LOL ...

Coker says Slice was suspended by the Texas commission 90 days after failing his drug test in February.

LOL only 90 days ...

Mike Richman tested positive for anabolic steroid at Bellator 137 & was suspended 2 years by California State Athletic Commission ... Just shows you how different the rules are from various state athletic commissions.

Pretty sad that SHIT SHOW Bellator can't even wait out Kimbo's Fake-ass 90-day suspension to announce his next fight.

Bellator President Scott Coker today announced on ESPN’s “SportsCenter” that Slice (6-2 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) and Thompson (20-16 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) will compete in the main event of Bellator 158, which takes place this July 16 at London’s O2 Arena.

Slice and Thompson first met in an infamous 2008 clash under the EliteXC banner. Thompson used a wrestling-heavy attack to wear down Slice over the opening two rounds of the contest. However, Slice landed a big shot in the third, rupturing Thompson’s cauliflower ear and sending blood splattering. Slice seized the opportunity with a few follow-up shots, earning him a controversial TKO win.

A rematch has been discussed over the years but never came to fruition.

Josh Koscheck vs. Paul Daley will also be fighting on this July 16 card at O2 Arena in London.
