Steve Cofield from Yahoo! Sports caught up with Seth "The Promotion Killer" Petruzelli in Las Vegas last week ahead of his UFC 116 return bout with Ricardo Romero and discussed a variety of topics including his sexual leanings, his planned entrance for the show (which will include a midget) and the fact that beating Kimbo hurt his career more so than it helped it.


He explained to Cofield that his comments he made following the win over Slice that EliteXC brass intimated by dangling a knockout bonus in front of him that they wanted the fight to stay standing up, eliminated Strikeforce from the list of promotions he could fight for due to Showtime’s relationship with both organizations.

Between being shunned for revealing the inter-workings of the promotion he was employed by, fights being cancelled and the lack of opponents willing to face "the guy that knocked out Kimbo," Petruzelli has only fought four times since his UFC release in 2007., but says he is hoping to make this stay in the Octagon last longer than two fights like the last one did.

If the whole fighting thing doesn’t work out, maybe Seth could be hired by Zuffa to choreograph weigh-ins performances and ring entrances like these epic ones:
