Brett Rogers Proud To Be A Part Of EliteXC, Verbally Attacks Slice and Shamrock
EliteXC heavyweight contender Brett Rogers has issued a statement through Five Ounces of Pain on being bypassed by UFC hall of famer Ken Shamrock for the opportunity to fight Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Fergusson in the main event of the promotion’s October 4th event on CBS.
In the statement, Rogers, who has had a public feud with Slice since his controversial victory over James Thompson in the main event of EliteXC “Primtime” on CBS in May, verbally attacks both Slice and Shamrock, but not EliteXC, after the matchup was booked instead of Rogers taking on Slice.
“[Slice] is already more myth then Sasquatch, Chupacabra and a [expletive] unicorn combined. Kevin is the black Yeti,” reads a portion of the statement.

As for Elite – this is our home. We are excited to be part of Elite, CBS and Showtime. We are proud to be part of one of fastest-growing and best backed promotions in the world. We are proud to be part of a show that treats their fighters with love and respect and is not afraid to let their fighters compete outside the boundaries.
As for Oct 4th; that was our spot. Shamrock with his name and giant ego butted in line to get a slice of Kevin. At 103 years of age Ken usurped our rightful place against the YouTube champ. Our sincerest hope is that Ken whips Kimbo and then we can finally euthanize the “World’s Most Dangerous Man†and relegate him to some MMA dinosaur exhibit…If Ken proves to be more sham then rock and Fergi beats him, then the Slice hype grows even greater. Dude is already more myth then Sasquatch, Chupacabra and a fucking unicorn combined. Kevin is the black Yeti.
Compared to that your street is Sesame Street. So you can say it is very personal between Brett and Fergi. So go ahead and make us wait while you fight Tank and Shamrock. Hell, why not fight Hackney, Harold Howard, Fred Ettish and the rest of Jurassic MMA? And while your shuckin’ and duckin’ we will be hustlin’ and muscilin’ and when the bell finally tolls the only real question left is … do you wake up looking at canvas or arena lights?
To read Rogers’ statement in it’s entirety head to Five Ounces of Pain.
Haha that was a really funny Press release. I hope Brett can pound out both of these guys, while I don’t really like Brett he isthe lesser of 2 evils in this thing.
haha…anyone think this is just a publicity stunt??? trying to get views
That’s pretty funny right there. All true too lol!
YOUR PROBABLY RIGHT COLE BUT I ENJOYED READING IT… I LIKE HOW HE SUGGESTED TO SEND THEM TO A TAXIDERMIST… I THINK THATS HOW YOU SPELL IT LOL.
lol, this is all elitexc has. period. after that fight, there’s nothing. there’s no real heavyweight competition for rogers and kimbo is the mma playground laughing stock of his weight class. BORING
“So go ahead and make us wait while you fight Tank and Shamrock. Hell, why not fight Hackney, Harold Howard, Fred Ettish and the rest of Jurassic MMA?”
haha jurassica mma
it only makes sense to fight the jurassic as we’re all forgetting kimbo aint no youngin’ himself. old farts, i expect another lay and prey fight. two old men rubbing up on each other until they declare kimbo the winner by split dust of the ass.
Man Brett Rogers is one funny ****er !
He talks better **** than Baroni but i do agree he will kill Kimbo and yes Kimbo is ducking him
haha i like brett now the guy speaks his mind, but i cant help think him kimbo an elite are trying to build up an rivel to get more fans an market the sh!t out of the fight well im a sucker cos i wana see this fight haha
YOU KNOW JOHNBOY. I WAS JUST GONNA SAY THAT? ELITE IS PROBABLY JUST BUILDING UP THE HYPE FOR THIS FIGHT.
“but i do agree he will kill Kimbo and yes Kimbo is ducking him”
yep…easy win against an ‘over -the-hill’ ken. all it’s doing is getting him more practice and more experience before the real fight
I THINK IF SHAMROCK GETS HIM TO THE FLOOR SHAMROCK WILL WIN. BUT THEN AGAIN THE FIGHT IS FIXED AND KIMBO WILL CATCH KEN GOING FOR THE TAKE DOWN…
“So go ahead and make us wait while you fight Tank and Shamrock. Hell, why not fight Hackney, Harold Howard, Fred Ettish and the rest of Jurassic MMA?

Haha he is funny, but has a very good point.
MAN ROGERS IS CLOWNING KIMBO AND I LOVE IT HA HA HA HA…
..they wouldn’t have to fix the fight for ken to get caught. “the world’s most oblivious man”
haha thats funny G
i want kimbo to beat ken now just so him n brett go at it, i think brett is alo takeing his MR T look over the top.
Kimbo needs to fight at least 2 more over the hill/untalented MMA fighters before he has a small chance against Rogers. Rogers is a boxer/wrestler and will destroy Kimbo. Kimbo fighting these type of guys, is not building experience and just makes him look really bad. Rogers spits some funny sh!t.
lol nice….
SO ON MMA LINKER RAMPAGES SAYS HE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR GRIFFIN BECAUSE HES NOT GETTING A REMATCH. WHAT IDIOT.. GRIFFIN ONLY SAID THEY’LL FIGHT AGAIN… YEAH THEY WILL BUT NOT FOR THE BELT. AND HE SAID HE WANTED TO FIGHT WANDY…
CHUCK SAID HE WANTS TO FIGHT RAMPAGE JUST AS BAD AS GETTING THE TITLE BACK…
I don’t like when people talk **** about Sesame Street. Man it’s real gangsta in there !
im bored this has been a slow week for mma news hopefully something interesting happens or becomes announced soon
KRIS KRIS ON THE POLLS PAGE IN THE ELITEXC ON CBS 3 IT SAYS PAUL SHIELDS VS JAKE SHIELDS THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANNA CHANGE IT
@The Gunslinger — Fixed, thanks!
Brett Rogers should go to Affliction. This Elite soap opera is getting less entertaining by the day.
you know what’s funny? this kimbo/ken fight will be on cbs and one of the announcer’s is frank.
Brett is definitely doing a good job getting himself some publicity. First, calling out Kimbo at the press conference after the first CBC Elite XC and now this. I’ll be watching that fight. Then he can go to Affliction and get some big bucks, KOuch.
I agree with him about Elite XC taking care of their fighters and they are not afraid to let their fighters compete on other promotions.
Willy D, you are right on.
See KOuch? You aren’t racist for calling Kimbo a sasquatch. A black guy did it too!
haha this dude is crazy…
i wanna see a 3 way match between him,,sham,,n kimbo!!!!
in a cage with the edges on fire!!!!
LAST MAN ALIVE STATUS!! HAHAHAA
Dana should have hired Rogers…
rogers is a funny man. But he’s not right. Why should Kimbo be fighting the best elite xc has to offer? He’s a rookie. He has 3 fights. He should be fed easy fights for the first 2-3 years of his mma career. You only get better with experience. Look up all your favourite UFC fighters records and tell me if you recognize any of their opponents in their first 6-7 fights…
It’s not Kimbo’s fault Elite XC has made him their poster boy. What’s he gonna say, ‘no please don’t put me in the main event’ …’no please don’t give me that money, I don’t deserve it’
… I’d bet the house on Kimbo rocking the **** out of Brett Rogers. Rogers clearly is extremely overconfident, which is never a good sign heading into a fight.
