After originally being slated to make his professional debut at both “Bellator 160” ಮತ್ತು "ಫೈಟಿಂಗ್ 162,“ “Baby Slice” will now look to showcase his fine-tuned mixed martial arts repertoire on ನವೆಂಬರ್. 19. The son of the late, great “Kimbo Slice,” made a splash in the world of MMA during an amateur contest in Chicopee, ಮ್ಯಾಸಚೂಸೆಟ್ಸ್, where he delivered a brutal knockout punch just 1:23 ಮೊದಲ ಸುತ್ತಿನ. In what is unquestionably one of the most talked-about debuts in promotion history, Slice hopes to parlay his amateur success with a memorable performance on the professional circuit and carry on the legacy that his father let behind. Hailing from Miami, ಫ್ಲೋರಿಡಾ, the Team Body Shop product now has his eyes set on joining teammate ಎ.ಜೆ.. ಕೀ as one of Bellator MMA’s top young prospects.

Hamilton will once again compete in his home state of California, after previous bouts against the likes of Max Griffin. “The Snake” will be making both his Bellator MMA debut and welterweight debut, as the 185-pound slugger attempts to trim down for what is surely the biggest fight of his career. Hamilton last competed in March and hopes to spoil the long-awaited debut of Slice.
