By Zach Arnold | May 5, 2010
MMAFighting.com interview with Kimbo Slice
How bad was the weight cut for the Houston Alexander fight and did it negatively impact you?
“The weight cut had a lot to do with it man, I get to eat, have my desserts, you know what I’m saying, so you know I’m feeling OK you know what I’m saying, I’m ready to fight, a little anxious you know Saturday’s kind of taking long to get here but when it get to close to that fight you get that way.”
Are you happy with the way preparation went for this upcoming fight against Matt Mitrione?
“Yeah, yeah, I’m comfortable with it, you know what I’m saying. The preparation for every fight is about the same, it’s intense. I peak right before you know the week of the fight, I peak to my highest level of my performance and I’m ready for it.”
Any relationship with Mitrione on the TUF show?
“It wasn’t none.”
Does he like Mitrione?
“I mean, it’s whatever, you know what I’m saying. I don’t like or dislike anybody but the person I’m getting to fight I can’t stand you until after the fight, after the fight we can do whatever but until then, no, I don’t have too many words for you.”
Matt Mitrione KO’d Marcus Jones at the TUF Finale. Is his power and size his strength?
“No, his biggest strength is probably be, I hope it would be his ground game because if he wants to stand and bang, that’s my world.”
If the fight goes to the ground, are you ready for it?
“If I see a submission, if he’s slipping then I’m going to grip. Yeah, if he slips I grip.”
Prediction of the fight outcome?
“You know I don’t predict the fights, you know what I’m saying, but I’m not getting knocked out, I can tell you that.”

Of course he loves Canada. That lumberjack beard of his fares much better in cool Northern climates than it does in muggy Florida.
“I mean, besides fallaway jabs, you know what I’m sayin’?”
