There's some pretty hilarious stuff said here.
It's not clear who penned the memo, but I suspect Rogers at a minimum proof read the piece or at least gave it the thumbs up. Either way, it's a purposefully incendiary message that I suspect will only heat up the battle between Slice and Rogers; something that can be utilized should an EliteXC PPV ever come to fruition. Notable quote:
As for Oct 4th; that was our spot. Shamrock with his name and giant ego butted in line to get a slice of Kevin. At 103 years of age Ken usurped our rightful place against the YouTube champ. Our sincerest hope is that Ken whips Kimbo and then we can finally euthanize the "World’s Most Dangerous Man" and relegate him to some MMA dinosaur exhibit. Maybe taxidermy him and Severn and place them on a rotating pedestal where they can endless circle each other.
If Ken proves to be more sham then rock and Fergi beats him, then the Slice hype grows even greater. Dude is already more myth then Sasquatch, Chupacabra and a ******* unicorn combined. Kevin is the black Yeti.
Caught between a Shamrock and a hard place, Kevin has chosen the old over the new; the past over the future. But Fergi… the hard place is coming. By putting us off, making us wait will only make matters worse. There is nothing business about it anymore. Kimbo made it a point to go frontin’ to our boys at Big Black. But that street thug B.S. might work well with the fan bois and the Internet dorks who think your street cred means something; but Son… Brett comes from Cabrini Green; the worst 12 blocks of America. Compared to that your street is Sesame Street. So you can say it is very personal between Brett and Fergi. So go ahead and make us wait while you fight Tank and Shamrock. Hell, why not fight Hackney, Harold Howard, Fred Ettish and the rest of Jurassic MMA? And while your shuckin’ and duckin’ we will be hustlin’ and muscilin’ and when the bell finally tolls the only real question left is … do you wake up looking at canvas or arena lights?
EliteXC should actually be thankful that Brett Rogers is willing to create enough drama around this situation without their help. If Kimbo is going to eventually lose to Rogers as the Rogers camp predicts, it's better to do so to a heated and known enemy than a anonymous yet talented opponent. I don't think the same heat will carry over should Shamrock win, but Rogers' bonus shots at Shamrock certainly can't hurt.
The only question is what sort of post-fight antics can we expect should Slice win and Rogers enter the cage for the post-fight interview? If it's as bad as the Noons vs. Diaz dust up, I'll live. If it turns into something as violent as the Source Awards, I will have quite a bit to say.

Gotta admit that made me laugh about 9 time, and has me wanting to see Rogers vs "Fergie" a little more.
Well done team bison.

I might be in the minority here, but I think all this shit talking that Rogers is doing is kind of annoying. I seriously hope Kimbo knocks his ass out.

at least the guy(or whoever wrote this) knows some history of the business hes in, and frankly what he wrote is true while being hilarious. he needs to fight kimbo soon, whether kimbo wins or loses against shammy because elitexc has to capitalize on this before the hype, and the promotion fizzle.

Ok, I got no problem with bashing Shamrock or Severn, but as soon as Fred Ettish's name got thrown out there, Rogers lost me as a fan forever. Is nothing sacred?

His battle with Rhodes in UFC2 was a war of epic proportions, to say the least.................................

I think what brett said was great hes really just tryingto hype this fight between him and jimbo up, and get people to see that kimbo isnt what the casual mma fans think he is, as soon as he fights any decent fighter he will be destroyed.

i'm with you....pretty much. Kimbo has been saying all along that he's new to this, that's he's just a baby in the sport...he's been very cool and humble about it all for the most part. I think it'd be pretty fresh if he enough going to beat rogers by the time they fight.
