Two months in advance of his Bellator 158 rematch with James Thompson, Kevin Kimbo Slice Ferguson has settled with Texas’ athletic commission following a failed steroid test.
Slice agreed to a $2,500 fine and the revocation of his Texas fight license, which originally was slated to expire on March 4, 2017. He also agreed to waive his right to a hearing and is expected to remain in compliance with all laws and rules of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which oversees the Texas Combative Sports Program.
Meanwhile, the third-round TKO Slice (6-2 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) earned against Dhafir Dada 5000 Harris (2-1 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) at Bellator 149 has been overturned to a no-decision, Texas combative sports director Greg Alvarez today told MMAjunkie.
