Paul "The Headhunter" Buentello wants to fight Kimbo Slice.

Former UFC heavyweight title contender Paul "The Headhunter" Buentello (23-19-0) wants to fight EliteXC star Kimbo Slice (2-0-0).

"Me and Kimbo should lace up the gloves," he tells MMAweekly.com. "He’s fighting all the guys I’ve already knocked out and I’ve already exposed. He needs to get off that buffet line I put out there and come over to my Paul Buentello taco shop and see if we can get to work.”

Both Slice and Buentello have knocked out David "Tank" Abbott (9-14-0) and Bo Cantrell (10-11-0). Together, "Tank" and Cantrell spent less than 90-seconds in Buentello's "taco shop". Slice beat them in even less time, needing just over a minute in the cage to beat both opponents.

"I give him much respect. He stepped up. He went from street fighting to MMA and everybody thought he couldn’t produce, but he’s doing it," says Buentello. "He’s been training and accomplished a lot in a year or so. He’s really putting his hands together, he’s really putting his game plan together.”

Buentello's next fight will be March 29 in Strikeforce. After that, he says a fight with Kimbo is something fans want to see.

"Everybody asks me ‘When are you going to fight Kimbo? You should fight that Kimbo guy,'" he says. "I’m just throwing the offer out there. I know [Kimbo] would take the offer in a heartbeat, but he does have management."
