Ken Shamrock Set to Face Bobby Lashley in MMA Fight

In a pretty shocking move, it's been announced that Roy Jones Jr.'s "March Badness" hybrid boxing and MMA show, that 2 former WWE stars will face off in an MMA match, as "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock will take on MMA newcomer Bobby Lashley. This is the very first time (to our knowledge) that 2 former WWE stars have faced off in MMA. Shamrock being a former WWE Intercontinental Champion, and Lashley most recently being the ECW Champion before leaving WWE. Lashley only recently made the transition from WWE to MMA, and easily won his MMA debut. Shamrock just fought a couple of weeks ago at the show "War Gods" which he promoted, and got his first win in a few years. Although Lashley is new to MMA, he may just be the favorite due to his size, skill, youth, etc. Shamrock is an MMA legend, but in his mid 40's, Lashley will be coming at him full force, maybe even more than Kimbo Slice would have in the scheduled Shamrock vs. Slice fight that ended up not happening. Dana White has said that he has no interest in Lashley coming to MMA, and doesn't think Brock Lesnar's success can be captured by another wrestler, but if Lashley scores a win over Shamrock, people will notice, and doors will be opened for Lashley, and he would no doubt be on to bigger and better things. It may be premature to think about now, but could a huge Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley showdown for the UFC Heavyweight title be happening in the future? Lashley's first big recognition will depend on this Shamrock fight at "March Badness" on March 21.

Kimbo Slice Puts Tank Abbot DOWN at EliteXC!

The dream fight of sorts has gone down, and Kimbo Slice dominated once again, over the legendary brawler Tank Abbot. This fight was something that some MMA organizations wouldn;t touch, due to both fighters having no real discipline other than "brawling." On the other hand, as judging by the fans reaction, it was a welcome change of pace to throw two big bad asses in the cage, and see who would win. The match was about what you'd expect, with punches being thrown from the get go. Kimbo nailed some shots early, but the referee momentarily stopped things due to Kimbo hitting Tank in the back of the head, but as soon as things were resumed, Kimbo unloaded once again, knocking Tank down a few times, before NAILING him, and finally putting him face down into the mat. The fight was short and sweet, with an electric crowd, and Kimbo was the huge favorite. Dana White supposedly doesn't think this guy has the credentials to come to UFC, but he's got something special, that's earned him a huge following, and with this win over Tank, Kimbo climbs the ladder even further, and EliteXC has something red hot on their hands with Kimbo. Now the question is, who's next for Kimbo? Well this was talked about at the end of the show, and it just so happens another UFC legend has signed to debut next month with EliteXC, and the commentators agreed....what a fight it would be, if we got to see Kimbo Slice.....take on, the World's Most Dangerous Man....Ken.....Shamrock. Sure some would say Ken is past his prime, but at this point, Kimbo vs. anyone with name value, and especially someone skilled like Shamrock, would do HUGE numbers in the MMA world right now!
