UFC 113, which is scheduled for the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on May 1, 2010, could feature the pay-per-view (PPV) debut of Spike TV/CBS ratings monster, Kimbo Slice, according to FiveOuncesofPain.com.
Although unconfirmed at this time, Slice is expected to take on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 10 castmate, Matt Mitrione, in a potentially hard-hitting heavyweight attraction.
More on this breaking news in a bit.
UFC 113 features the much-anticipated rematch between 205-pound division champion, Lyoto Machida, defending his belt against fellow Brazilian Mauricio "Shogun" Rua in the main event of the evening.

If Dana was in the Kimbo business he'd put him up against Jardine.
He should also force him to fight at LHW where he has a small chance of dictating where his fights take place against smaller fighters. This is a joke of a matchup and Kimbo is most likely going to have big trouble winning.
fresh like uhh.
I don't know about u guys'
I wanna see this fight…. ‘what’?… Did u think Kimbo was gonna’ make a run at the title?… HAHAHAHAHA! not…. c’mon’ this is undercard entertainment… Yeah’ Kimbo should fight at 205lbs… but u saw his attitude… he doesn’t have a weight cutter’s mentality… he likes to get his ‘grub on’…this is a good fight for both recent TUF winners.
Well even though Mitrione has more skills than him,
Dana is banking on matt gassing and getting UD’d.

I think Mimbo re-aggravates Meathead’s concussion. And if this is on a PPV card it had better be the opening fight and not a co-main event.
The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful
They got Page/Shad and Shogun/Machida
I doubt Kimbo is in a co-main event fight.

Were you not just knocking SF in the Herschel Walker thread RiverHorror?
Yet you come to defend Kimbo. You try to call people out for being hypocrites, but Dana is the biggest one of all. You make no sense.

Love to see Kimbo win, but...
he won’t. What then? It the UFC wanted to keep him marketable, they’d just put him up against other strikers with zero ground game.
Like maybe... Houston Alexander?

HaHa
I’m going to Montreal. I don’t want to see this fight at all. LOL

THIS CARD IS GOING TO BE SICK FOR YOU GUYS!!
Kos vs Daley added also isn’t it?? Some serious fights lined up for Montreal.
Tito Ortiz: I think Chuck's lost a step, maybe i've lost a step also, but that's what makes the fight so exciting!
Crazy good card and will actually be worth the 59.99 they charge for PPV...
Although most of the fights have not been finalized, here is the current card in the works:
Machida vs. Rua
Rampage vs. Evans
Koscheck vs. Daley
Cote vs.Belcher
TJ Grant vs. Hicks
Jeremy Stephans vs. Sam Stout
Kimbo vs. Mitrione (the worst fight on the card)
Goulet vs. Marcus Davis
Yeah, looks good
But they always bring good cards to Montreal. At least as far as name value goes. Kimbo had better not be on the televised portion. They can’t leave Stout on the under card after his last fight. I think “the Heathen” is a step down from Joe Lauzon.

argh..this makes me sad.
vancouver won’t even be worth going to..why oh why..not fair..whine complain bitch moan…this card is so staked..and i don’t even wanna know how crap they are gonna make the only ufc event that is close to me is gonna be..grrrrrr
I feel bad for you.:(
But this is the first card of hopefully many for you guys. You might want to sit this one out and wait for the big return card.

yeppers
i’ll just watch the show from the comfort of my own home..or, maybe go to vancouver and watch it from my brothers house..lol i can see the building they will be fighting in from there..
Stay at home, watch it in the comfort of your own home and maybe a little donkey punching......lol

It is a championship rematch and 2 fights that set up contenders I believe...
Rampage vs. Evans and Kos. vs. Daley have to have contender implications. Daley is working his way through the ranks and Kos never got a shot at the belt only the 3 round match before GSP fought Serra the second time. If I remember correctly, Kos actually did not do to bad and sustained very little damage, in comparison to the beating that Fitch took.
I can only wonder what the main event will bring. I imagine they both are going to want to come out with a, “I gotta finish this fight!” mentality after all the backlash from the first fight.
I'm gutted that once again a huge fight involving a British fighter is being used on a stacked card outside of this country
It doesn’t look good for UK fans wanting to see a big event, they haven’t announced anything and all of our stars are all set for the biggest fights of their lives. I’d be happy to see any of GSP-Hardy, Semtex-Kos and Wandi-Bisping main event a British card but once again we get shafted, we haven’t even got to see Semtex fight live on a British UFC card yet.
It looks like our next show will be in London, though Semtex did mention that there could be a Fight Night in Nottingham with him and Kos in the main event before they agreed to fight in Montreal. I hope something gets announced soon because at this rate the next UFC card I’ll be going to will be a Vegas one in 2011 for my 21st.

On BE they saying Matt's facebook page says that he knows nothing of this fight with Kimbo, weird???

Haha typical Meathead
I’m not bothered if it happens or not to be honest, I’d laugh if this news was a load of rubbish. Either that or Meathead is even dumber than I thought.

On another note, your fairly learned in your facts on any MMA topic for someone who isn't 21 till 2011!
You’ve forgotten more than I have learned I’d say, were you locked in your room as a kid and a new mma dvd slid under your door every month?? lol.
Seriously tho, you know your shit in fairness to you.

