Kimbo Slice is one of the celebrity guest characters on the new FaceBreaker video game for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo Wii.
FaceBreaker is a boxing/fighting video game with cartoony characters that allows players to break their opponents faces with a "real-time facial deformation" feature. It was released in September 2008.
Kimbo Slice is a perfect character for a game like this because he is a real life facebreaker himself!
Other celebrity guest characters are Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt, Kim Kardashian, Peter Moore, and Snoop Dogg. I wouldn't say any of these are bad for the game but none are quite as fitting for it as Kimbo Slice is.

Kimbo Slice Street Fight Rules
I have seen a lot of discussion on what type of fighting Kimbo Slice was actually doing back in his, now famous, street fighting days. Here are some of the facts and rules of the Kimbo Slice fights that you see all over youtube and other sites...First of all, those Kimbo Slice fights were not Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fights and they also were not technically street fights either.
1. Only punching is allowed (no elbows, knees, kicks, etc.)
2. Stand up fighting only (no ground & pound or submissions)
3. No holding or wrestling with opponent is allowed
4. If knocked down you have 30 seconds to get up and continue fighting
5. The ways to win are by knockout, 30 second count out, or simply quitting
So, now you know a little more about the Kimbo Slice street fights that you have seen so many times before. Now that he's a professional MMA fighter he probably won't be doing anymore street fights but his pro fights are just as exciting to watch.

Kimbo Slice vs Chuck Liddell
Well it seems that Chuck Liddell has called Kimbo Slice out with some "fighting" words.
Here is what Liddell has to say about Slice...
According to Chuck Liddell, Kimbo Slice is training and learning MMA, but he hasn’t done anything to earn the recognition he gets.
"Kimbo Slice is one of those guys who doesn’t have any ground game," Liddell told The Sun. "He’s training and he’s learning but he’s been built up as such a big star, and that’s the thing that bothers me."
"People talk about him like he’s the next great thing when he really hasn’t done anything. He’s been built up because of the internet and him beating a bunch of guys on the street."
As you probably already know, Kimbo’s initial fame came from underground fighting videos posted on YouTube and other video sharing websites. Fighting on the streets of Miami, Kimbo almost always dominated his opponents in the bareknuckle fights.
"I could make some impressive knockout videos too if you let me walk outside and just punch people and knock them out - "hey you, come fight!" Liddell told The Sun. "Fuck we can make a highlight reel tomorrow and go round beating people up and talking about it. We could just go up to people and start dropping them. Wow!"
Kimbo has fired back saying he will fight and beat anyone, including Chuck Liddell. He says he has much respect and love for all MMA fighters but he will fight any of them, anytime, anywhere! He says he is tired of the talk and if you have a problem with him you know where to find him.
Personally I think that at this point Chuck Liddell probably is the better fighter. He has proven himself against the best of the best and he is definitely one of the best MMA fighters in the world. However, if he tried standing toe-2-toe with Kimbo Slice I think Kimbo could take him. I doubt he would try that though.
I also think that Kimbo is naturally a damn good fighter. Nobody could dispute that. He can hit like a ton of bricks and can obviously take hits as well. He is working on his ground game and getting better all the time. Give him another year or so and he will be right up at the top.
Then, I think he would be able to beat Chuck Liddell in a true MMA fight.
What do you think? Chuck Liddell or Kimbo Slice... Who would win?

Kimbo Slice vs. James Thompson - 05/31/08
I told you in my last post that I would let you know who the next Kimbo Slice fight was against as soon as I found out.
It has been confirmed that his next fight is against James "The Colossus" Thompson.
Thompson is a veteran fighter with a record of 14-8 (last two fights were losses). He made a name for himself back in the day with an intimidating physique and strong punching power. But in his last fight (loss) against Brett Rogers he was noticeably less jacked than he once was.
I don't see Kimbo losing this one considering James has been knocked out in 3 of his last 4 fights and we all know Kimbo Slice has no trouble knocking people out. But hopefully it does get into an entertaining slugfest that we can all enjoy. If Thompson is back to his former hard-hitting ways it might be a good match-up.
Kimbo Slice vs. James Thompson will be on CBS Saturday Night Fights. It's the EliteXC main event at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. on May 31, 2008.
Go Kimbo!!! Kick some ass!

Who Does Kimbo Slice Fight Next Time?
Supposedly, the next Kimbo Slice fight is going to be on May 31, 2008. But does anyone know who the next Kimbo Slice opponent is going to be?
I try to keep up on all the Kimbo Slice news and events so I can post them here but I can't find anywhere that says who his next fight is going to be against.
I saw an EliteXC commercial on showtime the other day about the next Kimbo Slice fight but I only caught the end of it so I don't know if they said who his opponent will be or not.
I assume it has not been announced yet so maybe nobody knows but it's only two months away so it seems to me like somebody should know by now, or at least it should be announced very soon.
If you know who Kimbo Slice is fighting next, please comment below and let everyone know. Otherwise I will write a new post letting everyone know as soon as I find out.
Thanks,
Kimbo Slice Fan
