Kimbo Slice will face Houston Alexander for The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale on December 5 in Las Vegas. Alexander will soon apply to fight in Nevada and could face Kimbo Slice at the Spike TV-televised event.
Alexander (9-4) has lost three-straight UFC fights, but is coming off a knockout win outside of the UFC agaist Sherman Pendergarst in September. Prior to his three-fight skid, Houston “The Assassin” Alexander scored back-to-back knockouts over Keith Jardine and Alessio Sakara to begin his UFC career.
Slice (3-1), a cast member on TUF 10, suffered a second-round TKO to Roy Nelson in the season’s opening round, but will make his official UFC debut at The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale.
It is still unknown whether Slice will move down to 205 for the fight or whether Alexander, who has competed exclusively at light heavyweight in the UFC, will move up to heavyweight for the matchup.
The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale also features Jon Jones vs. Matt Hamill and Frankie Edgar vs. Kurt Pellegrino, as well as the finals of the season’s heavyweight tournament.
