Kimbo Slice

Maybe it's the eyes. China-white saucers punctuated by dark-as-night centers. Maybe it's the shimmering gold teeth. Sharp as an ax and framed by a bushy black beard. It could be the arms. Defined by impossibly thick muscles and quick as a rattlesnake strike. Something -- maybe all of the above -- helped to transform Kimbo Slice from bare-knuckle, backyard brawler into one of the leading attractions in mixed martial arts.

NEWARK, N.J. -- Kimbo Slice had his hands full with James (The Colossus) Thompson, eventually winning by TKO over the big Briton as mixed martial arts made its Saturday night debut on CBS. The fight was stopped 38 seconds into the third round with a dazed Thompson bleeding from the ear from some big punches to the head. Slice, a former street brawler from Miami whose real name is Kevin Ferguson, improved to 3-0 after the main event at the Prudential Center.

The mixed martial arts world is abuzz by post-fight comments made by Seth Petruzelli, the little-known, last-minute replacement on CBS' national broadcast of Elite XC fights Saturday who needed only 14 seconds to knock out popular heavyweight Kimbo Slice.
