According to the report, Slice and Alexander were to meet at the 205-pound light heavyweight limit, but Slice, who weighed in around 230 pounds for his TUF 10 loss to Roy Nelson, was unable to reach the mark, and they’ve instead agreed to the heavyweight catchweight.

The UFC has yet to announce the fight, which will be featured on the Spike TV-televised main card, and likely won’t do so until the conclusion of the season.

Alexander (9-4), a loser of three-straight UFC fights, returns to the Octagon after getting back on track outside the promotion with a knockout of one-time UFC fighter Sherman Pendergarst in September. Prior to his three-fight skid, “The Assassin” scored back-to-back knockouts of 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.

With the fight still unannounced, it is not yet known whether Slice will move down to 205 for the contest 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.

Pictured: Kimbo Slice

Earlier this week, Slice confirmed he was training for a December bout with American Top Team, but said he’d likely be fighting at UFC 107 (December 12 – Memphis, Tennessee), not the TUF 10 Finale. It now appears, however, that the popular heavyweight will instead return to action at the Spike TV-televised event.

What’s not yet clear is whether Slice re-enters the tournament, as was teased at the end of last night’s episode, and makes a run to the finals or whether the UFC was simply impressed by his skills and drawing power and has booked him to make his official UFC debut on the card.

For the latest Kimbo Slice news stay tuned to MMAFrenzy.com.

Evan’s teammate, Keith Jardine, shows up at the gym to help the fighters train, but the attention quickly turns to the intensifying feud between Evans and rival coach Quinton “Rampage” Jackson. While “Rampage” feels Jardine is a nice guy, Evans is convinced that Jardine hurt Rampage’s jaw in their March fight, which prompted Evans to fight Machida. James McSweeny, Evan’s top pick, defends his coach and the argument intensifies, but Evans steps in to separate the pair and cooler heads prevail.

The attention shifts back to Kimbo, with “Rampage” discussing the history of his beard and how he’s a likable guy. Kimbo trains on the ground and is able to escape from his heavyweight teammates, but Rampage is concerned that they have no way to simulate Nelson’s “big belly”.

Back at the house, Nelson’s fellow team members are confident he has the skills to beat Kimbo, saying that even if Kimbo starts to connect on the feet Roy should be able to take him down at will and control him on the ground.

Back at the gym, Kimbo and the rest of Team Rampage do conditioning drills but Marcus Jones has to stop midway through the session due to a knee injury. Jones maintains that he wants to fight next, but “Rampage” wants to give him time to allow his knee to recover.

At the house, Jones talks about his passions: comic books and gardening. Despite being one of the self-described most-boring people in the house, he and Kimbo have grown close with the pair joking that they’d be well-rounded if they could combine Kimbo’s striking with Jones’ ground game.

Kimbo and Nelson next weigh-in for their fight, with Kimbo weighing in at 230, while Nelson tips the scale at 264. Dana White says the fight could go either way, with Nelson being the more well-rounded fighter while Kimbo has the power to knock Nelson out with one punch.

At another Team Rampage training session, Kimbo spars with his partners and his teammates are all complimentary of his skills, while Nelson trains one final time with Team Rashad.

It’s fight day and Kimbo and Nelson get prepared and warm up for their fights backstage before making their way to the Octagon.

Nelson reiterates his plan to take it to the ground if he starts eating shots, while Kimbo says he’ll stick stick to his strengths.

There’s no touch of the gloves to start this fight as Nelson throws weak punches and close the distance, while Kimbo keeps his feet moving and chooses his strikes carefully before connecting with a hard leg kick. Slice moves forward and has Nelson backpedaling with his jab. Kimbo connects against the fence, but Nelson avoids major damage before looking for the takedown. Kimbo stays on his feet as Nelson presses him against the fence in the clinch. Nelson keeps up the pressure and finally scores the takedown and is immediately into mount. Kimbo does a good job neutralizing from the bottom, but Nelson passes to side control, where he pins Kimbo under his gut and tees off with short punches to the head. Slice is unable to escape, but despite warnings from the referee makes it to the end of the round. MMAFrenzy.com scores the round for Nelson 10-9.

Between rounds, “Rampage” warns Kimbo that Nelson won’t want to stand with him and that he’ll need to adjust to his takedowns.

Round 2 opens with tentative punching from both fighters. Kimbo connects with some big punches and Nelson immediately scores another takedown into side control. There’s little action on the ground as Nelson lays on top of Slice, but Nelson eventually manages to create an opening and throws weak punches to the head on Kimbo. Though the punches are far from impressive, with Slice unable to escape, the referee is forced to stop the bout.

The fight’s official result was:

• Roy Nelson def. Kimbo Slice via TKO (strikes) — Round 2, 2:01

“Rampage” says Nelson is like having the moon on top of you and asks “How do you get the moon off you?”.

Dana White criticizes Nelson’s performance, comparing his punching power to that of his daughter, while praising Kimbo for stepping up early in the tournament and suggesting he train hard during the rest of his time in the house, because there could be an opportunity for him to re-join the competition.

It appears that it may not take long for Slice to fight again, as a preview of next week’s episode shows Marcus Jones collapsing at the house and teases Kimbo as a possible replacement.

“I was impressed with my performance,” Slice said of his fight with Nelson, adding that he’s now training with American Top Team in preparation for a December bout at The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale, though whether he’ll be competing in the heavyweight tournament finals remains to be seen.

“No one ever approached me with no rematch with Seth, and I never turned that shit down. That right there is B.S. It didn’t happen,” Slice responded when asked about Petruzelli’s claims that he declined a rematch. “If Seth signed with the UFC, and if Dana and them want to match it up, damn right I’ll run it again with him. We don’t even need to do it in a ring. We can do it bare-knuckle style because I don’t like liars. I’ve never turned down a rematch with anybody. Anyone I fought, I’ll fight them again.”
