http://www.mmamania.com/2010/6/4/1501486/ufc-116-seth-petruzelli-returns-to "Out with Kimbo Slice, in with Seth Petruzelli. It's strange how certain people always seem to be connected in one way or another. Just a couple weeks after Kimbo's release from the UFC following his UFC 113 defeat at the hands of Matt Mitrione, the man who (sorta) shocked the world by handing the Bahamian brawler his first ever professional MMA loss in just 14 seconds, Seth Petruzelli, has re-signed with the world's leading mixed martial arts promotion and will be facing UFC newcomer Ricardo Romero at UFC 116 from Las Vegas, Nevada on July 3. "The Silverback" posted the good news just minutes ago on his Facebook page. More on this pending fight announcement in just a bit."

I have always thought people undervalued Seth as "the pink haired guy who beat Kimbo". He is one of the few guys that has a karate based standup that he uses. I think at LHW he could win a few fights in the UFC. Interested to see what happens.

Interesting signing. I don't think he'll be around for long.

I train with Ricardo, the man is a BEAST! That being said, this is the toughest test of his career. Every time he tried to step up at ROC, guys would have a funny habit of suffering sudden injuries before the fight *coughrollesjrseansalmonbrettkohencough*. It'll be interesting to see if he can handle the octogan jitters, but i'm confident he has the ability to perform at an elite level in the UFC.

The AMA your thinking of (where the Miller Bros. train) is different than our gym, although Ricardo and some of the other pro/amateur guys go there to train on occasion. There's like four AMA's in the NJ/NYC region. We're in North Brunswick, our head coach is Brian Katz.
(Some of the info is outdated, Ricardo's current record is 10-1)

It should have been him that got signed in the first place. It's amazing he knocked out the beloved Kimblow in about 10 seconds infront of millions, and a few million more who watched on youtube and most people who seen the fight don't even know his name amd wemt om jocking that circus Kimblow.

I always thought Seth was a tough dude. Good to see he gets another chance to make a run.

Everybody hating on Seth, he may be gone in a fight or two, but he's a likable guy.
Recent guys getting a second run haven't faired well though
