FLASHBACK: Kimbo Slice's stunning MMA debut

Kimbo Slice burst onto the professional mixed martial arts scene in a big way in 2007, knocking out Bo Cantrell in just 19 seconds.

Kevin 'Kimbo Slice' Ferguson became a household name more than a decade ago when videos of his infamous street fights were viewed millions of times on YouTube.

ProElite announced they had signed Ferguson in November 2007 and gave him his debut in EliteXC.
