Let the mixed martial arts fighting pundits celebrate: Kimbo Slice lost his first pro fight on Saturday night. The loss, however, came from a stand-in fighter. Slice was supposed to fight Ken Shamrock, but Shamrock was unable to fight due to a cut over his left eye he got while training. The stand-in, Seth Petruzelli, stepped in and defeated Slice in about 14 seconds.
When the fight began Slice aggressively went after Petruzelli. But in the commotion, Petruzelli caught Slice on the jaw with his right hand, stunning him to the ground. As soon as Slice hit the ground, Petruzelli pounced on him and started reigning blows on Slice's head and face. The referee quickly stepped in and stopped the fight.
"It was an opportunity to step up," Petruzelli told ESPN after the fight. "This is something I wanted all my life."
"It's all good," added Slice, who fell to 3-1. "It was unexpected, but it's all good."
MMA critics have continually said that Slice is overrated and wouldn't be able to hang against a quality MMA opponent, There's no word on when Slice's next fight will be, but the expected bout with Brett Rogers will be a little while down the road. Slice may end up fighting Shamrock next, but there hasn't been an announcement yet, but we're sure Slice will want a rematch with Petruzelli. See the Slice knockout after the jump:

The whole thing smells fishy to me, but a loss is a loss.

Slice has been shown to be a joke. He plods straight ahead with a "come punch my head" defense. Sad he became as famous as he did. Time to get rid of elite xc and concentrate on the UFC where real athletes/fighters are.

Kimbo Slice has at least a cool milli for throwin that fight...Elite XC gained some crazy promo out of it...good for them...but personally,I'll never bother watching another Kimbo fight or a Elite XC fight again....Anderson Silva is still the man though.

Slice got caught plain and simple. Could have happened to the best of them.
It dont matter who you are, Liddell, Lesnar, Orlovski, if you get hit in the jaw clean your going down. Period.
In this sport its any given sunday, anyone can win anywhere anytime.
Kimbo will be back, bet on it!

Kinda looked like a fake to me also. I wasn't convinced that he got hurt at all. That's $$ in Kimbo's bank account. Welcome to the world of Profauxshinal wrestling.

It did look like the fix was in, but again, any given day any man can come out the winner and/or the loser. Kimbo is a good fighter and in order to prove that he has to come back with a vegence. Train hard and come back and kick some ass.
