Professional mixed martial artist 42, Kimbo Slice has died, Bellator MMA confirmed.
Slice had been hospitalized Monday for undisclosed reasons near his home
in South Florida, according to Coral Springs police, who had been
dispatched to his residence to prevent a potential gathering outside.
Slice, birth name Kevin Ferguson, was a former backyard brawler and
Internet sensation. He was signed to Bellator MMA and scheduled to
headline Bellator 158 on July 16 in London against James Thompson.
He last fought at Bellator 149 on Feb. 19 in Houston. Slice (5-2) defeated Dhafir Harris,
aka Dada5000, in a three-round decision. The result was later changed
to a no-contest by the Texas commission, after Slice tested positive for
anabolic steroids and an elevated testosterone.
