Asked about Kimbo Slice after UFC 90 last night, Dana White said that now that EliteXC is out of business and Kimbo is looking for work, he's welcome to appear on the UFC's reality show The Ultimate Fighter:



Asked about Kimbo, White said, "He can be on The Ultimate Fighter. What's he done other than get 10 million hits on YouTube, what's he done to deserve to be in the UFC? Nothing. I don't consider him a real athlete. He won't win The Ultimate Fighter. The offer's out there if he wants to take it, but he won't win it."

When White was then asked whether he would focus an upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter on heavyweights just for Kimbo, he answered, "We might do that."

Realistically, there's zero chance that Kimbo -- who made $500,000 for his loss to Seth Petruzelli this month -- would agree to appear on a reality show where the grand prize is a UFC contract that pays $100,000 a year. But White says Kimbo is welcome to try it out if he wants.

And, of course, White is correct that Kimbo wouldn't win The Ultimate Fighter. After all, Seth Petruzelli didn't.
