You know, why would a man who has been fighting for like, 20 years, and weighs 206 fully clothed for his fight against Kimbo choose to go and get it stiched, and then go to the commission with a booboo, rather than use the oldest, (and most effective in the situation) trick in the book?

That is why I question it all.

And the weigh in was the most stupid thing i've ever seen.
Anyone thinking Ken Shamrock chickened out is insane. He trained for months and had every chance of beating Kimbo on national TV in a make or break fight and he was gonna make huge money. He has fought better guys who were going to guaranteed smash him (Tito Ortiz for example) and he showed up and in wicked shape.

Seriously, when you're panicking, you don't think straight. He probably didn't even think about glue until it was brought up on TV. And even if he did glue it, if the commission spotted it then it wouldn't have mattered anyway.
