Word on the street is Kimbo WILL get another chance to fight — against knockout artist Houston Alexander in the TUF finale in December.

Houston Alexander exploded onto the scene with two first-round knockouts in his UFC fights, but then faded with 3 straight losses including a devastating superman punch KO to James Irvin.

Both Kimbo and Alexander are big punchers with no ground game, so if this happens it would be crazy KO ending.

However, the fight is rumored to be at a catchweight of 215 lbs., so Kimbo would have to cut some serious weight and come in leaner than ever.

So Kimbo lost his first fight in the Ultimate Fighter season. His first TUF fight was against IFL champion Roy Nelson AKA Big Country, which is no easy matchup. Rashad Evans chose Roy Nelson to fight Kimbo because he knew he had the best chance against the mythical Kimbo Slice.

Even though he lost, Kimbo still rocked Roy Nelson with some big shots before being pinned in a crucifix position. Looks like his ground game hasn’t improved much, but he can still KO people.

Even though the TUF episodes keep teasing viewers with a return of Kimbo, this has been going on for weeks so who knows what happens next.

As you know by now, Kimbo Slice is on TUF 10 (The Ultimate Fighter season 10) on Rampage Jackson’s team. It’s Rampage vs. Rashad Evans this time, and there have been a bunch of rumors floating around about how Kimbo fared in the show, including:

1. Kimbo vs. Wes Sims where Kimbo wins - This has to be fake since Kimbo is on Wes’ team

2. Kimbo wins his first fight and then gets kicked out of the house for street fighting in the house (Seems possible)

3. Kimbo loses his first fight

What do you think’s going to happen?

Bahamian Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) professional fighter Kevin ‘Kimbo Slice’ Ferguson, speaking exclusively with The Nassau Guardian yesterday, disclosed plans to venture into the professional boxing arena as soon as his contract is fulfilled.

The 35-year-old 6′2″, 235-pound phenomenon expressed these intentions on Monday, a day before returning to his Miami, Florida based home. Ferguson became a household name after signing a professional contract with Showtime’s EliteXC in 2007. Before that, he gained notoriety on the underground fighting scene through the Internet.

“Boxing is really my first desire. I have a lot of love for it and believe I can do pretty well. [The sport of] MMA is somewhat of a project for me. Boxing is one dimensional while there are a lot of dimensions in MMA. I don’t think it would be a hard transition from MMA to stand-up boxing because of my fighting style,” noted Ferguson, who has brought international prestige to The Bahamas through his MMA exploits.

Inside the house, Dhafir Harris is on the phone. The hulking 32-year-old is pacing in his mother’s living room, counting the ways in which the day has already gone wrong. He runs a scarred hand through his Mr. T-like Mohawk and sighs.

“Two fighters aren’t going to make it because they’re in jail,” he says into his cell phone. “I don’t know what happened to my video guy either. And I can’t start without the camera rolling.”

Harris, a budding fight promoter, has for weeks looked forward to this Saturday after Thanksgiving. There will be five fights in the back yard in the next few hours. There are no rules and no doctors on hand, meaning there is nothing to keep the ex-cons now standing on the front lawn from seriously maiming, if not killing, each other once they get in the makeshift ring in the back yard.

Solid TV ratings and the iconic Kimbo Slice, ex-Miami Street Fighter, on network television were not enough to overcome an almost sixty-million-dollar deficit for Pro Elite, the parent company of EliteXC and several other MMA events.

So what’s next for Kimbo?

Kimbo Slice had a sudden flight to celebrity, practically unrivaled in mixed martial arts, but just as quickly as his reputation soared, it’s become stained by his most-recent loss, one so repulsive that it is under scrutiny by a Florida MMA regulatory board.

It took exactly 14 seconds earlier this month for last-minute replacement Seth Petruzelli to knock out Kimbo Slice, dismantle his reputation, and cast doubt upon one of the most popular professional fighters’ legitimacy as a true mixed martial artist.

Almost. Here’s a revealing interview with Joe Riggs where he talks Kimbo Slice and a fight that almost happened a few years ago, back when Kimbo was still taking opponents for street fights. Riggs says this was back in 2003 when his trainer offered to put up $50,000 in a prizefight against Kimbo, but the offer was turned down when it was discovered that Riggs had a lot of pro experience.
