During a Monday conference call with media, UFC heavyweight Kimbo Slice, a contestant on The Ultimate Fighter 10 whose opening round fight against Roy Nelson, billed as “the biggest in Ultimate Fighter history”, airs on Wednesday, talked about the fight and commented on a potential rematch with Seth Petruzelli, who handed him his only career MMA loss last October.

Petruzelli dropped Baten with an overhand right and followed with several more punches on the ground before the referee stopped the contest at 2:23 of the opening frame.
