Following in EliteXC’s failed 2008 footsteps, Bellator MMA has decided to hitch its wagon to Ken Shamrock and Kimbo Slice.
Shamrock will meet Ferguson in the Bellator 138 main event on Friday at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, as the 51-year-old Ultimate Fighting Championship hall of famer returns to the cage for the first time in nearly five years. The two heavyweights were originally booked to face one another at EliteXC “Heat” on Oct. 4, 2008. However, Shamrock suffered a cut the day of the fight, leaving Seth Petruzelli to fill in as a last-minute replacement.
