The fight everyone has been waiting for is here. Well, sort of. Roy Nelson will fight Kimbo Slice on the ‘Ultimate Fighter’ that airs tonight on Spike. The match is being billed as a real test and the ‘biggest fight in ‘Ultimate Fighter’ history.’

One look at Nelson might tell you otherwise. Kimbo is chiseled and fit. Nelson is gnarled and his midsection resembles a keg more than a six-pack.

Many UFC observers thought Kimbo would fight near the end of the tournament-style competition so Spike could benefit from his huge fan base. Instead, the series hopes to cash in early and often.
