The internet legend lived up to the hype and held up his end of the bargain. Bo Cantrell? Not so much.

Sure, it was only 19 seconds…not much can be seen in 19 seconds. But in the same time that it takes to realize that someone has farted in your car, Kimbo Slice proved one thing. People are scared of him. And he means business. Technically, that was two things, but you get my point. Coming into Corpus Christi, Texas under the tutelage of Bas Rutten and Randy Khatami, Kimbo showed the composure that some felt he may not possess. With the Bahamas flag on one shoulder, and the Triumph United logo on the other, Kimbo entered the arena to a deafening roar. You could barely make out the Trick Daddy bumping in the background. I imagine Trick Daddy ain’t happy.

Some were wondering if Bo was the best opponent for Kimbo. He’s a cage veteran with over 20 fights, facing an internet legend with only 1 exhibition match under his belt. And Bo also has got killer eyes. Like little pools of rainwater on a cool Seattle day. Neither of those facts bothered Kimbo in the slightest. Going without booze for 3+ months, coupled with his lack of sex makes Kimbo an unhappy camper. Quite a few of us here at Osiris were abstaining from sex in support of Kimbo. Not necessarily on purpose, though. More on that in an upcoming article. With pictures too!

Bo opened up the bout with a spinning backfist, which Kimbo easily dodged. That was the end of Cantrell’s offense. Kimbo moved forward, and after plastering Bo’s chest with an uppercut (Yes, it was his chest, but Kimbo could have hit Bo’s wrist with that thing and it would have dropped him), Kimbo followed that up with an elbow to the side of Bo’s head, dropping Cantrell. Somehow sensing that Kimbo was about to get his bread by dropping a fist onto his face, Bo tapped.

In 19 seconds, Kimbo proved that he has the skills to make it in MMA…now if he can only find someone that wants to fight him.

The Metal Mulisha has always been a huge supporter of the U.S. Military and everything they do to keep our country safe and free, so when asked to do an event at MCAS Miramar MCX, in San Diego California they were pumped. Jimmy Fitzpatirck, Jeremy Lusk and Brian Deeganwere the guys chosen, and the event went so well they were asked to come back and do future shows. For more photos from the event check out the Mulisha site.

PLG has swept all three events on the 2007 Action Sports World Tour, with big wins in Phoenix, San Diego, and this past weekend in Dallas at the LG Action Sports Championships, PLG is on fire. Pierre has also had a podium finish in every other competition he entered this year. Looks like 2007 was quite good to him. I guess we will have to wait to see what 2008 holds.

If you happen to be in the North West this weekend and are looking for something to do, check out the premiere of Feed The Need in Hood River Saturday November 17th at the Gorge Room, or come by the Fuel shop in Salem on Sunday November 18th and meet Duffel, Shuriken, Brockman, and Stu.
