It may be 7 years overdue, but Ken Shamrock and Kimbo Slice finally stepped into the cage at Bellator 138. Headlining one of the biggest Bellator cards in a long time were two guys way past of their primes. They're still two highly recognizable names in the sport though and with Coker's penchant for fun fights, this was certainly a throwback to the Japanese MMA 'freakshow' fights designed to bring in the eyeballs.

As expected, the heavyweight bout ended in a finish but it was a terribly entertaining bout that absolutely delivered on everything we expected. Here's a snippet from our live blog of the contest:

Round 1 - Shamrock shot in for a takedown immediately and couldn't get it, but kept trying and they went to the floor. Briefly. Kimbo's back up and they're in some sort of weird clinch position. Shamrock landed a knee. They finally separate. Shamrock waddled in and somehow got a single leg takedown. He immediately got Kimbo's back and sunk a choke. Now back mount with the choke, but Kimbo's not tapping. Slice powers back to his feet and clips Shamrock. He's wobbled. He missed with a couple more, then landed a winging left that knocked Shamrock on his butt. Kimbo wound up again but Big John had seen enough elder abuse and stopped the bout.
