When we say tonights main event fight between Kimbo Slice and Ken Shamrock has been a longtime in the making, we really mean a long time.

The fight was scheduled to go down 7 years ago at Elite XC. There was plenty of bad blood back then and got even worse when Shamrock pulled out just hours before the fight, because he apparently suffered a cut while trying to warm up.

Now, 7 years later, in Bellator MMA, the two men will finally get to scrap. Check out the photo above of the two men then, and the two men now.

Who wins tonight?
