Today in a media press conference, Bellator MMA heavyweight Kimbo Slice revealed that he has been tested for drugs multiple times leading up to his fight with Ken Shamrock:

Two months after questions were raised about drug testing in connection with Bellator 138, Kevin Kimbo Slice Ferguson said he was visited multiple times by the event’s overseeing athletic commission in the buildup to his fight with Ken Shamrock.
