The Kimbo-Mitrione matchup was first reported in January and confirmed during last month’s UFC 110, but was never added to the official UFC 113 fight card on UFC.com until today, when the UFC also formally announced the bout:

Canada will get their first dose of the Kimbo Slice phenomenon on Saturday, May 8th, when the Ultimate Fighter alumnus looks to make it 2-0 in the Octagon on the UFC 113: Machida vs Shogun 2 card at the Bell Centre in Montreal.

Slice (4-1), fresh off his three round unanimous decision victory over Houston Alexander at the TUF10 finale last December, will be in with a familiar foe on May 8th, as he takes on his Ultimate Fighter castmate, Matt Mitrione in a heavyweight bout made official today.

Mitrione (1-0), an NFL veteran, made his proper mixed martial arts debut on the TUF10 finale card and showed impressive poise and power as he knocked out Marcus Jones in the second round, and he hopes to make another statement when he squares off with Kimbo this spring.

Tickets for UFC 113: Machida vs Shogun 2, are on sale now.

UFC 113 is headlined by a rematch between light heavyweight champ Lyoto Machida and challenger Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, while welterweight contenders Josh Koscheck and Paul Daley meet in the card’s co-main event.

The event’s official salaries were:

• Roy Nelson ($16,000 – includes $8,000 win bonus) def. Brendan Schaub ($8,000)

Nelson, a former IFL champion and favorite to win the heavyweight tournament, rebounded from back-to-back losses with the win, which improved his record to 14-4, while Schaub, a training partner of heavyweight contender Shane Carwin, falls to 4-1 after suffering his first career loss.

In the event’s co-headliner, Jon Jones bloodied Matt Hamill with vicious ground and pound that nearly ended the bout, but finished the fight with illegal downward elbows that caused him to be disqualified, awarding an injured and battered Hamill the victory.

Kimbo Slice made his anticipated UFC debut in lackluster fashion on Saturday, scoring a unanimous decision over a returning Houston Alexander in a bizarre bout that featured Slice’s improved ground game, including an impressive suplex in the opening frame, rather than an expected knockout.

Also on the main card, Frankie Edgar submitted newcomer Matt Veach with a rear naked choke in the second round, while Matt Mitrione knocked out fellow former NFL player Marcus Jones 10-seconds into round two.

James McSweeney, Jon Madsen, Brian Stann, John Howard, and Mark Bocek were all victorious on The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale preliminary card.
