Your sig reminds me I need to get back over on the Wizards board. I may have some free tix to the Pistons' game next month if anyone you know is interested. I'll find out for sure this week.

There's a whole group of people over there that would be interested. They are putting together a WE Night at the Phonebooth on March 2nd. It'll be a chance for everyone from the board to meet up and it coinsides with Gilberts return so it's going to be money. You definitely need to get back over there.

Kimbo takes the mantle from Tank

By Dave Meltzer

Just as Tank Abbott made the perfect opponent going into Kimbo Slice's second sanctioned MMA match, he made an even more perfect "opponent" once the bell sounded.

Before a raucous sellout crowd of 7,000 fans on Saturday night at the Bank United Center in Slice's hometown of Miami, Slice, known as Kevin Ferguson to his family, knocked Abbott down four times with punches, with the final knockdown sending Abbott falling face first on the canvas. The spectacle only lasted 43 seconds.

The only reason it lasted that long is after the Abbott was put down the first time, and Slice was pounding him on the ground and about to finish him, ref Troy Waugh gave him a reprieve because Slice punched him to the back of the head. It appeared Abbott figured his work was over as he went to the corner. He came back out, with his heart no longer into it, and they traded big punches, with Slice's being harder and more accurate.

The reality is Abbott is now a 9-14 fighter, and 42 years old. He collected one more six-figure paycheck because he can talk the talk, and because once upon a time, when MMA was primitive, Abbott scored some spectacular knockouts, and made himself famous by acting like the ultimate street fighter.

Slice, 34, who talked after the fight about Abbott and Mike Tyson being his fighting idols, will now pick up the mantle that Abbott once owned.

He's the guy the masses see as the street fighter, whose fighting discipline wasn't called jiu jitsu, boxing, kickboxing, judo or wrestling, but labeled "brawling," which is this decade's version of the "pit fighter" moniker given to Abbott by early Ultimate Fighting Championship matchmaker Art Davie.

Perhaps the real story was the crowd and their reactions. Slice lit up the room the way very few MMA fighters in history ever have. Where he truly ranks as a fighter is a question. He can hit hard, but that was known in advance. Abbott seemed winded when in the corner after 19 seconds of action when Waugh was yelling at Slice for the punch to the back of the head. Abbott showed no head movement, and was a sitting duck for nearly every punch that came.

After the match, announcers Mauro Ranallo, Bill Goldberg and Stephen Quadros were teasing that Ken Shamrock, who turned 44 last week, may be Slice's next opponent. Shamrock first has to get past Robert "Buzz" Berry in a match on March 8 in London's Wembley Arena.

Slice's win was the cherry on top of the sundae of fast and brutal knockouts on Elite XC and Showtime's first major event of the year. Of the five televised fights, four were knockouts.
