By John Morgan [kingofabuelos] That's the date the UFC has reserved for The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale and would seem to lend further credence to recent reports that Alexander will face Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson (3-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) at the Spike TV-broadcast event.

By James Ryan On Saturday November 7th , the Strikeforce promotional debut on CBS will no doubt open up a whole new market for both Strikeforce and MMA in general. Now all Strikeforce has to do is put on a good enough show to keep new viewers interested enough to come back. STRIKEFORCE MAIN CARD

By TLow The more I think about it, the more I can’t see the long term logic in the UFC’s pursuing Kimbo Slice.   The short-term benefit is pretty obvious. This season of TUF has enjoyed some great ratings. That means Spike can command a higher price for advertising slots, and it gives Dana White a large a...

By Barrett Hooper There are currently five weight classes in the UFC. Rich Franklin is not one of them. Neither is Kimbo Slice. Although you’d never know it from the recent trend toward catchweight bouts to accommodate these fighters. Franklin, who has yo-yoed between middleweight and light heavyweight, fo...

By Mark Chalifoux While some bouts are being pushed back and fighters are taking a little longer to heal, at least there's some good news this week. It looks like the bout between Kimbo Slice and Houston Alexander is close to official. It will be on the TUF finale card and it should be a heck of a fight. Neither guy h...

By Scott Haber Rumors have been swirling for the past month or so that TUF Season Ten poster-boy Kimbo Slice would make his official UFC debut against knockout artist Houston Alexander in December.  Various reports had the fight taking place at UFC 107 in Memphis, or at the TUF 10 Finale in Las Vegas, and n...

By Staff The Ultimate Fighter 10 is nearing the halfway point, and the teasers for a Kimbo Slice return to the show have finally stopped. One rumor that will not go away is a suspected December match up between the YouTube brawler and UFC veteran Houston Alexander. The latest piece of the puzzle may ha...

By TIM VREELAND Enter Kevin Ferguson, aka Kimbo Slice. See Kimbo is a man from the streets—once homeless a father trying to support his family. Made famous on YouTube as a bare knuckled brawler then brought into the MMA world via the now-defunct Elite XC.

By Kris Karkoski After the collapse of EliteXC, Smith debuted in Strikeforce with back-to-back wins over Terry Martin and Benji Radach before being submitted by Nick Diaz in his most-recent bout in June. For the latest Strikeforce news and Strikeforce rumors stay tuned to MMAFrenzy.com.

By Jesse Holland On the heels of his Episode 3 elimination from The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) Season 10, special attraction Kimbo Slice reflects on the mistakes he made in his losing effort against Roy Nelson and how a second encounter would yield very different results.

By Mitch Ciccarelli When YouTube street-fighting sensation Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson burst onto the MMA scene in late 2007 he brought with him a ton of hype and attention from mainstream media.

By Brent Brookhouse Luke Thomas: According to our rankings with USA Today, Nelson is ranked 20th in the world among professional heavyweights. Nelson's talents? He's strong, mostly durable, by Kimbo's standards a phenomenal grappler and has meaningful experience. And Kimbo Slice? He punches really hard....

He fought for the now-defunct EliteXC, headlining the first ever mixed martial arts card on broadcast television. He compiled a 3-0 record before losing to Se...

By Kid Nate Another factor is the resurgence of the UFC heavyweight division. With the rise of Brock Lesnar and the crop of new talent coming up in his wake -- Shane Carwin, Cain Velasquez, Junior dos Santos -- the UFC heavies are compelling for the first time in years.

By Luke Thomas The great irony in watching Dana White six months talk about how Kimbo Slice is bad for MMA is that now he’s Kimbo’s biggest pusher in the business. All the guys who tried to work with Kimbo Slice to make him into something in MMA (I’m looking at you, Bas Rutten) have to be shaking their heads and...

By Kris Karkoski After learning yesterday of the first cast member on The Ultimate Fighter 10, backyard brawler-turned-mixed martial artist Kimbo Slice, MMAjunkie has confirmed that four NFL veterans have been cast for the heavyweights-only season.

By Luke Thomas There are so many ways to unpack this situation that we can't possibly get to them in a single post. However, it's worth contextualizing the matter. At every strange or notable interval, one should remind themselves of why matters have unfolded the way they have and what it tells us about the...

By Luke Thomas First, no one is equating this with StandGate (at least I am not). The point about Kimbo is not his last fight's unethical nature, but the promotion as a "street fighter" he received irrespective of his late ignoble stand. It's about what sort of message his presence and stature as a street br...

By CagE With all the shadiness of the first EliteXC on CBS show still on our minds, it looks like we finally have some proof that EliteXC is influencing its fighters so that its cash cow (Kimbo Slice) doesn’t have to expose the weakness in his ground game.

By Michael Comeau 1) What the heck is the Florida State Boxing Commission going to do about it? Because shady business practices like this make MMA look a lot like professional wrestling. 2) Is CBS willing to continue working with EliteXC after this weekend's debacle?

By Terry Henson Make no mistake (or listen to the EliteXC spin), this was a disaster for Slice and the company. True, but Kimbo wasn’t defeated by a crafty Brazilian jiu-jitsu master. He wasn’t caught in a submission by an experienced wrestler. He didn’t lose a decision after a three-round brawl.

By Luke Thomas Local Washington, D.C. CBS radio midday talkers "Big O & Dukes" did an interview with James "Colossus" Thompson, and followed up on the issues stemming from his very controversial fight with Kimbo Slice two weeks ago on the CBS Saturday Night Fights "EliteXC: Primetime" event.

That. Was. Awesome! And possibly somewhat staged. Obviously, even to a novice MMA fan such as myself, the point of this primetime broadcast wasn’t to display the kick ass skills of MMA fighters. It was meant to be a circus sideshow in which physical freak and Youtube sensation Kimbo Slice merc...
