Kimbo Slice Beats Tank Abbott

The EliteXC bout between Kimbo Slice and Tank Abbott ended the way many though it would and not without controversy. Action was stopped early in th first round and Kimbo was warned about strikes to the back of the head and then stopped again for something being thrown into the cage from the crowd. This seemed to energize Kimbo even more, and it wasn't long after the fight was under way again that Kimbo got the knockout.

Also, Antonio "Big Foot" Silva defeated Ricco "Suave (Seriously)" Rodriguez in a split decision, Scott Smith defeated Kyle Noke and Brett Rogers Defeated James Thompson.

So what's next for Kimbo? Is he going to be taken seriously as a professional MMA fighter? It's difficult to say because this fight was anything but traditional MMA and while Tank Abbott may have been his most formidable professional opponent thus far there are certainly more difficult challenges ahead for Slice.
