Who Should Kimbo Slice Fight This October?
There are many fighters that the EliteXC should put Kimbo up against. Thing is they just wont do it. Kimbo Slice is too big of a marketing tool for them. The debut show of “Saturday Night Fights” which featured a main event fight between Kimbo Slice and James Thompson was the most watched MMA event in the US. Unfortunately for the EliteXC their numbers for the second show had took a 40% drop, the show did not feature Kimbo Slice in a fight.
So the main reason the EliteXC will not put Kimbo in a fight against a high level heavyweight MMA fighter is due to the numbers. If Kimbo Slice was to lose a fight he could lose all credibility.
EliteXC could take a risk though, putting Kimbo up against a really great heavyweight fighter. Why not try giving him a title shot against EliteXC’s first heavyweight champion Antonio Silva? Kimbo would get annihilated but maybe if it was a main event fight a new EliteXC front-man could be created.
Of course Kimbo Slice could also fight Brett Rogers which would prove to be an interesting fight for all of the five minutes it would last. I am pretty sure that Rogers would rip him to pieces in just the first round. Both Brett Rogers and Kimbo Slice had some words to exchange after the debut show on CBS.
The two fighters above would be the best fights for fans to see where Kimbo actually stands in the EliteXC heavyweight division. Chances are though that the EliteXC will select a fighter with a big ZERO on the experience scale just so Kimbo can impress again.
