After many on again off again rounds of problems both fighters are healthy and willing to fight. Kimbo’s long-awaited heavyweight showdown with former UFC tough man Tank Abbott is slated to be the main event of EliteXC’s show on Saturday, February 16. Being shown on Showtime at 10:00 p.m. ET, the fight is expected to come from Miami, Florida. The arena has not been announced but the University of Miami has been put out there as a location. Also on the fight card is Australian Kyle Noke and former UFC fighter Scott Smith. Antonio Silva and James “Colossus” Thompson are scheduled to compete on the card as well, in more bouts. Slice and Abbott had been scheduled to fight each other on October 12 in Atlantic City, NJ. However, Cage Fury Fighting Championships ran into financial troubles and was forced to cancel the event. After the cancellation Slice became a free agent and signed a contract with EliteXC.
Got a prediciton? If I had to venture a guess, I'd have to go with Kimbo although I'll be rooting for Abbott. Either way, I don't expect the fight to last long.
Kimbo is going to destroy washed up Abbot. He has been training for a while with MMA Legend Bas Rutten and may be more than just the street fighter people expect.
so kimbo only fights old guys or people half his weight. i wouldn't mind seeing a bob sapp kimbo matchup.
I don't follow MMA much but saw Abbott listed on an MMA web site as one fighter that should hang up the gloves.
