Seth Petruzelli, a last-minute replacement for an injured Ken Shamrock, knocked out Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson just 14-seconds into their main event matchup at EliteXC “Heat” on Saturday night at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida.

Shamrock, who was to meet Slice in the “Heat” main event, was forced to withdraw from the matchup after suffering a cut over his left eye earlier in the day. EliteXC ultimately tapped UFC veteran Seth Petruzelli, who was to fight Aaron Rosa in a light heavyweight bout on the event’s preliminary card, to replace Shamrock in the main event against Slice.

Slice closed the distance at the opening bell but Petruzelli connected first with a right that rocked Slice and sent him to the canvas. Slice attempted to recover from the blow but Petruzelli reigned down punches to force the referee to intervene just 14-seconds into the opening round. The upset loss capped off EliteXC’s third “Saturday Night Fights” event on CBS.
