Ken Shamrock NOT cleared to Fight Tonight
Posted by Larry Csonka on 10.04.2008
The fight with Kimbo is officially off…
After a day of going back and forth, the commission doctor just ruled Ken Shamrock unable to compete in tonight's main event. Shamrock had a previous cut opened over his eye when training last night with Dan Freeman, who accidentally head butted him.
Right now Kimbo Slice's people have not agreed to Seth Petruzelli as a replacement. There is a chance that Frank Shamrock could still take Ken's place, but there are the issues that he is not licensed to fight in Florida, the weight difference and also the fact Frank has not trained for the fight.
WTF! Good thing this is a free show or EliteXC would be fucked. I doubt Frank would even be considered to replace his brother since Frank has a legit chance of making Kimbo his bitch, despite the weight difference.

Why is shamrock training (sparring) right before the fight? This is
ridiculous and seriously diminishes EliteXC's reputation as a
legitimate MMA organization. I can hear Dana White roaring over this
boondoggle, he couldn't have written a better script for his
"competition" to look like a bunch of idiots.

I've seen Shamrock throw in the towel before, literally, but this is just pathetic.
