Re: Request a Fighter Bio

I couldn't find a whole lot on him, but here is what I've got.

Kimbo Slice



Kevin Ferguson AKA Kimbo Slice (born on February 8, 1974) is a Miami, Florida-based street fighter turned mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter. He first appeared in several filmed underground fights which have spread primarily on the Internet. Kimbo has since left street fighting behind and is now putting his efforts towards being a professional mixed martial arts fighter. Slice is currently training with retired MMA fighter Bas Rutten.

One of Slice's most notable fights was a September 2003 encounter with Sean Gannon, a former Boston Police officer who trains in MMA. Slice was defeated by Gannon and due to the popularity of the fight video, Gannon began fighting within the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Slice made his sanctioned MMA debut against former WBO Heavyweight champion boxer Ray Mercer at Cage Fury Fighting Championships 5, in Atlantic City, New Jersey on June 23, 2007. The match was scheduled as a three-round exhibition utilizing all professional rules of MMA combat. Slice defeated Mercer with a guillotine choke at 1:12 into the first round. In a post-fight interview, Slice stated that he would like to fight David "Tank" Abbott. Abbott, who was a spectator, stood up from his seat and accepted the call out. One of the matchmakers for CFFC asked Slice for his assurance so that an October 12th bout at Cage Fury Fighting Championships 6 between Slice and "Tank" Abbott can be organized. This event was later cancelled due to a promotion dispute. On October 11, 2007, Proelite.com announced that they had signed Slice to a deal and that he would make his debut on the November 10 EliteXC. Originally set to make his professional MMA debut against Mike Bourke, the reformed street fighter was set to face Bo Cantrell after Bourke sustained a shoulder injury. Kimbo defeated Cantrell 19 seconds into the first round by submission due to punches.

Slice will be featured on The Iron Ring, a new television series airing on BET which features MMA prospects. Slice will be a part of the selection process for the participants.


I'm a good old rebel,
Now thats just what I am,
And for this Yankee nation,
I do not give a damn.
I'm glad we fought against her,
I only wish we'd won.
I ain't asking any pardon for anything we've done.
