“What has the guy done to deserve to be in the UFC? Nothing. I don’t consider him a real athlete or anything. He won’t win The Ultimate Fighter (TUF). The offer is out there if he wants to take it and he won’t win it. I might [put a heavyweight show together just for him].”
UFC President Dana White answers a question at the UFC 90: “Silva vs. Cote” post-fight press conference about the chances of Kimbo Slice fighting inside the Octagon someday soon. Slice — a Miami street brawler turned mixed martial artist — is now out of a job because of the collapse of Elite XC. And while he may still be raw in terms of all around skills, Slice has huge drawing power — people flock to their televisions or computers to watch him do his thing. Therefore, it’s safe to say that if Slice does take up White on his offer that Spike TV ratings would likely go through the roof. But locking Kimbo in a house with several up-and-comers in their twenties for six weeks doesn’t ever seem like it would happen. Who knows, but the offer is apparently Slice’s for the taking to perhaps prove White wrong and earn a UFC contract.

I personally would love to see him in TUF. Like the article said, it would draw huge numbers for Spike. Please accept Kimbo, and let me see you get your shit tossed.

Dana White is stupid for talking about Kimbo like he is because Kimbo could bring HUGE numbers.

Kimbo Slice is still a more recognizable name than any of the chodes in UFC. Go ask 100 random people to name an MMA fighter and I guarantee you most of them will say Kimbo Slice. Dana White is a faggot with a girl's name.
Should have just kept his mouth shut. Got him signed, build him, and see what happens. If he started out small he'd still be a star, and would win against bums. Then he could develop, and possibly become an even bigger star.
Kimbo Slice has been exposed and the company he was fighting under has crumbled... I think the only thing he really has left is his name value. If Slice were to go on TUF he could slowly rebuild his legacy but, this time he could build up a being legit and not an overrated farce.
Kimbo should rebuild himself. He won't forget that lost against Seth Whateverthefukhislastnameis, and this lost should motivate him to be a true MMA fighter. Kimbo does have a choice: Either sign with Dana White to UFC and be on TUF, enter MMA fights around the world to improve yourself, or never show your face on national TV and go back fighting no namers and post them on Youtube? It's his choice and needs to make the best of it.
