Kimbo says Petruzelli better watch himself in 'sissy' ice cream shop

By Steve Cofield

The UFC continued the hype for Wednesday's promotion debut for Kimbo Slice on "The Ultimate Fighter" with a teleconference Monday. Kimbo fights Roy Nelson in what's expected to be the highest rated episode in the history of TUF. The fight is so big, it prompted the first ever in-season press meeting with TUF fighters. These calls are tricky because the fighters and the promotion have to be careful not to give away the results of the show, so the conference drifted away from the Nelson fight when Kimbo was told that his nemesis Seth Petruzelli had been talking trash about him.

Petruzelli was the fighter who handed Kimbo his first loss on CBS back in October of 2008. "The Silverback" has repeatedly said that Kimbo turned down a rematch:

"Seth needs to be careful now because we both live in the same backyard, and I know that little sissy ice cream shop [he owns], I can walk in at any given time and go, 'Yo, what's up, man?'" Kimbo told the collected media and MMAJunkie on the conference call.

Petruzelli owns several Smoothie King's in South Florida. That might be a nice ad slogan: "The Sissy Ice Cream Shop!"

Kimbo has repeatedly said that he makes zero decisions on his fight career. His future is all up to his manager Icey Mike:

"No one ever approached me with no rematch with Seth, and I never turned that [expletive] down. That right there is B.S. bull [expletive]. It didn't happen."

Kimbo said Petruzelli had better not sign with the UFC:

"If Seth signed with the UFC, and if Dana [White] and them want to match it up, damn right I'll run it again with him," said Kimbo. "We don't even need to do it in a ring. We can do it bare-knuckle style because I don't like liars. It ain't personal. It's just the fact that it's bull [expletive]."

Kimbo did slip and say that he's training for a fight in December. It wasn't the first time he's said that though, and it doesn't necessarily mean that he beat Nelson and advanced to the TUF 10 Final. In past finales, fighters who had lost during the show's taping have faced off in the finale's undercard.

    Hahaha Seth would kick him in the head and knock his beard off his face. I actually LIKE Kimbo though after seeing the UF series. I still think he's just a backyard brawler but I honestly hope he proves me wrong!

    i really hope kimbo ko's big country.....sure, somebody will beat kimbo and he's definitely no great mma fighter, but nelson has just always acted like he was WAYYYYY better than he really is. i'd appreciate if he was humbled early on, but based on the talent we've witnessed so far from this season that ain't gonna happen.

    I'm pretty sure kimbo is going to win this fight... or the UFC wouldnt be promoting him that much, they already know who wins.

    Well, let's see....I think the way Kimbo has been portrayed so far, he has to have beaten big country. They made nelson out to look like a cocky [profane] etc. And why else would they let Kimbo fight on the third show...he is the big draw this season. Dana would not risk it.
    That is not to say that Kimbo wins the whole thing. I don't think he did. But he probably won a fight or two and Dana actually is now kind of fond of him because of the TUF numbers Kimbo has been bringing.
    OK - so now that Dana wants to keep Kimbo, he is starting the hype for a Seth/Kimbo rematch. Dana figures he can make some bucks off that, so he will do it and start hyping it early. Seth will gladly come back to the UFC, no problem.

    Dana will ride the kimbo cash train just like he rode Bisbing, then he will feed him to the wolves..

    The only thing Seth would have to watch out for are his products, and that they are placed in a safe spot because if they are not, Kimo is knocking them over after getting dropped by another jab.

    Gawd the bigots are back out everytime Kimbo's name is brought up. No one knows if Kimbo won or loss. These guys are under contract not to mention anything unless they find their azzes in court.

    unlike seth, roy nelson is an actual mma talent. he was beating arlovski before gassing out in the middle of the second, and has beaten frank mir in jujitsu...that doesn't sound like any regular joe to me. kimbo has his hands full.
    besides, reports are that he was tko'd in the first by nelson. hope he lasted more than 14 seconds, though.

    to the idiot that quadruple posted- Dana said the only way he'd sign Kimbo is if he went through the Ultimate Fighter. Not if he won. Why hate so much? There are bigger things to worry about. If, and more than likely when, Kimbo shows he's not a mma fighter he'll be out of a job and back to making youtube clips beating the hell out of bums

    Lets see a rematch!!!! I would like to watch that Dana!!!! btw, all these "leaked" rumors are probably most likely true, because there is no way that Kimbo is gonna beat Big Country; I will be back here to eat crow if he turns in the W though, and I hope I do, 'cause I am actually rooting for Kimbo, but if I were to bet, it would sure as hell not be on him, I will put my money on Big Country and MMA experience for the W.

    Jimmy S is an absolute idiot. For one you posted the same comment like ten times, not to mention your post was garbage. Josh S is right, and I respect Kimbo for stepping up, and I hope he knocks out Nelson. I doubt it will happen, but I can hope. And if you think the UFC is fake, your not even worth the time it took to make this post you douche.

    Kimbo Slice won that because why did he say what he said if he didn't? He gave it away already.
