Kimbo Slice's Son Making MMA Debut 3 Months After Dad's Death

Kimbo Slice's son will follow in his father's fighting footsteps -- and has inked a deal to make his MMA debut at Bellator 160 next month.

24-year-old Kevin Ferguson Jr. confirmed the deal to the AP -- saying he will fight on the undercard on August 26th. He's been training with Bellator fighters like A.J. McKee and Bubba Jenkins.

"I was always around the fight business and everything, so I saw it and I understood what was going on," Ferguson told the media outlet ... "I just knew without a doubt that one day, this was what I wanted to do."

Ferguson says he got his father's blessing to fight before Kimbo died back in June.
