Kevin Ferguson Jr. will make his return to combat sports in a little more than a week.
“Baby Slice” will take on Derek Perez at BKFC 80 on Sept. 12 at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida, the promotion recently announced. BKFC 80 is headlined by a heavyweight clash between Leonardo Perdomo and Arnold Adams. UFC veteran Yoel Romero is also expected to compete on the card.
Ferguson Jr. Set for First Bout in More Than Two Years
The son of the late Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson, “Baby Slice” compiled a 3-3-1 record in MMA while competing exclusively under the Bellator MMA banner from 2016 to 2020. He last appeared at Bellator 253, where he dropped a unanimous verdict to Kaheem Murray on Nov. 19, 2020. His most recent bout came with Misfits Boxing, as he suffered a second-round stoppage loss to Okema Jibunor in April 2023. The 33-year-old Miami native was slated to meet Bryce Hall at BKFC Knucklemania 5 in January before the bout fell through.
A native of Belen, New Mexico, Perez has experience in bare knuckle boxing, boxing and MMA. He is 4-4 under the BKFC banner and is coming off a third-round stoppage of Rick Caruso this past June.
