    Veteran David “Tankâ€￾ Abbott will collide with infamous Internet streetfighter Kimbo Slice at Cage Fury Fighting Championships 6 “Heavy Handsâ€￾ Oct. 12 at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, N.J., according to CFFC matchmaker Gary Marino.

    Once arguably the most feared man in MMA, Abbott (9-13) has lost seven of his past eight fights, including three in a row. He succumbed to Gary Turner by first-round TKO at Cage Rage 21 “Judgment Dayâ€￾ in April and has won only once – a 2005 KO victory over Wesley Correira – since October 1998.

    Slice, meanwhile, defeated former professional boxer Ray Mercer by guillotine choke submission in an exhibition bout at CFFC 5 in June. The Miami, Fla.-based brawler then called out Abbott, who was seated cageside.

    Elsewhere, former four-time world kickboxing champion Duke Roufus is slated to make his MMA debut at CFFC 6. Roufus, who owns and operates the Duke Roufus Kickboxing, Mixed Martial Arts and Boxing Academy in Milwaukee, Wis., trains UFC light heavyweight Stephan Bonnar

    How staged was the whole "calling out" scene after the Mercer fight?

    It is definitely crappy...

    As much as I dislike Kimbo, he only has 1 MMA fight and his second being against Tank isn't too bad. He's just starting out, he isn't going to fight any killers.

    Here's the entire card...

    Kimbo v Tank Abbott

    Ricardo Almeida v Dennis Hallman

    Derrick Panza v Duke Roufus

    Devidas Taurosevicius v Chris Ligouri TITLE FIGHT NABC Lightweight

    Jim Miller v Chris Brennan TITLE FIGHT CFFC Lightweight

    Marcio (Pe de pano) Cruz v Brandon Lee Hinkle

    Undercard

    Mike Littlefield v Jose Rodriguez

    Jarrid Palmer v John Doyle

    Malachy Friedman v Anthony Morrison

    I'm interested in the Liguori and Rodriguez fights, since my brother in law knows them from when he would train down at Pitt's Penn, who they used to fight for. Neither fighter is world class, but they're local guys who usually put on good fights, so I have to root for them.
