Kimbo Slice and Ken Shamrock had one of the worst fights in MMA history earlier this year but that doesn’t seem to stop Bellator from planning to bring Kimbo back for a few fights in 2016. In fact they are hoping that Kimbo can match up against pro wrestler & current MMA fighter Bobby Lashley in his next fight.
“We’re going to fight him early next year and I think next year, you’re going to see Kimbo Slice fight three times in Bellator,” Coker said. “We might take a look at maybe the winner of that fight (Lashley vs. Thompson) and Kimbo. I’m not promising, I’m just saying.”
The saving grace for Bellator is that they usually stack these cards with great MMA fights, which helps viewers forget the sideshow that is the main event.
We will see what Kimbo has left against an athlete that is still in his physical prime.
