Canadian heavyweight Gary Goodridge (23-15-1) wants to show the world that internet street fighter Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson (2-0-0) is all hype.

"Kimbo Slice is a 2008 version of Mr. T," Goodridge tells Fight Network Radio. "Was Mr. T tough back then? No. Could he beat anybody back then? No, but he had the words, he had the lyrics, and he had the gold."

"I know people that will put him down and spank his ass," he continues. "I would fight ‘Kimbo’ for free. Make the fight up, and I will fight him for free just to show people that I could kick his ass. He can’t beat nobody. He don’t want any of this."

Kimbo has had two pro-MMA fights, and KO'd both Bo Cantrell (10-11-0) and David "Tank" Abbott (9-14-0) in the first round. Fans have questioned the validity of both wins, and are eager to see Slice fight a more competitive opponent.

Goodridge would certainly qualify as competitive. A 12-year veteran of the sport, he last fought in March, beating Jan "The Giant" Nortje (2-5-0) by TKO at K-1 Hero's.
