Yes, I'll be watching Ken Shamrock-Kimbo Slice this Friday night, but here's why I'd rather watch Ken Shamrock running around in vale tudo shorts with a grenade launcher on cable television.
Shamrock taking on Kimbo was pure carnival matchmaking when it was first concocted by EliteXC nearly seven years ago. In 2015, for the main event of a Bellator MMA tentpole event, it's a cynical, possibly nihilistic bait-and-switch of the highest order.
The 51-year-old Shamrock is somehow only a +220 underdog at the moment for his Bellator 138 headliner in St.
