UFC President Dana White reacts to passing of Kimbo Slice

When was the last time The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) combat sports reality show was able to generate six million viewers?

Season 10 (episode six) when former EliteXC bruiser Kimbo Slice -- no stranger to the six-million mark -- got dumped and humped by regional import Roy Nelson. It cost the bearded brawler a shot at the glass trophy, but he was called back anyway to face off against fellow contestant Matt Mitrione.

That was the last time mixed martial arts (MMA) fans saw Slice inside the Octagon.

But he remains an important figure in this industry even after his untimely passing last Monday night (June 6, 2016) in South Florida (more on that here).
