Template:Male adult bio Kevin Ferguson aka Kimbo Slice (born c. 1976) is a Miami, Florida-based underground fighter turned mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter. He has appeared in several filmed underground fights which have spread primarily on the Internet. Kimbo has since given this up and is now putting his efforts towards being a professional mixed martial arts fighter. Slice is currently training with retired mixed martial artist Bas Rutten.

Biography

Slice has worked as a bodyguard for RK Netmedia, a Miami pornography production/promotion company responsible for number of popular adult subscription websites, such as MILF Hunter, VIPcrew, MoneyTalks, and In The VIP. Rolling Stone called Slice "The King of the Web Brawlers".[1] His current bare-knuckle fighting record is 7-1[2]. Ferguson was a star defensive football player for Miami Palmetto High School in the Pinecrest area of Miami, Florida. Although he was recruited to play football in college, he went on to the University of Miami on academic scholarship and he did not play football for them. He was only there for a year and a half.[3]

Career

One of Slice's most notable fights was a September 2003 encounter with Sean Gannon, a former Boston Police officer who trains in mixed martial arts (MMA).[4] 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 world 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 mixed martial arts combat. Slice defeated Mercer with a guillotine choke at 1:12 into the first round.[5] 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. Slice stated in his pre-fight interview with CFFC that he is done with backyard bare-knuckle boxing.

Slice will be featured on The Iron Ring, a new television series airing on BET which features mixed martial arts prospects. Slice will be a part of the selection process for the participants.[6]
