UFC 113 Betting Odds & Predictions: Kimbo Slice vs Matt Mitrione: Tonight's UFC 113: Machida vs Shogun 2 fight card features an undercard battle between TUF season 11 heavyweights Kimbo Slice and Matt Mitrione.

UFC 113 Betting Odds & Predictions at online sportsbook Bodog.com have Mitrione listed as a slight -120 moneyline favorite.
Kimbo Slice enters this evening's dust-up with a 4-1 professional record and a 1-0 tally inside the Octagon after garnering
a unanimous decision victory against Houston Alexander last December. Word has it that Slice, who displayed a serious lack of ground skills in his TUF showdown with Roy Nelson, has improved his overall game and is coming into tonight's fight in his best form ever.
While that may be true, Slice might find it difficult to abandon the stand-up game that served him so well on the streets of Miami. Regardless of Slice's plan of attack, Mitrione should take pause considering what Kimbo has in mind for their Bell Centre meeting.
"I'm gonna thump, I'm banging with him," Slice said. "I'm gonna try to make him bleed, piss, fart, [expletive], throw up, burp, whatever the human boday does."
Matt Mitrione has fought just one professional fight, but he won it handily, knocking out fellow TUF 11 cast member Marcus Davis in the second round at the Ultimate Fighter Heavyweights Finale. The Purdue graduate fights in a manner similiar to Slice in that he likes to keep things standing up. Given that he and Slice are both prone to the haymaker, Mitrione is predicting a short but sweet encounter this evening.
"It'll be a fun fight for the fans to watch," Mitrione said. "I just don't know how long it will last."
