Kimbo Slice vs Sean Gannon: The Aftermath
Here’s some footage of Sean Gannon and Kimbo Slice following their legendary fiasco of a fight that saw Slice eventually succumb to exhaustion. As you can see, both men are near-death after the brawl’s end, with Slice unable to get to his feet and Gannon too gassed to respond to “all the nuthuggas who didn’t think [he] had a chance.” Kimbo would go on to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars per fight as EliteXC’s marquee attraction (and the catalyst behind its sad demise), while Sean Gannon would go on to get tooled by Branden Lee Hinkle at UFC 55 and never fight again
Kimbos’ promoters wisely had him fight second rate fighters, or fighters too old to be fighting. When Shamrock bowed out due to injuries, Kimbo got rocked by a relatively unknown fighter.
…as did EliteXC (rocked by promoting Kimbo too heavy, a second rate fighter – and that’s a compliment!) It was fun/funny while it lasted…
