Props to MMARated:
MMARated.com has learned that Ken Shamrock sustained a cut above his eye in the last 24 hours while training and WILL NOT be fighting in tonight's main event bout against Kimbo Slice.
EliteXC officials are scrambling to find a last minute replacement for Shamrock. We have heard that Frank Shamrock - who is calling the fight for CBS - offered to step in at the last minute but is ultimately not fighting. EliteXC has offered Slice Seth Petruzelli (pictured right) - who was scheduled to fight Aaron Rosa tonight. As of right now, Kimbo has yet to officially accept the fight.
Update via MMARated:
We are now hearing that EliteXC officials may have found a doctor who may clear Shamrock tonight after all. EliteXC may be on the verge of dodging a bullet of epic proportions.
Update via Dave Meltzer:
As of 7 p.m. Eastern time it looks like Shamrock has been cleared and the main event is back on. If anything changes,we will post a new update.

Apreciate the source SinCity.

Love how Bluto comes in here with a double post meltdown, after no one is responding to his silliness in the other thread, which includes bringing Blue Devil in.
You are indeed a mental midget.

From the guys over at MMARated.com:
MMARated.com has learned from several very reliable sources that Ken Shamrock sustained a cut above his eye in the last 24 hours while training and WILL NOT be fighting in tonight's main event bout against Kimbo Slice.
EliteXC officials are scrambling to find a last minute replacement for Shamrock. Amazingly, we have heard that Shamrock's brother, Frank, who is calling the event for CBS, offered to step in at the last minute but is ultimately not fighting. EliteXC has offered Slice a last-minute replacement in the form of Seth Petruzelli. Petruzelli was scheduled to fight Aaron Rosa tonight.
As of right now, Kimbo has yet to officially accept the fight.

Update via MMARated:
They skipped the Petruzelli vs. Rosa fight. This might mean that Petruzelli is replacing Shamrock after all.

Yet another interesting possibility in an evening full of curiosities.
Update 2: As we posted earlier Kimbo Slice vs. Ken Shamrock is officially off as Ken has managed to injure himself hours before the fight. EXC reps are trying to replace Ken with Seth Petruzelli but Kimbo's people have yet to accept the replacement. Rock and a hard place here as Seth stands about 1303% better chance of winning than Shamrock did...but if Kimbo doesn't end up taking the fight he looks like a bit of a punk in light of his "anyone, anywhere" talk and reputation.
Update 3: MMARated is now reporting that Shamrock has left the building after an attempt to get him cleared by a second doctor. It appears for sure that the main event is officially NOT Shamrock/Slice. I haven't heard yet if they have locked Petruzelli in as a replacement.

If Kimbo doesn't fight, CBS will drop EliteXC imo. This is seriously fucked up. I blame Ken. Was to be one of the most viewed cards in recent history and he fkn cuts himself? How ???

it aint right to force kimbo to fight another guy on this short notice, he prepared for a long time to fight shamrock and planned that shit

They probably waved 100 grand or so extra in his face. Smart move on Kimbos part delaying. They can have a card without Ken, but not without Kimbo.

Yeah, it's not right to force Petriwhatever to fight the unstoppable beast known as Kimbo on such short notice, have they notified Seth's next of kin?
