(Man, I just hope Ken’s HMO is going to cover this.)
Yesterday’s press conference for Elite XC: Heat provided all the requisite photo ops and pre-packaged quotes. We get to hear every fighter talk about what a great opportunity this is, how much they love Elite XC, etc. But what every good press conference has to have is a quote that just plain doesn’t make sense. Thankfully, Kimbo Slice obliged:
“Ken’s fighting in Florida, which is no place for an old man. I’m mentally prepared and ready to do it and represent the crib. It’s going to be ‘305’ (his area code) all day.”
Really? Florida’s no place for an old man? Perhaps what he meant to say was, Florida is the place for an old man. Senior citizens make up 16.8% of the population there (don’t say you never learn anything on Cage Potato). If anything, Florida is the perfect place for a fighter of advanced age such as Shamrock. He can catch an early bird dinner before the fight, then maybe enjoy some shuffleboard after the bout is over. When he finally comes to, that is.
Speaking of Shamrock, you didn’t think you were going to have a press conference without him putting his public speaking gifts into action, did you?
“Kimbo has gained a lot of notoriety, but, in my opinion, he doesn’t deserve it. Snap, crackle pop. I am going to walk across the ring, hit him on his ugly beard and break his leg. …Most of the talking has all been said, so I will save the rest of my talking until Saturday.’’
Go on, Ken. You show him who’s still the most dangerous man of sometimes confusing pre-fight shit-talking. If only that counted for something inside the cage.

commentsI can't really stand either one of the fighters in "the main event", maybe the Arlovski fight will be worth something? Gina is always fun to watch. Or I can watch fights that I have already seen twice. Tough decisions.
Other then that, most comments here got it right.. Shamrock is far faaar over the hill and will ofc get knocked out easily by slice..
But what if? I mean i guess ken still got a chanse.. Like he says himself. He DOES have some deacent leg locks.. or used to have.
IF ken were to win this fight, however unlikely, what would that say of Elite XC and Slice? I mean Ken has had his ass handed to him by mediocre UFC fighters.. Slice is already questioned as a MMA fighter. If he loses to shamrock he and the organisation who crack him up to be gods gift to MMA, will lose the small shred of credability they have left..
This had me laughing. Nice.
And will people stop talking about this fight as if it were an actual legitimate match in a legitimate organisation please? The reason they picked SHAMrock to fight Slice is because somehow, no matter how many times he gets his ass kicked he still somehow maintains this air of credibility.... He'll lose, per the script, probably to a submission hold... Then Kimbo fans can say "oh, he got ground game bitch' or something vaguely along those lines...
It's comments like these that make me long to see the 'You are posting comments too quickly' error again.
As for me i don't give a rat's *** who will win since none of them is currently from the top tier mma fighters
Slick, that one went right over the top.
