Kimbo Slice KO’d In 14 Seconds

Seth Petruzelli (11-4) def. Kimbo Slice (3-1)

Kimbo Slice, a street brawler who gained fame via youtube, was knocked out in a mere 14 seconds Seth Petruzelli.  Seth stepped in at the last minute when Ken Shamrock sustained a gash above his left eye during training Friday night.

After landing one solid punch Kimbo hit the mat ... the fight was called when he could not muster a defense.

Why do I care?

Gina Carano: Saves Fight Ticket

Gina Carano (7-0) def. Kelly Kobold (16-3-1) via Unanimous decision

This fight was worth watching. The standing exchanges were crisp, but Kobold was able to slow down the match at will by bulling Carano into the cage. She constantly went for takedowns but was only successful once, late in the second round. Carano clinched the fight late in the third round with hard kicks to the face of Kobold, who was cut over her right eye.

Kobold was more aggressive but Carano looked good whenever they exchanged especially when she used her jab.  

They saved the fight card.

Another fight of note?

Andrei Arlovski (15-5) def. Roy Nelson (13-3) via Knockout

Arlovski’s superior speed and footwork standing made the difference in Round 2 as he used punches, kicks and knees on his slower opponent. Arlovski had Nelson in trouble after a flurry and finished him with a right.

The crowd booed the first round, which saw Nelson control it by bulling Arlovski into the fence. Arlovski, the former UFC champion, looks to be the most logical opponent for Fedor Emelianenko on Affliction’s next card and looked good in the last minute of the fight, but Arlovski had a difficult time in the first round against the former IFL champion.
