In the video above, Kimbo is interviewed by ESPN about his 14-second KO loss in EliteXC to former Ultimate Fighter cast member and UFC fighter, Seth Petruzelli. Kimbo says that the last minute change from Shamrock to Petruzelli affected him mentally, and that the loss made him eager to fight, and to prove to himself and everyone that he can smash Petruzelli with one hand tied behind his back. Petruzelli has already voiced his discontent on Kimbo's comments, registering the following post on the Underground Forum:

"i did have respect for you, after our fight you said i was the better fighter. there were 3 times that we could have fought after the elite show for you to get a rematch, but you declined all 3 times. now you go on ESPN making excuses, saying the only reason you lost was that it was sprung on you the last minute and that you can beat me with one hand behind your back!!!! you can go F yourself...maybe now that the UFC is having me back we will see for sure."

Regardless of how Kimbo fares during his stint on the upcoming heavyweight season of TUF, which premieres tonight, I'm sure a rematch with Seth Petruzelli would draw serious interest from a wide range of MMA fans.
