Kimbo didn't back out. The show was canceled because a major investor backed out. Both of these guys are worthless in my opinion.

Former PRIDE and Pancrase competitor Ricardo Almeida's return from retirement as well as a matchup between former street brawlers, Tank Abbott vs. Kimbo Slice, will not happen next Friday.
The Cage Fury Fighting Championships 6 "Unleashing the Fury" event scheduled for October 12 in Atlantic City, New Jersey has been cancelled due to a major investor pulling out.
CFFC President Felix Martinez released a statement today announcing the cancellation:
"It is with deep regret that I have to announce the cancellation of Cage Fury's October 12th event. I did everything in my power to make this show happen for the fighters and the fans. However, I could not overcome the loss of a major investor for this show who decided to pull out at the last moment. With the loss of this investor, I cannot proceed with another first class event. It has always been my intention to provide the best combative sport entertainment that I could. I am very sorry for having to cancel this event and sincerely apologize to all the fighters, the fans and our dedicated staff."
