Seth Petruzelli pockets knockout bonus BEFORE Kimbo Slice knockout


Props: MMAFanhouse

Quoteworthy:

"[ESPN and Sports Illustrated are] both wrong. We have given submission bonuses in the past but they’re not as common as knockout bonuses. If the question is, ‘Have we ever given submission bonuses?’ The answer is yes. But we give knockout bonuses more often. We gave Seth a knockout bonus before the fight started. That was part of the deal."

Elite XCs Jeremy Lappen attempts to clarify remarks regarding what the shady pre-fight situation was like before Seth Petruzelli knocked out promotion poster boy, Kimbo Slice, in 14 seconds. This "clarification," however, sounds more confusing ... and alarming.
