Thread: MMA Fighter Kimbo Slice dead at 42

Barely older than me! No word on what yet but it was probably a heart attack or something along those lines. I'm certain he didn't live the healthiest life, especially before he became famous.

RIP Kimbo!

RIP Kimbo!

I believe he was a known steroid user.

He was. His last major fight was overturned because he tested positive for steroids after a third round knockout.

Was that the fight against Dada 5000?

I think so

I never got to see much of his MMA stuff, but I used to always watch his old street fighting videos. That dude was intimidating as hell. Right off the bat though you have to assume this was related to heart issues or other things stemming from his steroid use. He seemed like a cool dude when he wasn't smashing peoples faces in.

Everything I've ever read about him said he was a great guy away from the ring.

They should ban MMA. Too many deaths.

MMA didn't kill Kimbo Slice. The decisions he made did.
