6 Best Second Generation Fighters In MMA Right Now

6. Baby Slice (3-2-1)

The first in a series of fighters featured on this list that are currently signed to Bellator, Kevin Ferguson Jr. AKA Baby Slice is the son of the late street fighting sensation turned professional boxer/fighter Kimbo Slice.

Kimbo earned his reputation by showcasing his skills in a number of backyard brawls that would become some of the earliest viral fight videos on the internet before transitioning to MMA in 2007. Kimbo would appear in both the UFC and Bellator, amassing a 5-2-1 record before his untimely death.

Tragically, the pair had both been earmarked to fight on the Bellator London card in 2016 prior to Kimbo's passing.

Despite making his pro debut in a major MMA promotion, Baby Slice has shown during his short career that he is more than capable of coping with the pressure that comes with the bright lights, currently holding a 3-2 record. However, his most recent fight was ruled a no-contest due to Slice landing some illegal strikes to the back of his opponent's head.

Despite a mixed start to his MMA career, Baby Slice has shown potential during his visits to the cage but only time will tell if he possesses the vaunted knockout power of his father and can progress to the upper echelons of the sport.
