Kimbo Slice has reportedly passed away at age 42 from heart failure

I'm confused now.  Heart failure and a heart attack are two completely different things.  I have a hard time believing he died from heart failure.  The onset would have to be extremely acute or he left it untreated for entirely too long.

Either way....RIP.
 
RIP

I ran into him a couple of times at my old job when he was picking up his kids. Real cool dude :smh:
 
R.I.P Kimbo. He had some nutty brawls. His fight with Gannon was brutal. He always wanted to put a show on. Wish UFC/Bellator showed how he was really a family man. He was all about making money for his 6 kids.

You know...Not for nothing but I think folks will understate his contribution to MMA's popularity.


When Kimbo was on TUF 10 I noticed a lot of casuals' interest was piqued.


Now this was after 100. Brock was already on the scene. He already brought a lot of new fans into the fold.


But TUF 10 really helped sustain that interest and I think Kimbo played no small part.
 
damn, from backyard brawls to MMA to reality kings, he will be missed

RIP KIMBO
 
He really made something from nothing, I felt his story and his pain. Rip, remember drinking with boys just watching him knock dudes out in the backyard. I'll make sure to pour up some henny for him tomorrow. Tomorrow not promise for no man and starting to believe it this year.
