Growing up, Kevin Ferguson Jr. ’s famous father used to offer him one consistent piece of advice over and over again: Go to school. He wasn’t overly specific about what his son should study, but the man who became known as “ Kimbo Slice ,” the Internet brawler turned MMA fighter and boxer, was adamant his son should get some kind of education. It just wasn’t until he saw the photographs his son had shot that he understood what sort of education he should pursue. According to Ferguson, who quickly got the nickname “Baby Slice” when he followed his father’s footsteps into the cage, it all happened on the set of “Scorpion King 3,” the direct-to-video action film in which his father played the role of “Zulu Kondo.” “We were in Thailand and there was a photographer on the set,” Ferguson told MMAjunkie
