Mixed martial arts heavyweight Kimbo Slice may be returning to television as part of UFC’s “The Ultimate Fighter” reality series, Yahoo! Sports reported.

According to the report, UFC president Dana White, who has repeatedly scorned Slice’s fighting skills, confirmed Slice will be one of 16 contestants appearing in the series.

“It should be interesting, given some of the things I’ve said about him,” White said, according to the report.

Slice (3-1), who rose to prominence via Internet footage of his street brawls, turned pro and fought on national television as part of the now-defunct Elite XC circuit. In his last bout, on Oct. 4, he was stopped in 14 seconds by last-minute replacement Seth Petruzelli. Shortly afterward, Elite XC went out of business.

White pledged “some major surprises” for “The Ultimate Fighter” last Thursday, when he announced that former UFC light heavyweight champions Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Rashad Evans would serve as coaches for the 16 fighters on the show, Yahoo! Sports reported.

In the show, the 16 fighters live together and fight each other, with the eventual champion winning a UFC contract.

White earlier had insisted he would not allow Slice into UFC unless he won his way onto the show by competing on “The Ultimate Fighter,” according to the report.
