Speaking to a television host from one of the business networks about the recent UFC TUF Finale show while at the Giants-Cowboys game last night, Kimbo naturally came up. He was quick to share that he had the youtube sensation on his show and Kimbo gave him some insight into his fight with Petruzelli.

In an off camera discussion, Kimbo said that after receiving news Ken Shamrock was injured during warm ups and not fighting, he assumed his night was over and started drinking. Kimbo then got word they had found a replacement and inspite of (or because of) the alchol, went out into the ring to fight (and collect his check). Several sources claim that additional money was sent Kimbo's was to get him to take the fight on short no notice. According to the TV host, having a few in his system was Kimbo's excuse for getting KO'ed.
