The Ultimate Fighter Season 10 has begun and this time it’s the big boys’ turn to battle it out for a six-figure contract and of course, earn TUF fame and notoriety. Among these giants are several former NFL players, an experienced, title-holding ex- IFL fighter (Roy Nelson) and a “back-yard brawler” who gained international recognition through his raw, street-fighting ability (Kimbo Slice). Only 3 weeks into TUF match-ups, Team Evan’s coach Rashad Evans has selected Nelson and Kimbo as the next elimination bout. This match-up is as political as it is strategic—it entices viewers and pits Evan’s experienced Nelson against Team Rampage’s less experienced number one pick: Kimbo Slice.
You cannot deny the MMA advantage Roy Nelson holds over Kimbo Slice; Roy has competed at the prestigious Abhu Dahbi Grappling Championships, won and defended an IFL title 3 times and has trained with some of the world’s greatest fighters including Randy Couture, Tito Ortiz, Ken Shamrock and Ricco Rodgriguez. Roy is also a black belt in Brazilian Jiujisu under Renzo Gracie.
Kimbo Slice on the other hand is tough as steel and will fight with a pressing motivation to prove he has expanded his MMA skills beyond the backyard and can hold his own against some of the world’s most expertly trained mixed martial artists.
The burly street fighter is undeniably a force to be reckoned with and if the experienced Nelson underestimates Kimbo's strength, stamina and ability he could very well find himself KTFO!
The fight will be aired Wednesday on Spike T.V at 10pm (pacific standard).
