The Epic Kimbo Slice Story: From Backyard Brawls to MMA Glory

[@Pint123456789]

We kids from Germany, all about 12 years old... the very first KZbin years... we didn't know what we were doing or what we were watching, but dude... Kimbo Slice was like a hero to us. The heroic villain we needed. We were bullied by older kids... Kimbo Slice was the reason why we finally started fighting back. To defend our self. He is the reason why I am a multiple German and South German amateur champion in boxing and MMA. Thank you Kimbo. Thank yor Mr. Kevin Ferguson. We love and miss you.

@ I agree but he could have made a lot more money with training Jon jones without training is not a millionaire Quinton Rampage Jackson is not a millionaire without training money ain’t everything but who the hell don’t want as much as they can get for the work they put in

[@seheadhunter50]

No, it wasn't and no he wasn't past his prime, he had some great fights and even though he was new to wrestling training, he had one of the best take downs in MMA history in one of his first MMA fights. Anderson Silva was at his absolute best when he was 2-3 years older than Kimbo. You guys are brainwashed about age because athletes retire from overuse injuries or not wanting to compete anymore. That's why different positons in the NFL retire at different age groups on average, because of different wear and tear.

You need to learn what the word legend means. It's thrown around in comment sections as much as the word "underrated" and "who's here in 20##" It's pathetic. 🙄

[@dragosi8980]

I was born and raised in a small village in rural Romania. We got internet at the same time youtube started, around '06-'07. I was around 14 at that time and me and my friends were huge kimbo fans, to the point that one one of our friends who was really big for his age got the nickname "kimbo slice". He was probably the first youtube personality that I know of. You look at guys like McGregor and how filthy rich he got, and you must think that kimbo could have been at least at 10% his riches, which would still be 30 million. He will forever be a legend.

One day, we’re playing beer pong in my friend’s garage and this huge dude rides up on a bicycle. Kimbo walks up to the garage and immediately starts shaking hands and introducing himself. We offered him a beer but he declined saying he was training. He hung out for like 30-45 minutes and was cracking jokes and just being personable. He was scary looking as hell but the nicest dude in person. RIP

Inspiring story, but also made me sad. I was a sophmore/junior in high school when his internet fame started to rise. We would surround the PC and watch this guy just LEVEL people. Its nice to hear he was such a kind soul. His son seems nice as well. RIP Kimbo. Thank you for everything.

"Slice dropping Cantrell like names on a hollywood party" is a goated commentary line

[@crazypato3752]

What does he mean by that

[@zb5902]

people at Hollywood parties drop names(so just name) of famous people they know/worked with to make themselves seem more important
