Gannon says he’s been approached by K-1
Street fighter Sean Gannon, who was given a shot to go legitimate by the UFC and lost to Brandon Lee Hinkle at UFC 55 in his MMA debut, has issued a post on the Underground forum claiming that he’s been contacted by K-1 about a possible future K-1 rules match against Kimbo Slice.
a lot of people have questioned the legitimacy of the win because of the chokeholds. the best way to settle this is a rematch in a pure striking environment…K1. K1 has already contacted me, i assume this is what they want. gannon/kimbo makes a lot of sense for them, would sell a lot of payperviews to people who don’t normally buy K1. help start the buzz, we made the first one happen, lets do it again!
Gannon may have to wait in line because it was announced after Kimbo’s win over Ray Mercer this past Saturday that he’ll fight Tank Abbott in Atlantic City this September.

that post was made about 2 yrs ago when they just finish fighting. Gannon obviously posted it again to get some attention from kimbo’s win

Thanks.

It works. You don’t need that TiEM part, however, just modify it when you log back in and keep it as fiveouncesofpain. You should good to go then.

Just take http://www.fiveouncesofpain.com/feed and have FeedBurner use that as your site RSS source. Then have FeedBurner produce the URL of http://feeds.feedburner.com/fiveouncesofpain. It’s also easy and delete feeds on your FeedBurner account. E-mail me if you have further troubles.

Sam,
Gannon is not a “street fighter” in the same sense as Kimbo (or what Kimbo used to do). Gannon trains with Mark Dellagrote at Sityodtong in Massachusetts, competes or has competed in grappling tournaments, and has amateur/professional MMA fights on his resume.
He fought Kimbo because he knows how to throw hands and has an IRON chin.
