Every day is like this, this is how life goes.

Obviously, but I don't recall a year (for me personally) where so many people I look up to, or have followed for that matter, have passed in such quick succession.

Damn it. RIP.

 

[perfectchaos007]

[BadAss2961]

RIP Kimbo.

Always enjoyed his fights.

 

[Treythalomew]

Kimbo is a legend. One of the few dudes who made me always tune in if he was in the card. He had swagger for days and you could never blink because of his single punch power.

 

[JimJamJones]

Was a big fan of his back in his day.

I always saw him around Coral Springs with his family. He seemed like a cool dude.

From what I hear yes but don't take that to the bank. At least that's what is floating around MMA circles

Local news here (where he died) is reporting he had a heart attack and died in the hospital from heart failure.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Well.... Rest In Peace ;_;

Dude was entertaining as fuck.

 

[djplaeskool]

2016 is giving zero fucks. Damn.

RIP

 

[Syphon Filter]

wow, r.i.p.

 

[Dre3001]

RIP to him

He was probably one of the first "youtube" celebrities

I remember everyone used to talk about his street fights online and he even ended up getting a Bellator contract off of it.

 

[friskykillface]

RIP

Also remember being in school and watching his fights online , street fights and shit , was awesome

 

[Lonestar]

Feels like we might be in that Nic Cage end of the world movie. We're on the slope to dooooom.

Respect for the early Youtube push, Kimbo. Sad that he was only 42.

 

[Obliterator]

A lot of people will remember him for his YouTube days and street fighting. But he was a beloved member of ATT and my heart goes out to the team in Florida

 

[Zimbardo]

really enjoyed watching his Youtube fights, and i always rooted for him during his MMA tenure. he seemed like a really nice fellah, too, during his interviews.

sucks to see this happen at such a young age. RIP.

 

[AntMurda]

I read somewhere he was peeing blood and in denial
About immediately seeking medical attention. Anyone pick that up?

 

[victreeb3l]

RIP :/

 

[Gattsu25]

RIP

Damn, he was the first MMA fighter that I followed.

 

[Dysun]

damn

rip kimbo

 

[Hugstable]

Damn RIP Kimbo. Still remember me and my buddies always gathering around to watch Kimbo's early street fights back before even youtube was around. Dude was a beast and seemed like a great guy as well. RIP Kimbo

 

[Qasiel]

RIP Kimbo.

Got introduced to some of his fights a couple of years ago through a work colleague and he seemed like an interesting character.

 

[EL CUCO]

Rest in Peace, Kimbo. Sad night in Miami.

 

[TheSchwab_7]

Damn what a shame. Almost always turned into his fights because who knew what was going to happen. Never watched his YouTube stuff but probably will now. RIP

 

[3N16MA]

It was only a few months ago that he beat Dada 5000. Dada was hospitalized and nearly passed away. That decision was reversed, Kimbo passes away, Dada is fine.

 

[Gorilla Shark]

 

[CountAntonius]

So young. RIP.

 

[Frozenprince]

If Kimbo had gotten into legit MMA fighting in his early 20's instead of his 30's dude could have been taught and trained into a legit force.

His striking power was fucking brutal.

RIP Kimbo, always entertaining as hell to watch.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

god damn dude.

David Blaine getting punched in the Stomach by Kimbo Slice

 

[Semblance]

Sheesh. RIP.

 

[Apt101]

A man in such good shape dying young. Makes me want to change my lifestyle. RIP.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Holy shit! 2016 just won't stop.

Wasn't a fan of his work/gimmick but damn. RIP.

 

[M_A_C]

RIP

Damn, he was the first MMA fighter that I followed.

Now that is truly sad.

 

[Weckum]

Two of the best fighters ever die in the same week, how sad...

You go crush some cans in heavens, Kimbo.

 

[parrotbeak]

Kimbo will always be one of the greatest YT backyard brawlers to me. This is how I'll remember him, not his shitty MMA fights.

Trying to find the one against the dreadlock guy in the boat yard.

 

[jediyoshi]

what the fuck

 

[JetBlackPanda]

David Blaine getting punched in the Stomach by Kimbo Slice

That had to have hurt.

 

[Fennec]

I used to download his street fights on Kazaa and eMule.

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

come on man, he was only 42 sigh. R.I.P Kimbo Slice.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Shit.
People shouldn't die this young. =(

Rest in Piece

 

[SuperAndroid17]

Kimbo is a pioneer of Youtube. A True legend

RIP

 

[spazchicken]

Wow. I was just watching his fight against that cop, the other day and some of his MMA stuff, just out of the blue. For no reason at all.

 

[Oblivion]

R.I.P.

David Blaine getting punched in the Stomach by Kimbo Slice

Damn, David Blaine's pretty buff himself. And he got hit not once but twice!

 

[foxuzamaki]

Jeez man, it just doesnt stop this year

 

[Lightning Count]

This is what happens to chronic steroid users, hell look all those wrestlers who have been dying in their forties.

Have to say I never cared much for the guy myself or the way he was marketed, but my condolences to his family all the same.

RIP

 

[Syder]

RIP

Will never forget when he ruined that guy's eye.

 

[lightskintwin]

RIP

Truth about Steroids

I don't think you know what you're talking about. A lot of wrestlers were addicts to many other harmful drugs, as well as suffered from undiagnosed CTE.

 

[Lightning Count]

RIP

Will never forget when he ruined that guy's eye.

James Thompson?

That was his ear, not his eye.

 

[half a moon]

RIP

Was afraid Jack Black was dead at a young age, now a few days later here's Kimbo dying at a young age.

Fuck how fragile we are :/

 

[ApharmdX]

RIP. Ad you got to admit, sideshow or not, Kimbo had an earnest desire to learn more of the fight game. Dude went from Internet celeb to UFC fighter.

 

[HamsterPackage]

James Thompson?

That was his ear, not his eye.

No he's talking about one of his backyard fights and he legit fucked a dudes eye/eye socket up.

Rip
