Sam Caplan announced on fiveouncesofpain.com that Kimbos' second scheduled opponent, Mike Bourke, pulled out of their November 10th match due to a training injury. Mike Bourke confirmed to FiveOuncesOfPain.com (www.FiveOuncesOfPain.com) on Wednesday afternoon that he has been forced to pull out of his scheduled Nov. 10 match for EliteXC against Kimbo Slice in Corpus Christi, Texas. A heartbroken Bourke said that he broke his left clavicle during a training session on Sunday when he attempted a takedown. Bourke was looking forward to the opportunity to fight Slice and was already in training for another bout when he was contracted to fight on Nov. 10.
Following Slice's strong win against Ray Mercer at CFFC 5, Kimbo called former UFC fighter Tank Abbott out. Abbott, a spectator at the event, stood up and accepted the call out. Just a few weeks later, the fight was canceled due to a promotion dispute.
Slice was then booked against Mike Bourke until this report was released today:
Slice has since been booked against Bo Cantrell. Stay tuned for the next bizarre chapter in this story.
