Let the mixed martial arts fighting pundits celebrate: Kimbo Slice lost his first pro fight on Saturday night. The loss, however, came from a stand-in fighter. Slice was supposed to fight Ken Shamrock, but Shamrock was unable to fight due to a cut over his left eye he got while training. The stand-in, Seth Petruzelli, stepped in and defeated Slice in about 14 seconds.
When the fight began Slice aggressively went after Petruzelli. But in the commotion, Petruzelli caught Slice on the jaw with his right hand, stunning him to the ground. As soon as Slice hit the ground, Petruzelli pounced on him and started reigning blows on Slice's head and face. The referee quickly stepped in and stopped the fight.
"It was an opportunity to step up," Petruzelli told ESPN after the fight. "This is something I wanted all my life."
"It's all good," added Slice, who fell to 3-1. "It was unexpected, but it's all good."
MMA critics have continually said that Slice is overrated and wouldn't be able to hang against a quality MMA opponent, There's no word on when Slice's next fight will be, but the expected bout with Brett Rogers will be a little while down the road. Slice may end up fighting Shamrock next, but there hasn't been an announcement yet, but we're sure Slice will want a rematch with Petruzelli. See the Slice knockout after the jump:

It's been awhile, but we finally have another athlete crossing over to the hip-hop world hoping to make a splash. This time its Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Lloyd going by the moniker B. Lloyd. He's been dabbling in hip-hop for a little while now, but he's just released a new single, "She All Mine" featuring Bobby Valentino that could possibly turn into a hit.
