Kimbo Slice makes a guest appearance in the center of the ring to a standing ovation. That ovation quickly goes to uncomfortable silence when Kimbo mistakenly thinks he's in San Francisco.

After the fight Jake Shields gets called into the ring by a zealous Goldberg and they announce the Drew Fickett/Jake Shields fight for June 14.
