kimbo slice
The Florida State Boxing Commission (FSBC) recently issued its list of medical suspensions for Elite XC: “Heat,” which took place on Saturday, October 4 at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida.

Brazilian Murilo “Ninja” Rua was suspended indefinitely by the FSBC due to his second round knockout loss to Benji Radach in the first fight of the main card. Rua was out for a few minutes, and had to be taken to the hospital afterwards.

Main event loser Kimbo Slice will sit on the sidelines for the next 30 days following his 14 second loss to last minute replacement fighter Seth Petruzelli.

Slice’s original opponent Ken Shamrock — who could not get clearance to fight after getting cut in warm ups only hours before — was not suspended at all by the commission since he did not compete.

Here’s the complete list of “Heat” injuries and their medical instructions:

Kimbo Slice –- Kimbo has been suspended for 30 days.

Murilo “Ninja” Rua -– “Ninja” has been suspended by the FSBC indefinitely or until cleared by a doctor to fight.

Roy “Big Country” Nelson -– “Big Country” is suspended for 60 days following his second round technical knockout loss to Andrei Arlovski.

James Edson Berto -– Berto is suspended 30 days after being on the wrong end of a technical knockout loss to Conor Huen.

Just a quick reminder: Fighters often return to action much quicker once doctors give them the green light. The lengthy suspensions are just a precaution in most cases.

Elite is so done. They could merge with affliction and put on free events and they would still be suspect. I just got a call to fight kimbo, was offered a do not take him down bonus and a I won’t knock him out bonus…I don’t have a game plan yet, but I’ll figure it out!

I thought they were suspending Kimbo for having crabs in his beard.

I heard they are suspending him until he learns how to fight. I guess this is the last we’ll ever hear from him.
