Can someone explain this story to me? It was on my Yahoo home page and I can’t decide if it’s a joke, a video game or perhaps just a bad dream.
If it’s real, should I include it in my ‘decline and eventual fall of the United States’ category?

I think it fits nicely into the “decline and fall” category along with Father Pfleger….

Kevin Ferguson (born on February 8, 1974), better known as Kimbo Slice, is a Miami, Florida-based street fighter turned mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter. He first appeared in several filmed underground fights which have spread primarily on the Internet. Kimbo has since left street fighting behind and is now putting his efforts towards becoming a professional mixed martial arts fighter. Rolling Stone called Slice “The King of the Web Brawlers”.[1]
Having said all of that. I agree with your first commentor on this page. This fits very nicely into “decline and fall”.

Gordon, I wish that I could tell you that this is a joke, but unfortunately, it is as real as can be. I had the misfortune of flipping through the channels this past Saturday night and coming across this “match”. I stopped and watched the last 3-4 minutes of it as some guys that work for me are always raving about Kimbo Slice. It is pure and simple barbarism with absolutely no redeeming qualities at all that I can find.
