Kevin Ferguson Jr. hopes the third time will be the charm as he attempts to launch his pro mixed martial arts career.

The son of the legendary Kimbo Slice will meet Aaron Hamilton in a welterweight bout on the preliminary card of Bellator 165 on Nov. 19, the promotion announced on Monday.

The fighter nicknamed "Baby Slice" has twice had his debut fights scratched. An August fight in Anaheim was scrapped due to a back injury. Then a Bellator 163 fight with Ray Bing was canceled when Bing missed weight for a 165-pound catchweight fight by an astonishing 17 pounds.

Hamilton, a California native, is 0-2, with stoppage losses in both fights.
