It's safe to say that Kimbo Slice will never be remembered as one of the greatest MMA fighters of all-time, but few can argue with the incredible impact he has had on the sport in less than two years. Eleven months after his shocking loss to Seth Petruzelli, the former street fighter turned professional fighter will officially begin the next chapter of his controversial career this Wednesday on Spike, as he will be one of 16 heavyweights featured on the tenth season of The Ultimate Fighter. FanHouse spoke to Slice recently about his experience on the show, his future in MMA and whether he would ever shave his famous beard. The full video interview is below. (Warning: video contains some explicit language.)

I agree. Kimbo knows his way around the media and cameras. I liked hearing that his fire is still burning for mma action. He's what, 35, so the close is ticking for him. DW should shut his mouth some times. Kimbo is what he is.

kimbo Slice sold himself well on "youTube" and now is in the cage. He looked "ok" for the first two fights, however, his last lost sure showed the out of condition and lack of MMA skills. If he is going to be successful in this sport, he needs to shy away from the bright-lights and focus on what he truly wants to make of the UFC....

you said: "however, his last lost sure showed the out of condition and lack of MMA skills"
I say: he got dropped with the first punch, how is that a lack of skill/condition???

anyone can go down any given day, even with the fakest looking punch. It's that punching chance. You guys are acting like you haven't seen other fighters go down the same way.
btw.. chuck norris all day! you cant beat the texas ranger.

Have you ever seen BJ Penn or Nick Diaz go down from such a punch? I kinda like Kimbo, but the fight with Seth definitely proved he doesn't have a chin.

Really, Eric?
So... Chuck Lidell didn't fall from 1 punch? (you want a piece of him?)
Cro Kop from 1 kick?
Couture?
Good fighters, tough men, can fall from 1 punch. I don't think Kimbo is the greatest MMA fighter, but don't be so foolish as to sell him THAT short.

Excellent interview. I have to say I really have come to like Kimbo here recently. Ever since his lose to Seth he has really become one down to earth and humble dude. He doesn't seem like the ass that he was made out to be when I first saw him.
