In what ended up being a strange night at the EliteXC “Heat” card, former UFC fighter and TUF 2 veteran Seth Petruzelli stepped in to fight Kimbo Slice in the main event after Ken Shamrock pulled out due to a cut sustained over his left eye in training. Kimbo’s camp allegedly didn’t make a decision on whether or not take the fight with Petruzelli until about 6:20 ET according to the broadcast.

Petruzelli was supposed to fight Aaron Rosa during the preliminary bouts but the bout was scratched in favor of Petruzelli competing in the main event against Slice.

Petruzelli shocked the world, however, by beating Slice within seconds of the opening bell. He stunned Kimbo with a short right jab that put Kimbo on all fours and never looked back, raining down punches from Kimbo’s back and eventually forcing a stoppage by the referee.

Slice was so out of it from the barrage of punches that after the fight had been stopped by the referee and Petruzelli was celebrating, Kimbo was trying to secure a double leg takedown on the referee, thinking that it was Petruzelli that he was trying to take down.
