Ken Skamrock and Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson (This story appears in today’s edition of USA TODAY .) ST.

Fans quickly dubbed the heavyweight MMA pairing between Shamrock, a UFC Hall of Famer, and former bareknuckle brawler Ferguson a “freak show,” on par with giant Hong Man Choi’s two-minute tussle with former baseball player Jose Canseco in Japan.
