SUNRISE, Fla. -- For the first time in his professional mixed martial arts
career, heavyweight Kimbo Slice tasted defeat. The loss, however, did not
come against the man he was originally scheduled to face.
Ken Shamrock was unable to fight due to a cut over his left eye sustained
during a workout earlier in the day. When Shamrock was deemed unfit to
fight, Seth Petruzelli stepped in to replace him.
The decision turned out to be the right one for Petruzelli, who needed just
14 seconds to put a blemish on Slice's record. Petruzelli was scheduled to
fight light heavyweight Aaron Rosa, but quickly accepted the shot at Slice.
"It was an opportunity to step up," Petruzelli said. "This is something I
wanted all my life."
