'Baby Slice' returns for 3rd pro bout at Bellator 187 in Dublin
"Baby Slice" will look to push his record above .500 when Bellator MMA takes the Emerald Isle.
Kevin Ferguson Jr. - son of the late Kimbo Slice - will face Fred Freeman in a 165-pound catchweight bout at Bellator 187 on Nov. 10 at 3Arena in Dublin, the promotion announced in a Thursday release.
The 25-year-old made his debut in four-ounce gloves last November at Bellator 165, where he was submitted in the second round by Aaron Hamilton. He's since rebounded with his first victory as a pro, a first-round TKO of DJ Griffin at Bellator 179 this past May.
According to the release, the unheralded Freeman meets Ferguson Jr. with a professional record of 1-0 and nine amateur fights under his belt.
Bellator 187 will be headlined by a featherweight tilt between undefeated prospect AJ McKee - a Team Bodyshop stablemate of Ferguson's - and Brian Moore. It was booked after James Gallagher pulled out of the original closer vs. Jeremiah Labiano, with a knee injury.
