Biggest star of the extinct EliteXC, the heavyweight Kimbo slice will temporarily leave MMA. The fighter informed the Nassau Guardian that he intends to dedicate himself exclusively to boxing at this time.
“Training for MMA is very hard,” stated Kimbo, very succinctly.
Kimbo Slice burst onto the fighting scene with videos of his street fights on YouTube, which have garnered over a billion views. This success led him to sign a multi-million dollar contract with EliteXC, becoming the poster boy for the show. But after three consecutive victories, he was knocked out by the “unknown” Seth Petruzelli after just 14 seconds of fighting in October 2008, in the event that led to the organization’s bankruptcy.
