Kimbo Slice has been annouced as one of the 16 fighters that will be competing on the Ultimate Fighter reality show TUF 10. The show is going to feature only heavyweights and this is the first time the TUF reality show will feature only one weight class. The coaches for the show are Rashad Evans and Rampage Jackson. The coach selection a lone has made the show very interesting. Now with the addition of Kimbo Slice it could put this season over the top.
Wow!! This is strange news considering the fact Dana White has consistently bashed Kimbo Slice by calling him a joke, not a real figther, etc. etc.. Hopefully Kimbo survives and proves Dana White wrong and gets a shot at fighting in the UFC. I know Kimbo may not be the greatest fighter in the world but give the guy a break he just wants to fight.
Honestly it is a genius idea by the UFC. Ratings have been going down and the talent pool for the reality show is getting awfully slim so going out and getting Kimbo on the show makes a lot of sense. Kimbo has a huge following and people still want to see him fight despite his 14 second loss to Seth Petruzelli.
One things for sure the move as actually got me in interested in watching the reality show again. I’m defintely not gonna miss a episode as long as Kimbo Slice is in the house.
