ImageLas Vegas - Popular internet street-fighter and former Elite Xc star will be making an appearance in the upcoming season of UFC's Ultimate Fighter 10. 

UFC president Dana White, has repeatedly mocked and exchanged words with the Miami based fighter regarding his lack of fighting ability.  White also offered Kimbo Slice a few months back, a chance in the UFC by competing on the TUF show.  

Kimbo Slice, who's real name "Kevin Ferguson" became a world reknown after his succesful street fight videos were posted all over YouTube. Slice fought for the now disfunctional Elite Xc organization that drew millions to tune in.

His appearance on the show, along with former UFC light heavyweight champions Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Rashad Evans as coaches, should guarantee fireworks which results in high ratings.

"It should be interesting, given some of the things I've said about him," White said.

Slice currently holds a 3-1 professional MMA record. He appeared in the main event of the first MMA card shown on network television in the U.S. when he fought James Thompson on May 31, 2008, on CBS.

Slice's last fight against late-replacement Seth Petruzelli, back in October 4th shocked the world.  Petruzelli knocked out Slice with a jab just 14 seconds into the fight, which was broadcasted on CBS.

As talked about already, If Slice is able to advance to the live Dec. 5 finale and earn the UFC contract, the ratings would most likely be the largest yet in Spike history.
