[Jay]

Loved watching this guy get into UFC and improve so much over the years.. Such a shame so many fighters are dying this month.

Thoughts?

Any idea what the cause of death was?

 

Yeah will miss this guy, loved watching youtube vids where people would "take a punch" of kim.

Loved the street fights and his UFC run. This one hit me harder than Ali, as I'm a huge MMA fan and grew up watching him.

 

I remember watching Kimbo back in the day. He would fight for 10 grand and shit on youtube. However I stopped watching him after he got caught throwing fights in the ring. RIP and thanks for the awesome vids kimbo

That last fight I saw the one that was thrown was horrible, I mean wrestlers do better acting. He could street fight and he was good and thats the kimbo ill remember the octogan wasnt his place.

I don't have much to say other than it was a pleasure RIP.

 

I remember watching his videos when I wanted to get into fighting (wasn't looking for those vids specifically, just came across them). I think I watched all his street fighting videos on youtube. He was an absolute beast. It's a shame his UFC career wasn't all that great. RIP

Man was a legend, it's really difficult to see such legends pass away recently.

A street legend and a boxing legend died in same time frame

 

[Mootrucks]

RIP, I was watching fighting videos a few days before this happened, some with him in them of course.

 

[Law Abiding]

He was a beast. As a kid I grew up hyped to his street fights.

Kimbo slice was an awesome brawler, use to watch all his street fights on youtube lol, i think his heart failure was caused by steriods it said in a article. so tragic, taken too soon.
