Kimbo Slice is back!
A few weeks ago we saw Kimbo training in a gym down in Florida and assumed he was preparing for a UFC return, well we were close.
Combat Press were the first to confirm Kimbo’s return:
Sources close to the situation have advised Combat Press that Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson will join the Bellator roster, with an announcement expected to take place during the Bellator 132 telecast on Jan. 16.
Bellator has been reaching to keep up with the UFC and veteran retreads have been part of their formula. Ex-UFC fighters Tito Ortiz & Stephan Bonnar just headlined a Bellator event and they’ve been said to be in pursuit of WWE champ Brock Lesnar (keep dreaming).
Bellator also had their troubles recently with Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson which led to his departure and eventual signing with the UFC.
Maybe, a 40 year old Kimbo is their answer to the UFC most likely landing Brock Lesnar… We will see if he can still be a main event draw.
