Kimbo Slice will oppose Ken Shamrock in EliteXC’s third edition of “Saturday Night Fights” on October 4th at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida in a live broadcast for the CBS Network. The 44 year old Shamrock, a former WWE and UFC superstar, beat out Sean Gannon, who had a legendary You Tube fight with Kimbo; and Brett Rogers, who challenged Kimbo after Kimbo's last fight.

 

But Shamrock has lost his last 5 fights in a row since 2005, even losing to unknown Robert Berry at Cage Rage 25 in March.

However, Shamrock is still a name to the mainstream public, and the fight is less than six weeks away. In terms of marketability and hype, this was the best move for ProElite to make.
