There was a flurry of press related to the announcement Tuesday that Mixed Martial Arts cult phenom, Kimbo Slice, will be appearing on the next installment of the Ultimate Fighter reality series.
The folks at Sportsbook.com were scrambling to post odds on Kimbo Slice.
"We opened odds on whether he'll make it to the Finals," said Sportsbook.com Spokesperson, Dave Stanley.
And the world's largest online gambling site in terms of customer volume doesn't have much hope for Slice.
Yes: +250
No: -325
"He's a favorite not to make the final," says Stanley. "But if he does, the payout would be $250 for every $100 bet."
KIMBO SLICE has vowed to ram UFC President Dana White's criticism down his throat by winning season 10 of The Ultimate Fighter, according to the London Sun.
The former Elite XC star has continuously been bashed by White for his lack of jiu-jitsu and wrestling ability.
He has pledged to silence White and the rest of his critics once and for all by winning a full-time contract with the world's leading mixed martial arts promotion.
Slice said: "It's an opportunity for me to prove myself and show that I can be a mixed martial artist.
"I've come from the backyard and been a street fighter but it's time to step my game up.
"A lot of people have a lot of questions about if I can fight mixed martial arts style - how good is my ground game and all that bulls*** - but I'm coming in to prove myself.
"I'm coming in to kick ass, take names and continue to feed myself and my family - that's what it's all about with me."
