Kimbo Slice Fights Ken Shamrock

Kimbo Slice, the Internet marvel who transformed from backyard brawler to MMA fighter and whose fights were on YouTube to mixed martial artist, to whose fights are on Showtime and pay-per-view, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and an interesting name came up as a potential future opponent. When Kimmel asked, "Is Mike Tyson someone you would like to fight?" Slice said, "Yeah."

Undoubtedly Mike Tyson really is retired -- not just "retired" like so many fighters who aren't really finished -- but I must say, if he ever wanted to fight Kimbo Slice, it would be one of the all-time greatest freak shows in the history of sport. And that means it would make everyone a lot of money.

As for the prospect he's fighting next, former UFC star Ken Shamrock, Kimbo Slice said, "I don't think nothing about Ken."

The congregation also got a little personal. Kimmel asked Slice if he conditions his beard, and Slice said, "I take care of it because it takes care of me." Kimmel told Slice, "It really is one of the shiniest, cleanest-looking beards I've ever seen." And then it got insane personal. Kimmel said to Slice, "Have you ever had a romantic relationship with a man? Be honest." Slice replied, "No, man." But I think we know better!

Ken Shamrock will have his hands full with Kimbo Slice, but only because of his age and confidence. Shamrock has the skills, the experience in the ring, and the name, but nobody's giving him much of a chance. Hopefully he'll believe in himself.
