Son of mixed martial arts (MMA) legend Kimbo Slice, Kevin Ferguson Jr. (also known as “Baby Slice”) is set to make his lightweight debut for Bellator MMA.

Ferguson signed with Bellator back in July of 2016. He had made a successful amateur debut in the sport earlier that year, winning via first round knockout. In his professional debut, however, things went a bit differently.

He was submitted in the first round by Aaron Hamilton at Bellator 165 in November of 2016. “Baby Slice” has since gone on a three-fight win streak, finishing all of his opponents in the first round by either knockout or submission.

Ferguson’s last two fights, however, have been held at catchweights of 160 pounds. He has finally made the decision to drop down to 155 pounds and compete at lightweight, as opposed to welterweight where he started his career.

“Baby Slice” is set to make his lightweight debut against promotional newcomer Corey Browning. The fight will go down at Bellator 207 on October 12th from the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, per ESPN.

Browning is also young in his MMA career. He holds a record of 2-1 and comes off the first defeat of his MMA tenure. Browning was submitted in the first round under the Valor Fights banner against Aaron Hall. He now hopes to play spoiler to Ferguson’s lightweight debut in Connecticut.

Currently, Bellator 207 is headlined by a heavyweight bout between Ryan Bader and Matt Mitrione. Roy Nelson vs. Sergei Kharitonov will compete in the co-main event.

Mixed martial arts (MMA) heavyweight veteran Roy Nelson is set to return at Bellator 207.

The 42-year-old made his Bellator MMA debut back in September of last year. He won a unanimous decision against Javy Ayala at Bellator 183. Nelson then lost in the Bellator MMA heavyweight grand prix quarterfinal to Mat Mitrione via Majority Decision.

Previously, Nelson had been with the UFC for almost eight years. He won The Ultimate Fighter Season 10 (TUF 10) when he knocked out Brendan Schaub in 2009. Over the years he’d establish himself as a favorite amongst the UFC fanbase.

Nelson signed with Bellator MMA in May of 2017 and didn’t look back. He continues to search for his first world title in MMA since holding the IFL Heavyweight Title back in 2008.

MMA Junkie has now confirmed that Nelson will return to the Bellator cage against Sergei Kharitonov. The fight goes down at Bellator 207 from the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York on October 13, 2018.

Kharitonov is a near-20-year veteran of the MMA game. He is currently on a four-fight win streak. Those fights have taken place under the Bellator and M-1 Challenge banners. He is a proven knockout artist but has a fair amount of submissions on his record as well.

Nelson and Kharitonov will serve as the co-main event for Bellator 207 in October. Check out the card for the Uniondale event thus far below:
