KIMBO SLICE VS. KEN SHAMROCK

Now undefeated at 3-0, Kimbo Slice returns to action after his toughest challenge defeating James Thompson via TKO in the 3rd round. His previous 2 outings lasted 62 seconds in total against Bo Cantrell and David Abbott. This time round he faces UFC Hall of Famer Ken Shamrock who hasn’t had the best of luck lately having 5 losses in a row. His last taste of victory came back in 2004 against Kimo Leopoldo.

JAKE SHIELDS VS. PAUL DALEY

EliteXC Welterweight champion has been very impressive racking up 10 straight wins and hasn’t seen a loss since 2004. His latest wins include Nick Thompson, Mike Pyle, Renato Verissimo, Yushin Okami and Carlos Condit. He’s set to face Cage Rage Welterweight Champion Paul Daley, a dangerous Muay Thai specialist who has won his last six fights, five by KO. Thirteen of his 18 wins have come by stoppage.

GINA CARANO VS. KELLY KOBALD

Undefeated Gina Carano has managed a career of 6-0 so far with wins including Elaina Maxwell and Julie Kedzie. With her most recent second-round TKO over Kaitlin Young, Gina will looked to go 7-0. Kelly Kobald is definitely the more experienced fighter and holds a second round TKO victory over the respected Shayna Baszler.

MURILO "NINJA" RUA VS. BENJI RADACH

Murilo "Ninja" Rua, of Brazil, is a Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai black belt. A former EliteXC 185-pound champion, "Ninja" has won five of his last six, including a first-round TKO over his last opponent Tony Bonello in June.
