Not for a long time, but seeds were planted first when Kimbo Slice was picked to compete on The Ultimate Fighter, Season 10. Curious if Seth Petruzelli, the man who knocked out a cult creation in 14 seconds, felt slighted, I conducted an interview with him for Junkie and the story was posted today. The Silverback took the high road, only saying he was surprised considering Dana White's smack talk after the night that infamously took Elite XC down. Despite his release from the UFC in 2006 and White's harsh words about him being a UFC reject, Petruzelli is open to doing business with White again and has been talking with Strikeforce.
If Petruzelli wins his next fight in August (TBD) and Slice shows something in the TUF house, there's enough money to be made for a rematch, whether it's in the UFC, Strikeforce or elsewhere. The fight will hardly be a classic, but it'll be a better production without the presence of the Elite XC boneheads.
I spent last Friday night in the Bronx working Game 1 of the Subway Series. Like everyone else I had it documented that Alex Rodriguez failed in the clutch yet again until Luis Castillo dropped his pop up. Between Castillo's faux pas and the craziness of the subsequent two days, it was a wild and bizarre weekend, but one New York fans took in to the fullest.
