Baby Slice dispatches Brock in 34 seconds at Bellator 197
Kevin "Baby Slice" Ferguson Jr. kicked off Bellator 197's main card with a bang.
The progeny of the late Kimbo Slice rocked Devon Brock with a counter right hand behind the ear, swarmed with follow-up punches from full mount, and then seized his opponent's exposed back to sink in a rear-naked choke for the tapout just 34 seconds into their 160-pound catchweight tilt on Friday's bill in St. Charles, Miss.

Ferguson's second straight submission victory improved his pro record to 3-1, with each of those wins coming before the second-round bell. The Team Bodyshop man followed the W by calling for Bellator to host an event in his native Miami.
Brock, meanwhile, fell to .500 after kicking off his pro career with a unanimous decision over Khonry Gracie - oddly enough, the son of another MMA legend in Royce Gracie - this past January at Bellator 192.
