to hit Kimbo right on his button. The punch wasn't hard but that's all it takes. After Kimbo hit the ground it was over and the world saw through all the BS.
I knew this would happen sooner or later. Elite XC has been putting Kimbo up against bums. He almost lost against the half brain dead James Thompson. If Shamrock would have been allowed to fight I believe he would have beaten Slice anyway. Yes he is washed up and done as a fighter but even he would have still won.
I have respect for Kimbo and what he's accomplished. Hopefully this is a wake up call for him and Elite XC... put Kimbo in the octagon with a skilled fighter that isn't washed up and he'll get dominated. Hopefully this will make him train a lot harder and really try to master MMA. I would love to see Kimbo Slice become a legitimate MMA fighter. He still needs A LOT of work but nothing is impossible.
Elite XC figured they'd throw in some nobody and let Kimbo dominate him and give the crowd what they wanted, to see Kimbo Slice knock someone out since Shamrock wasn't allowed to fight. Petruzelli's a skilled MMA fighter and just made a name for himself. Unless you're a hardcore Ultimate Fighter fan did you know who Seth Petruzelli was before tonight?
