The ratings phenomenon and former YouTube street fighter will be headlining a Bellator tentpole event Feb. 19 in Houston, according to a report by Jeremy Botter of the Houston Chronicle on Thursday. Bellator officials were not able to confirm the news with MMA Fighting.
No opponent was eported for Slice yet, though Bellator MMA president Scott Coker teased multiple announcements at Bellator 145 on Friday night in St. Louis. That card and the one featuring Slice will air on Spike TV.
Coker said in a recent interview on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani that the winner of a Bellator 145 fight between Bobby Lashley and James Thompson could meet Slice.
