Just because he lost in 14 seconds to UFC washout and replacement fighter Seth Petruzelli and just because his biggest supporters, Elite XC, aren't around anymore, doesn't mean there isn't still a market for Kimbo Slice.
Indeed, people are interested in his services, but it's not as a fighter (not yet, anyway).
Perhaps this a little hard to believe, but Slice will make his Nickelodeon acting debut on "Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh," which is set to premiere on the kid-friendly network on Friday, December 5 at 8 p.m. ET.
The Christmas special is a television movie based on the popular sitcom, which ran from January 2004 through September of 2007, about two step brothers who are complete opposites but forced to live with each other and become friends because of their parents' marriage.
"Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh" will be the third television movie spin off from the series and the first since the show went off the air a little more than a year ago.
Kimbo will be play a character by the name of "Bludge" -- a bully that struggles with how he should treat people yet somehow helps Drake and Josh keep a promise they made to a group of less fortunate children.
This gig is a far cry from punching people in the face for a living for the infamous street fighter turned professional mixed martial artist. But a fighter's still gotta eat ... this should keep the bread on the table for the time being.

my sentiments exactly. Mania, I knew it was a slow news day, and thanks for warning me not to put Nick on this day! Who won the T-shirt contest?
ok, I’ll bite, is this for real? I figured by now he was already bouncing at scores ft. Lauderdale or charging 10 bucks for an autograph! Whats next a A&E biography??

Way to try and become a legitimate fighter, this will def. help in the public’s eyes and will not contribute to the gimmick at all. Next up, a monthly recurring role on Hannah Montana.

you thought he was legit?i don’t think he is trying to hide it he is gonna make his money and thats it.

Fair deuce to him on fairness
Not sayin I like him, but he’s smart enough to look after himself money wise

On a serious note, why try and be seen as a legitimate fighter when he could be acting on tweeny shows?!
by rockwell on Nov 24, 2008 2:59 PM EST reply actions
Is RealityKings still sponsoring him? Because that would make this awesome.

Seriously?
I would have expected Forrest Griffin to make his acting debut on Nickelodian and have Kimbo’s acting debut be as on Law and Order Special Victims Unit, and not the other way around…

I know right? Just rape somebody already Kimbo!

you can say “rape people” but I can’t say gay porn. moderation sucks!!!!!!!

since when did kimbo slice become “kid friendly”?
“hey kids; this is former mixed martial artist and porn industry bodygaurd kimbo slice!”

Who ever would have thought that Kimbo Slice would be a better businessman than Fedor? They’re like polar opposites.
by Graham on Nov 24, 2008 3:13 PM EST reply actions
How is that? You must know nothing about Fedor’s financial takes. Don’t get me wrong, for someone who does essentially nothing, Kimbo is playing it smart. But your uneducated comment makes you sound like a “hater.” I hate that term by the way, but it seems to fit.

absurd john, but you’re right on man.
on a side note, how bout them pats???!!!!!
by kevin on Nov 24, 2008 3:26 PM EST up reply actions

by allamerican on Nov 24, 2008 3:22 PM EST reply actions
AHAHAHA r u kidding?!?!? He should go work for In the VIP/Reality Kings again…..
by Chadx23 on Nov 24, 2008 3:25 PM EST reply actions
that actually is probably a step up in his career if he can stay of the coke,i wonder what kind of design hell have on his chest for this
by gbwarrior on Nov 24, 2008 3:36 PM EST reply actions
It’s not like he chose to do this after EliteXC failed due to needing money or anything. This was a good while before then. I dont see whats wrong with this personally. Half the ppl on here talk shit about him, but he’s doing something. Damn.

From youtube, to porn, to MMA and now Nickelodeon? If this guy was literate id be wanting a biography!
by medecine balls on Nov 24, 2008 3:51 PM EST reply actions
he doesn’t need to be literate in order to have a biography. he needs to be literate if you want an autobiography though.
by JB on Nov 24, 2008 4:17 PM EST up reply actions
Don’t be so childish/ignorant. Kimbo can read. Move along.
by MMAmania on Nov 24, 2008 4:20 PM EST up reply actions
how do you know he can read mania? not saying he can’t, but do you have inside info?
by kevin on Nov 24, 2008 4:48 PM EST up reply actions
he knows that Kimbo can read because he’s more of a star than almost any MMA fighter.. would you guys think the same things about a white fighter? I don’t think so.
by RoB on Nov 24, 2008 8:45 PM EST up reply actions
haha nice one Rob, its hard to come back to a rascism accusation, you freakin cop out.
“It’s gonna take some tiiiiiime, to reeeealiiiiiiize!!!!!”

Just busting your chops, but make sure your grammar is correct before calling someone illiterate. lol
by chefdaddy on Nov 24, 2008 4:29 PM EST up reply actions
I typed that one out way too fast ha, shouldnt have said literate as I meant more like, well spoken. I know kimbo can read, if he wrote a book though id just wonder about his word choice. Id read it either way
by medecine balls on Nov 24, 2008 4:53 PM EST up reply actions
eh….i say good for him. after all, snoop dogg runs youth football camps and has given money to kids to help pay for school. works for me.
