They said if he lost the fight, he wouldn\u2019t get signed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Even though he has yet to step foot in the Bellator cage, Hood is a bit of a journey man in the world of mixed martial arts and is far from inexperienced. He has amassed an impressive record of nine wins with only two losses. Hood continued his verbal attack on Slice, accusing him of dodging the fight.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He kind of backed out of it, and I\u2019ve been looking to beat him up for a while. I didn\u2019t like the way he dodged the fight. Then he goes and he\u2019s talking about how he\u2019s great at this and great at that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;\u2018Kimbo\u2019 is going to have to get it, and I think he knows that. I hope he\u2019s ready because I definitely will be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hood makes his debut against Raphael Butler at &#8220;Bellator 141&#8221; on August 28th.