Lol that'd be a dream childhood, sat around watching MMA all the time
Seriously I always want to know as much as I can about everything that I’m interested in and right now MMA is the sport that I’m most keen on. I always get carried away with my interests and take the “I have to know as much as possible” attitude.

It waht world are Shogun, Machida
and Kimbo on the same card? LOL @ Dana.
@fjbar on twitter...formerly El Mexicutioner
my thoughts exactly. I fucking knew Kimbo was gonna be on a PPV main card but everyone was saying, no it’s ok he’s only going to be on UFNs and TUF Finales. I mean, how can you consider a sport legitimate when Kimbo Slice is on your maincard of a PPV, which is supposedly reserved for the very top talent.
"Matt Hughes and his brother used to pound each other out behind the barn."
-The legendary Mike Goldberg
Imagine how the fighters feel, they have to secretly hate this guy....lol
In all seriousness though, it must kill fighters inside, that the sport they adore and train day in, day out, year after year to try get a brake and the respect they deserve and never can and then Kimbo is on the same card as TOP CLASS fighters, and better fighters on the under-card!!

Brendan Schaub pretty much summed up what fighters think of Kimbo when he first arrived on TUF
“Fuck that guy”. Can’t stand Kimbo, he has no skills yet keeps getting promoted as if he’s some sort of bad arse and people still keep watching him. Unfortunately this fight is guaranteed to be on the main card and truly deserving guys like Stout and Hendricks are going to be stuck on the prelims as a result.

Hey Mania!!
It should be TUF 10 not 11
hated mitrione during the show as many people probly did but his comments after his win made me kind of turn it around a bit. But il still be rooting for Kimbo!!
by Wingblade on Jan 16, 2010 8:51 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Mitrione should have been kicked off of TUF 10
He ruined the last part of the season, which was in my opinion the worst TUF season to date!!!
If I was Rashad I'd have kicked him off the team as soon as he started acting as if he didn't want to fight
Still it was funny seeing Kimbo go on and on and on about wanting to fight again then making up a load of dodgy excuses for not competing. He ended up being as bad as Meathead.

Go mitrione. Kimbo will lose to a hw. He won’t be able to slam Matt like he did houstan

Kimbo is getting kayooed again
But this time it wont come from some little jab
by Lester The Pimp on Jan 16, 2010 9:05 PM EST reply actions
kimbo wins
Matt sucks he gasses eaarly and really has no skill on the ground or the feet. Wait Kimbo has no skill on the ground or on the feet. To crappy boxers going at it. I think Kimbo is faster so he wins but who cares they both suck.
Hopefully this doesn't last long
I can’t stand either of them, Mitrione is gutless and a coward who spent the whole of TUF bitching about made up injuries. The fact that he submitted without any real resistance to McSweeney and ended Junk’s career with an eye poke makes me hate the guy even more, plus he has no cardio and is nothing more than a failed NFL player trying to brawl.
As for Kimbo I’ve made my feelings on him and his hype pretty clear. I don’t care who wins, as long as it’s exciting and doesn’t waste too much PPV time, if it doesn’t end quick then expect another sloppy mess like Kimbo-Houston and Mitrione-Junk.
Unfortunately this fight is guaranteed to be on the main card as Kimbo is a big draw and the UFC are desperate for PPV buys right now after the recent disastrous numbers for 106 and 108.

meathead hits hard to.. good fight
holy shit....
i thought this was a fake pic at first. you’re right, he would lose his rating power if he shaved the pubic beard.

WTF
Is this pic legit or did you doctor it up? He looks like a black, balding Charlie Chaplin on roids.

50/50 imo. Kimbo is faster but Mitrione has freaky power. Good matchup, Joe.
This will be a fun match. Both these guys will never be champions. A win over Kimbo makes Mitrione marketable as a midcard gate keeper. And THAT makes it easy for the UFC to feed highlight reel finishes to the guys who are in line for a titleshot. Which they need for UFN/TUF Finale main events or to use as co main events when there’s no title fights on the PPVs.
Lol another interesting matchup for montreal
I actually think kimbo will win this fight, besides this fight montreal card is starting to look stacked, dana is making up for last time. Cant wait to see this card live.
Agreed but want Kimbo to knock this punk out!!
Tito Ortiz: I think Chuck's lost a step, maybe i've lost a step also, but that's what makes the fight so exciting!
No interest.
I really don’t care to see kimbo or matt fighting.
There’s only 2 people I’d like to see from that show again, Brendan and James McSweeny. They’d both bring some excitement to the heavyweight division. Kimbo vs matt doesn’t interest me in the slightest.
I reckon mitrone, unless kimbos mastered his ground game
The rest of the card looks pretty good tho.
This fight should be a fun one to watch
but if you dont like it you could always go make some nachos when this fight comes on lol
Kimbo Vs Buentello
Mitrione is a horrible choice for Kimbo to fight , he still needs to take baby steps in the UFC since his ground game is garbage. Now Paul Buentello is still a very tuff dude and he also has a terrible ground game . I think this fight would be awesome especially since Paul is back in the UFC . Kimbo Vs Buentello could be a main event in my eyes like on a Fight night or something , not so much a pay per view, but maybe.
Kimbo-Buentello shouldn't main event anything
Both of them are garbage, I’ve never rated either of them and neither are relevant in the HW division, though at least Buentello has had to earn his spot and has fought some top opposition which is more than I can say about Kimbo. Again that fight would be exciting if it ended quick but if both guys brawled past the early rounds then expect them to both gas out.
