Kimbo Slice has reached a settlement with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation on his Bellator 149 drug test.

Slice, who tested positive for the anabolic steroid nandrolone and an elevated testosterone-to-epitestosterone level following his TKO victory over Dhafir Harris, a.k.a. Dada 5000, at Bellator 149 in Houston, will pay the commission a $2,500 fine and have his fight license in Texas revoked. MMAFighting.com confirmed an initial report by MMAJunkie.com.
