No matter where you look, it's going to be costly laying money on Kimbo Slice to beat Tank Abbott this Saturday night. At -450 odds, Slice would require a $4.50 bet to win $1.00. The Elite XC Fight max in some cases won't pay out much more than $100, though many believe this is the closest thing to a "lock" if there ever was one. The maximum bet that can be placed is $500 at Bookmaker.com - that's a few dollars more than the $450 bet that would yield a $100 win. Keep in mind that assuming Slice were to win, you would get back that initial $450 bet. Tank Abbott is said to be beyond his prime. Some books, like Bookmaker.com, would out $350 for every $100 bet on Abbott if he were to somehow pull an upset out of his sleeve. Don't count on it.
Abbott was a
frequent participant
in the Ultimate
Fighting
Championship (UFC).
As of 2007 he had a
record of 8-10 in
that promotion.
Abbott made his
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)

400 lb, in 18
seconds. Later that
night he fought Oleg
Taktarov for over 17
minutes before
succumbing to a rear
naked choke.
