Kimbo to fight on UFC card in May



Fox Sports

Kimbo Slice's MMA career will resume with a May 8 bout in Montreal against former NFL play Matt Mitrione.

The bout will be on the undercard of UFC 113, headlined by the rematch of Lyoto Machida with Mauricio Rua.

Slice came to national prominence three years ago. A burly, bearded former Miami strip club bouncer, he became the face of MMA after CBS began showing his bouts for its short-lived EliteXC promotion.

Slice was signed by UFC in its heavyweight division last year. He appeared on its TV reality show before making his UFC debut with a victory over Houston Alexander in December.

Mitrione played nine games with the New York Giants as a defensive tackle in 2002.

Mitrione has heavy hands and a great chin. This one will be interesting.

I have no idea who this Mitrione is and if he's any good at fighting but Kimbo completely blows.

ooops - runner-up?

Won a fight against Scott Junk and lost to James McSweeney. Roy Nelson won and Brendan Schaub got 2nd. Mitrione was not one of the final 4 I don't think.

matt is the one who pretended to be overly injured for a few days as part of his psychological advantage

got ya, thanks. I watched that entire season of TUF - sorry my memory is awful.

You probably just got him confused with Schaub, who is also a former NFL player.

kimbo needs to have surgery to have any shot at being halfway decent, dont know how you can go into a ring with another guy swinging bombs or bare knuckle fight on the streets but your afraid of a needle
