Kimbo Slice warns heavyweights: No one is safe!
Jun 4, 2015 Kimbo kennen we natuurlijk allemaal nog van enkele jaren geleden toen hij de overstap maakte van backyard fighting naar pro-mma. Destijds nog onder de vlag van Bas Rutten.
Kimbo komt weer teruf in actie. Hij zal tijdens Bellator 138 tegen Ken Shamrock vechten. Dit wordt Kimbo's eerste partij in vijf jaar. Zijn laatste partij verloor hij van Matt Mitrione in 2010.
In de tussentijd vocht (en won) Kimbo wel nog enkele bokspartijen, maar toen Bellator hem een gevecht tegen Shamrock aanboden was hij een en al oor.
Maar Kimbo kijkt al verder dan Shamrock en waarschuwd zijn collega's:
Kimbo zegt:
"He would be the fight I would want the most. That was just a door opener to get back in to fight whoever else in the heavyweight division with Bellator. I don't think any heavyweight would be safe, because I'm coming to fight them all."
Kimbo over Ken Shamrock:
"I hope they put him in a padded room so nothing happens to him considering his history of weaseling out of things. That's all I'm hoping for. If there was an opportunity for him to [win] the first time, it would have been back then when my ground game wasn't as sharp as it is now, when I had no defense for takedowns. I just had my brute strength and my ability to throw hand and throw punches by the bunches. Now I have all these dimensions that I'm working with and working on and been working on. There is just no way I see myself losing this fight to Ken Shamrock."
