This past weekend’s Bellator 138 main event between Kimbo Slice and Ken Shamrock has received its fair share of controversy — from fans just not liking the idea of a 51-year-old taking on a 41-year-old to some fans saying that the finish of the fight — which was Ken Shamrock getting knocked out — was […]

One person who’s been notably absent on WWE television over the last several months has been former Money in the Bank winner and World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger.

For anyone who follows MMA historically, they will most likely be able to detail the beef that Kimbo Slice and Ken Shamrock have with each other.

Brock Lesnar has dominated the ring in WWE since his current return, and he’s the reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion. That doesn’t means he’s sticking around though.
