Dana White had said in the past that he didn't think much of Kimbo and the only way he'd get into the UFC was through The Ultimate Fighter series. It was a big shock to the MMA world when Kimbo agreed to fight in the show.

It proves that Kimbo is serious about fighting in the UFC and isn't just a back yard brawler for which he became famous for on YouTube.

Will he have what it takes to be a contender? Remains to be seen but with Kimbo's huge crowd pulling power it will surely be a highly anticipated show.
