Keep an Eye on Kimbo

What a name. Kimbo Slice. Born as Kevin Ferguson, Kimbo Slice is a 34-year-old former street fighter. They call him the "internet sensation" because the street fights he performed in were taped and put onto YouTube. Kimbo is 6'2 and 250 lbs. Slice is simply a ridiculous fighter. He combines unbelievable strength with amazingly quick hands. I've watched the videos and the way Slice fights is incredible. He retired from street fighting and started training to become a professional fighter.

Kimbo was trained by former MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fighter Bas Rutten. Kimbo's first professional fight in MMA took place last November. The event was promoted by EliteXC. In the main event, Kimbo fought Bo Cantrell. I wouldn't call it much of a fight because Kimbo defeated Cantrell with a TKO 19 seconds into the match. I watched this fight last November and it was the greatest form of entertainment in the category of professional sports fighting.

Last night, I saw a commercial for a fight between Kimbo Slice and Tank Abbott. The event was on Showtime and Kimbo didn't fight until around 11:30 p.m. It was a very short fight because Kimbo knocked out Abbott 43 seconds into the match. Both of Kimbo's professional fights in MMA have been knockouts 19 seconds and 43 seconds in the 1st round. I don't think there has been a fighter as dominant as Kimbo Slice since Mike Tyson. I am interested to see if Slice continues to fight in MMA, or if he becomes a professional boxer. The matches are very exciting to watch if you are a fan of ultimate fighting or boxing. You can find Kimbo's fights on YouTube.
