Out with Kimbo Slice, in with Seth Petruzelli. It's strange how certain people always seem to be connected in one way or another.
Just a couple weeks after Kimbo's release from the UFC following his UFC 113 defeat at the hands of Matt Mitrione, the man who (sorta) shocked the world by handing the Bahamian brawler his first ever professional MMA loss in just 14 seconds, Seth Petruzelli, has re-signed with the world's leading mixed martial arts promotion and will be facing UFC newcomer Ricardo Romero at UFC 116 from Las Vegas, Nevada on July 3.
"The Silverback" posted the good news just minutes ago on his Facebook page.
Petruzelli, a competitor on season two of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF), has won four consecutive fights since being cut from the UFC after his loss to Wilson Gouveia at UFC Fight Night 9 back in 2007.
Seth's opponent for his return bout in the Octagon is Ricardo Romero, who will be making his UFC debut at the tender age of 32.
The New Jersey native has compiled a 10-1 record during the course of his three-year career, where he has spent his entire time with the Ring of Combat promotion. He holds a notable win over The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 10 contestant James McSweeney.
Romero will be carrying a five-fight win streak into the fight with Petruzelli, and his only loss came via a disqualification due to an illegal soccer kick.
"The Silverback" is going to have his work cut out for him from the get-go if he wants his second go-around with the UFC to last longer than the first.

I've seen a couple of his fights for the smaller promotions.
And he’s looked pretty impressive. Glad to see him back as well. Always thought he didn’t really get enough respect. Pink hair probably had something to do with that, LOL.
Do not. I repeat, do not, go to mma-core.com. I made the mistake of watching a couple UFC 108 bouts on there and I am still trying to get all the viruses of my computer. Ridiculous! You've been warned.

Has Kimbo been officially released?
"They lie about marijuana. Tell you pot-smoking makes you unmotivated. Lie! When you're high, you can do everything you normally do, just as well. You just realize that it's not worth the fucking effort. There is a difference."
why is it obvious?

any person who follows MMA in the slightest would know this? or have you been in hibernation.

you have a source for this official release?
the only things I’ve read are that he was probably going to be released from the UFC after his loss to Mitrione. Reports have surfaced that Daley was officially released after his loss at the same event but nothing official on Kimbo.

its all been official on Kimbo..there wasn't ever any doubt...he was officially released a day or 2 after his loss
Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.
So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.
thank you my case is settled.

how much does Kimbo weigh when you are on his nuts?
How am i even remotely on Kimbo's nuts? Have i ever once said im a fan of Kimbo?
I was just telling that guy the news because he has been hibernating. So dont come at me with that bullshit saying im on his nuts, go get a life.

Seth is a 205er
he only got the Kimbo fight because he weighed in 206 on the night he was suppose to fight someone else at LHW. Matt is a solid big HW, I dont see the matchup happening.
Give a man to fish and feed him for a day. Kick his stupid ass and maybe he will leave you alone.
Cool good to hear this, Could be an exciting fight.

That is so sad...
One foot isn’t even on the ground, no hip twist, nothing… that is the weakest KO I’ve ever seen…

Petruzelli’s going to get smashed.
I graduated high school with Ricardo’s older brother and they’re freaks of nature. Amazing wrestlers with dynamite in their hands.
It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.
im glad to see him back...
