Kimbo Slice was recently featured on Inside The Ultimate Fighter to talk about his loss to Roy Nelson in the third preliminary fight of The Ultimate Fighter 10: Heavyweights.

He said:

“I knew I wasn’t going to get knocked out, so I only had to worry about the submissions. I fought Roy with caution. I did go for the kill one time, but I knew to be careful because Roy will bait you. That’s how good he is. He’s a smart fighter. When I felt like I rocked him, I went in for the kill and that’s when I made my mistake.

The first round kind of went my way because I was real cautious. But the second round, by that time, he figured out how to get in. The first round I knew how to keep him at bay, but by that second round he knew how to play a little more of a possum and he was able to get me down to the ground. A guy like Roy, who was able to get me to the ground, that weight was hard to move. The crucifix is not my favorite position. That’s a position I would really like to know how to get out of.

I’ll beat Roy this time around. You’re only going to beat me once. If I fight anybody that beat me that one time, then that’s it. You gave your best. You didn’t beat me at my best, because now I know how you’re coming. Damn right I’ll rematch Roy.”
