Kimbo Slice -350
Ken Shamrock +280

Showtime, which currently owns more than 20% of ProElite, has loan an additional $1 million to the company. On October 4th EliteXC Saturday Night Fights, Kimbo Slice is a -350 MMA Online Sports Betting Odds favorite to defeat the legendary Ken Shamrock (+250).

Money in the bank – Put your money on Kimbo .

Ken will be laying down for the money.

Dave5555,

I think you are wrong about if Ken beats Kimbo there will be no more Elite XC. Elite XC, will go back to Showtime, and lose the CBS deal. I pay $10 a month for Showtime, only for the MMA fights. On CBS, there needs to be commercials sold to make money. No sponsors, no money. Showtime is known for boxing already, so it’s already generating money and viewers on Saturday night for fights.

tollfinder,

The fighter tree, I like that. The other national MMA organizations are great (Elite XC, DREAM, Affliction, Strikeforce, old IFL). This where many up and coming fighters start then head to the BIG Show, UFC. And they are also where the fighters go after they leave the UFC. It’s a win win for everyone. UFC laid off a lot of fighters in 2008, there isn’t room for everyone. I’m sure Dana doesn’t want these fighters to go homeless. That’s what Vince McMahon is famous for. He uses up the “wrestlers” then spits them out.

I second what Surfingk5 says !

Problem for Kenny, if he wins, there will be NO more EliteXC, because Kimbo is EliteXC.

Without Kimbo, EliteXC does not exist, and where will Ken get his next job !!

Get it, next ‘JOB’

Brandon i must say that if you are going to call Ken a rpo wrestler then you are not a fan of mma. Arlovski was the champ in the UFC and is still one of the best fighters in the world so there are other promotions that have talent equal to the UFC and were do you think the UFC get their fighter for the fighter tree?

They only washups on that card are kimbo and Ken. There’s one reason I want to see Kimbo win, because he will keep that big spotlight on MMA. It’ll keep more people interested and keep people watching these free cards. Other than that, I would love to see Shamrock beat the hell out of that hack.

timcat,

FYI, I love the UFC. I PPV all the events, tiVo Ultimate Fighter, Ultimate Fight Nights, and the WEC events. But I also appreciate DREAM, Elite XC, Affliction, etc.

Competition is good for the sport. UFC can’t employ everyone, so there needs to be other places for fighters to go.
