That’s right, dawg. Kimbo’s first fight in the UFC is official for December 5th at the finale of this season’s The Ultimate Fighter, live on Spike at 9pm ET/PT.
Spike and the UFC sent an announcement confirming rumors that Kimbo would fight at the finale. It is not yet certain whether he’ll be fighting for the six-figure contract, or if he’s going to be there as one of the recalls from the show.
The Ultimate Fighter takes a break from its regular schedule Thanksgiving week and will return the following week with a two-hour special on December 2 at 9pm. During this episode, Kimbo’s opponent will be announced – depending on what happens in competition. Matt Mitrione is still struggling with injuries and if he can’t “get the sand out of his vagina,” as Kimbo says, he seems to be first in line to step in and fill the empty spot.

Although Kimbo was much different on the show then I expected. I still hope he gets knocked the fuck out by Houston.

KIMBO SLICE’S FUTURE REVEALED TONIGHT ON SPIKE INTERNET SENSATION FUELS SPECULATION ON HIS UFC® FATE
Las Vegas, NV (USA) – The much-anticipated two-hour finale of Season 10 of The Ultimate Fighter® airs tonight at 9pm ET on Spike and the world will learn which two fighters will compete for the six-figure UFC contract at The Pearl at The Palms Casino Resort this Saturday night. Of equal importance, millions will tune in to learn the fate of Internet legend and knockout artist Kimbo Slice.
The subject of much debate since joining The Ultimate Fighter® in September, Slice has attracted audiences far and wide, all eager to learn more about the bearded 35-year-old. Most are asking the same question of tonight’s broadcast: will Slice get another opportunity to fight on the show?
With the sports world buzzing about the Miami, FL resident’s future inside the Octagon™, Slice spoke Tuesday and offered brief insight about his time on the show, as well as what lies ahead.
“If I had to do the show again, I would,” Slice said. “I learned a lot about myself and got to work with some great fighters. Now it’s time for the next step in my career. Everyone will see what that is tonight on Spike.”
When asked to elaborate, the man who owns wins over UFC veteran Tank Abbott and former PRIDE fighter James Thompson, was a little more revealing.
“It’s gonna be good,” Slice said with a grin. “Watch the show tonight. You’ll see what’s next for me. All I can say is that somebody’s getting knocked out.
“Everybody knows what my stronghold is,” Slice continued, clenching his fist. “People will be able to see me and judge for themselves.”

Wonder if Kimbo will make weight
Slice usually fights at around 235 pounds. It’s the first time he’s had to cut weight in his two-plus years as an MMA fighter – and he’s not liking it.
“Not good,” the generously bearded heavyweight said of his first weigh cut. “Not good. Moody… you just don’t feel the same. It’s mental, but it’s not a good feeling, to be honest with you.”
During a media teleconference promoting Saturday’s event, Slice, who admitted he neglected to enlist the aid of a dietician for his introductory cut, was short with reporters asking about his fight.
