Kimbo Slice and Ken Shamrock settled their “Unfinished Business” on Friday night in St. Louis, Missouri as Slice won by TKO in the first round.
Shamrock would be able to get the fight to the ground early and looked for a rear-naked choke. Slice would eventually be able to escape the submission and would finish the fight on the feet shortly after surviving the submission attempt.

So apparently this is happening. I feel dumb trying to handicap Kimbo-Ken. May as well embrace that. Kimbo wins.

Ironically, Shamrock ends up with a cut above his eye. … Icey Mike sighting in the cage, btw.
