Kimbo Slice Is Now UFC-Certified

07 Dec 2009 04:47:58 PST

Written by Kid Nate
Truth is, without denigrating Slice, there are more fighters in the UFC's heavyweight (and light heavyweight) division that he can't beat than there are that he can. Slice has made his point. He started on a guillotine choke at one point, but quickly let it go.

Written by Bryan Levick
The biggest question is if he can make the added cut and compete as a light heavyweight. If he decides the cut is too much, and stays as a heavyweight, there aren't too many fighters in the UFC that he matches up all that well with. So now we will wait and see what's next for Mr. Kevin Ferguson.
