Bellator opens show with Kimbo Slice tribute

In the first Bellator MMA show since the death of Kimbo Slice, the popular fighter was not forgotten.

On Friday, Bellator 156 opened with a short clip of Slice sharing his thoughts on the importance of respect. The video was originally published on July 7, a day after Slice died at the age of 42 due to heart failure.

The organization also tweeted out a picture of Slice, dedicating the evening's show to his memory.
