Kimbo's EliteXC Main Event Loss to Seth Petruzelli Not an Upset
To anyone that follows the sport of Mixed Martial Arts, it should have been no surprise when Kimbo Slice folded up like a lawn chair on Saturday night against Seth Petruzelli.

Rear Naked News Previews EliteXC "Heat"
I guess Villasenor's big win over Phil Baroni impressed the EliteXC brass. Rua was the man Lawler defeated to win the belt, and it's not like the first fight was a cakewalk. A rematch makes sense, but with EliteXC, you have to suppress the urge to think logically. Kimbo Slice vs. Ken Shamrock

Rumor central around the MMA world is that Tito Ortiz is considering leaving the UFC after the Machida fight. Ortiz had some interesting comments in his interview with Mauro Ranallo. I think the UFC needs Tito as much as Tito needs the UFC.
