Kimbo Slice loses his fight to Seth Petruzelli


 

Kimbo Slice TKO’d by fill-in EliteXC fighter Seth Petruzelli in just 14 seconds Saturday night, handing the former street fighter his first mixed martial arts loss.

Petruzelli, 28, had been slated to fight on the undercard against Aaron Rosa at the BankAtlantic Center. But he was bumped up to the heavyweight main event of the EliteXC “CBS Saturday Night Fights” card when the athletic commission sidelined Ken Shamrock. The UFC Hall of Famer needed six stitches over his left eye after an old cut reopened when he was bumping heads warming up earlier in the day.

Petruzelli (11-4), took advantage of his opportunity of a lifetime. Just second in, he scored with a front kick on an incoming Slice (3-1), and followed it up with a lightning-quick right hand that knocked Slice to the mat. Realizing he had the much-bigger Slice in trouble, Petruzelli pounced, firing off a dozen unanswered shots before referee Troy Waugh stopped the bout at the 14-second mark.

Petruzelli’s previous biggest MMA claim to fame was his appearance on Season 2 of The Ultimate Fighter reality show. Now, however, he has much more to brag about - a win over one of the most recognized MMA fighters in the world, although one whose skill isn’t equal to his fame.
