Seth Petruzelli

Seth “The Silverback” Petruzelli is the Florida fighter and Ultimate Fighter 2 alumnus who became famous overnight in 2008 by knocking out Kimbo Slice in 14 seconds for EliteXC on CBS. He was a late replacement for Ken Shamrock, and a later radio comment about being encouraged to stand with Kimbo caused a scandal that helped finish the promotion.

He fought for the UFC, WEC, EliteXC, King of the Cage and Bellator and later signed with WWE as a developmental wrestler. CagePotato covered the Kimbo upset and the controversy that followed.
