Definately going to be watching the 10th season of "The Ultimate Fighter" the UFC's version of a reality show... Kimbo Slice is going to take his shot at becoming the next UFC superstar... Dana White (UFC President) said in an interview that the only way that Kimbo would ever make it into the UFC is if he won "The Ultimate Fighter" reality show.. and it looks like Kimbo took Dana's offer.
Kimbo doesnt even have to win the show, he will be in the UFC no matter what after this season. If they are putting him on comercials already, he will deffinatly be in the UFC after this.
season 10 should have alot of stoppages and not that many decisions cause these guys are big as fck and can end the fight at any time. only time i see a decision coming is bad conditioning slowing the fight down
should be good fights. not a fan of the reality show aspect of it but i try and catch the fights
kimbo wont have to win TUF to be in the ufc.. theres been a lot of fighters who have lost on TUF and fought in the ufc, some really bad ones.. like andy wang..
anyway the only way i see kimbo never appearing in a UFC event (yes fight nights count) is if he were embarrassed badly in the first fight he has on TUF, and even if that happens i still see kimbo having at least 1 UFC fight
kimbo will definitely get six figures regardless of winning or losing . if he wins like dana said already his contract will definitely be different than the others , but kimbo knows better that he can get paid 6 figures from k1 max , strikeforce , and even affliction if they survive after this year .there would be no incentive for him to stay with the UFC if he isnt getting 6 figures.

phrikshin : "IF I CAN EVER GET ON A PRO TEAM" - ROFLMAO!
Just goes to show all dana cares about is money and not the sport. Like when he said if brock lesnar defeated mir he could have a shot at the title but then he lost to mir and got a title shot anyways lol.
#15, Even if he didn't get the 6 figure contract, he would be dumb not to go with the UFC... they're the fastest growing organization and all the other MMA leagues are lacking and struggling to stay alive... The UFC is doing quite fine in this current economy.... But like you said, he'll probably get the contract regardless.
Ultimate Fighter
Should be a interesting season.

like you said #3, Even if he doesn't win I think he'll still have a spot in the UFC, he just wont have the 6 figure contract.
