Warning- tuf 10 spoiler !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fear not "Kimbo" fans, the former YouTube sensation may have one more shot on ****e TV.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has learned from sources close to the situation that Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson is likely to fight on the live finale of this season's "The Ultimate Fighter 10."
Slice revealed in a media call earlier this week that he was preparing for a December contest, and while a brief exchange led many to believe that bout would take place at UFC 107, MMAjunkie.com has learned that to be unlikely.
The Ultimate Fighter 10 Live Finale is scheduled for Dec. 5 at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.
While sources indicated Slice was likely to appear on the evening's card, what's still unclear (and of course, required by all with direct knowledge to stay under wraps) is how Slice makes it to the final show.
Slice was defeated by former IFL heavyweight champion Roy Nelson via second-round TKO in Episode No. 3, which debuted on Wednesday night. While that loss eliminated Slice from immediate contention, UFC president Dana White reminded all viewers that an injury to another competitor could easily put the former streetfighter right back into the mix.
****e TV's production of the Episode No. 4 preview also fed into that theory as Slice's fellow Team Rampage fighter and new friend Marcus Jones was seen struggling to deal with a knee injury that was first shown in last night's episode.
Of course, the live finale does not consist solely of tournament finalists, and Slice could simply be asked back as a participant in one of the remaining bouts on the card.
While it is unknown whether Slice's potential Dec. 5 bout is planned for the evening's main or preliminary card, the ratings success of this season's show – spurred primarily on by the former EliteXC star – would seem to dictate a television slot is likely.
