In all the climactic events surrounding Seth Petruzelli’s comments and the alleged fight fixing, some new information came to light regarding that night from one of our sources close to Seth Petruzelli. We hate to keep fueling this circus event but we felt it blog worthy.
As a general disclaimer, this is purely speculation and hasn’t been confirmed as of yet. Seth Petruzelli has been heard claiming that Kimbo Slice’s entourage were making direct threats after the fight. While in the ring, it’s rumored that Slice’s entourage were making threats to Petruzelli and his family such as statements about shooting his wife, knowing where he lives, etc.
Again, we can’t confirm this but we definitely can’t rule it out. Kimbo’s crew wasn’t exactly warm hearted about the loss like Slice was. We attempted to reach Petruzelli to discuss this information but have been unable to get a statement as of yet.
If it is true, let’s keep the hood out of the ring in the future guys. These are sanctioned fights. We aren’t in the hood, we’re on national tv in front of an impressionable audience. Let’s not give the critics who say MMA promotes violence any more ammunition than they already need.

I’m not sure I believe this. Kimbo was a good sport immediately after the loss.

Yeah Kimbo was. I’m not sure if it’s accurate but some friends of Petruzelli stated it was said. We’re looking into it further.
