Kimbo Slice will re-enter the Octagon on Dec. 5 for
“The Ultimate Fighter 10” Finale, announced Spike TV on Monday.
“Slice’s opponent will be announced at a later date, pending on what transpires on the special two-hour “The Ultimate Fighter” episode on Wednesday, December 2 (9:00-11:00pm ET/PT),” the cable network said in a press release.
Houston Alexander, who was approved for re-licensure on Nov. 3 by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, is expected to face Slice, whose real name is Kevin Ferguson.
Sherdog.com has learned the bout will likely be contested at a catch-weight of 215 pounds.
Alexander, who had to undergo additional review for being a potential participant that is 35 years or older, told the NSAC that he’d be fighting on Dec. 5, but did not identify his opponent.
Alexander earned a first-round technical knockout against
Sherman Pendergarst in a heavyweight bout at AMMA 4 last September. Alexander has a 2-3 record in the UFC’s light heavyweight division.
Slice, 34, who appeared on this season’s “The Ultimate Fighter,” is currently training at American Top Team in Coconut Creek, Fla., for the bout.
Roy Nelson eliminated Slice from the reality show’s first round of competition with a second-round TKO.
Slice’s Dec. 5 bout will air live on Spike TV.
