Kimbo Slice and Bobb Sapp are still very much in the fight game, and are taking combat sports to an unworldly place. They still climb up rings and get paid accordingly as true professionals for their…paranormal services.
Sapp’s nth loss in his last fight was, for the nth time, a puzzling phenomenon; tapping out after getting taken down by an oh-so-ordinary double-leg attack from James Thompson. The persistent veteran Sapp is on a roll—downward—in proving his dogged loyalty to MMA, unceasingly struggling on despite a 1-9 record in his last 10 fights.
About Slice’s last trip up the ring, here’s an excerpt from Jeremy Botter’s hot article, Kimbo Slice’s Latest Boxing Fight Is an Absolute Travesty:
Green had taken far bigger punches from Slice in the fourth round alone. The punch that “knocked him out” was a glancing uppercut that, and I mean this quite literally, wouldn’t really hurt anyone, much less knock them completely unconscious in such a comical way.

With his recent KO of Green, MMA dumpee Slice has apparently moved on to greener pastures by pursuing a professional boxing career. The former street fighter now boasts of four straight wins highlighted by three KOs.
If ever the twain shall meet, in an MMA or boxing match, it’s a safe bet that Slice will KO Sapp. And what could make it a historical precedent is that Slice may not even have to throw a punch to do it.
