Following two official fights in the organization, Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson's days in the UFC are apparently done.
UFC president Dana White revealed in Saturday night's post-UFC 113 press conference in Montreal that Slice (4-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) would likely be released following his loss to fellow "The Ultimate Fighter 10" cast member Matt Mitrione (2-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC).
"That's probably Kimbo's last fight in the UFC," White said.

Following a post-fight cheap shot that tagged opponent Josh Koscheck, welterweight Paul Daley will never fight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship again.
That's the word from UFC president Dana White, who condemned the veteran fighter's actions following the pay-per-view fight.
"There's no excuse for that. These guys are professional athletes. You don't ever hit a guy blatantly after the bell like that, whether you're frustrated or not. It was probably one of the dumbest things I've ever seen because he is a talented guy, and he is one of the best 170-pounders in the world."
White said Daley offered little explanation for his actions other than to say he "didn't hear the bell."
"I don't care if he fights in every show all over the world and becomes the best and everybody thinks he's the pound-for-pound best in the world, he will never fight in the UFC ever again," White said. "He's done."
