Seth Petruzelli isn’t kidding himself. Despite the four-fight win streak he’s accumulated since his last run in the UFC ended in 2007, he knows that there’s one win in particular that is more responsible than the rest for his return to the Octagon at UFC 116 this Saturday.

And no, it isn’t his first-round TKO of 9-18 fighter Sean Sallee, or even his most recent victory via submission over 5-5 Ryan White.

“Obviously, the Kimbo [Slice] win helped tremendously,” Petruzelli (12-4) told MMA Fighting. “Without that, I think it would have taken a few more wins for me to get back in the UFC.”
