It’s being reported all over… Kimbo Slice will be on season 10 of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF). The coaches are set to be Rampage Jackson and Rashad Evans.
Kimbo Slice is arguably the biggest attention getter for any network and would easily boost Spike’s ratings to levels never seen before. Not to mention the PPV buys that would be brought in. Kimbo Slice has not won a fight in quite some time. His last fight coming from a surprising loss from Seth Petruzelli with a “weak” knockout.
Kimbo was known for his street fights and for fighting on national stations like CBS. He will now be placed in the octagon with some of the best upcoming fighters and I for one don’t think he’ll come out alive. Dana White has said plenty of things about Slice in the past.
White has called him a “joke,” a “bum” and “not a real fighter,” among other less than kind descriptions. He said that Slice would “get murdered if he fought in the UFC” and suggested that his lightweight champion, 155-pound B.J. Penn, would “annihilate” the 230-pound Slice.
“It should be interesting, given some of the things I’ve said about him,” White said.
Nonetheless, this will be fun to watch. Maybe Slice will prove me wrong but I have a gut feeling that the fighters will be out to get Kimbo and want to fight him.

It’s been reported that Kimbo Slice lost in his first fight by massive ko in the first round, and then stormed off the set. I expected as much. I bet Dana did also. Big Country all the way!!

I hope they made him take a bath. Why would he appear on the previews if he didnt even make it into the house.

He needs to get his ground game straight.
