Bellator puts Kimbo Slice In Focus

Bellator’s In Focus series turns to Kimbo Slice, ahead of his fight with Ken Shamrock at Bellator 138. Kimbo trains at the American Top Team in Coconut Creek, FL with former WEC featherweight champion Mike Brown.

Things then take a turn for the deeply, deeply personal. Kimbo’s son Kevlar has autism, and the fighter trains with him every day.,

“I’m giving him a part of me; he’s giving me a part of him,” said the fighter, as transcribed by B/R. “Every now and then, he’ll just want to make sure I’m looking. He makes sure I catch his eye to see, ‘Is my dad looking? Is my dad watching? I want my dad to see me do this.’ That in itself is a great accomplishment: to see my son learning how to wrestle, learning how to do jiu-jitsu. Makes me feel good inside. He loves it.”

Lastly, the lens turns to the former Internet brawling legend with his family at Dave & Buster’s in his hometown of Miami.
