He fought twice for UFC, going 1-1 before being released, which led to his signing with Bellator. He moved from Elite XC to UFC, first competing on The Ultimate Fighter 10 TV show. That victory itself came under dubious circumstances - Dada 5000 seemingly passed out before Slice could give the deciding blow and was later diagnosed with renal failure - and the decision was overturned after Slice tested positive for an anabolic steroid in a post-fight drug test.įor his career, which began with Elite XC in 2007, Slice was always a wildly popular figure. Slice's last fight was at Bellator 149 against Dada 5000, another street fighting legend from Miami, who Slice beat via third-round TKO.

He also went 7-0 as a professional boxer during a break from MMA but few of the matches were what would be deemed equal contests. Slice held a 5-2 career MMA record (with one no contest) and was scheduled to fight at the Bellator London event on July 16 against James Thompson. He parlayed that popularity into a professional mixed martial arts career, which he began in 2007 and reached its peak when Slice fought on the first MMA show aired on primetime network television (a match he won) on CBS. Slice became an internet sensation in the 2000s when his street fight videos - showing him dominating massive men in backyard fights throughout Miami and the South Florida area - went viral on YouTube. sjs8ctyJMd- American Top Team June 7, 2016 The ATT Family and South Florida community lost a legend today.
