FiveOuncesOfPain.com was informed by IFL President and CEO Jay Larkin earlier this morning that casual talks have taken place between his organization and EliteXC Live Events President Gary Shaw regarding an inter-promotional fight between IFL heavyweight champion Roy Nelson and Kevin Kimbo Slice Ferguson. According to Larkin, formal talks about a Nelson vs. Slice fight have yet to take place but discussions could intensify Monday morning, depending on the outcome of Slices heavyweight bout during EliteXCs debut on CBS this Saturday night. If Kimbo wins, well make that match (Nelson vs. Slice) without hesitation, Larkin said during an exclusive interview with Five Ounces of Pain. Well do in on an IFL card or an Elite card we dont care. Promotions working together is the only way for this business to grow. http://fiveouncesofpain.com/2008/05...nelson-could-be-next-in-line-for-kimbo-slice/
Nelson would be a great test, he has good credentials and is a take you down and beat you up or submit you type of guy. Depending on how Kimbo looks tommorow, I think Nelson would be the favorite.
