Kimbo Slice Heading to Japan

According to an update by MMA Fightline :

Reports are surfacing that Kimbo Slice’s next gig has been lined up and it involves a meet and greet for December 6th’s K-1 event. It appears that this is the starting point for Slice’s agreement to compete sometime in March for the promotion against K-1 Heavyweight champion, Badr Hari.
Slice last fought against Seth Petruzelli where he lost via TKO in only :14 seconds in what will forever be known as the nail in the coffin for EliteXC.
Former EliteXC Live Events President, Gary Shaw, had mentioned that Slice would probably end up competing in Japan following EliteXC’s closure. This would make the most sense as the Japanese would be far more competitive in their compensation of Slice.

Seemd like K-1 might be a better match for Kimbo than MMA, where it seemed pretty obvious he had no game on the ground. After the Petruzelli fight however, it looks like he has no chin either, so hope he gets a good deal for his first fight, as it seems likely it will be his last. Also, in all seriousness, he probably doesn't have the skills to work the WWE type entertainment either, with no wrestling experience to speak of, but if they trained him, who knows? He's got the look and the legend, maybe Vince McMahon could do the rest...

well he's started in mma well,so he still has a career,just got one one the chin.k-1 or mma he has a realistic chance of making good money,remach against silver back seth would be good if he win's.dream could do with him and i think he could do with them,overeem's the man at hw over there and i think kimbo could ko him,id be happy to see how he goes in k-1 aswell.wrestling is a good idea for the money,kimbo looks like the type to not bother working on the road constant and acting really doesnt seem up his street so id say he's doing both mma and k-1 if he's going japan.

I hate writing Kimbo off so quick. Everyone has a place in this game, and his isn't being showcased as the greatest. Instead, let's put a blue-collar on him, and put him to work. In the same token, Brock has been doing the same.
