    When I was 16 I found his managers contact info and emailed him explaining how I was a huge fan asking for an autograph and even wrote a comedy parody book report where Kimbo was the main character. Maybe two weeks to a month later, a large envelope came from a Miami P.O. Box with an 8 1/2 * 11 picture of him posing with his fists up autographed in gray sharpie. It just shows how much of a real dude he was to his fans, the postage was around 9 bucks.

      STFU. His manager Mike used and abused girls down on their luck to exploit them making porn. Reality Kings... and Kimbo was there so none of these poor girls would get out of line. He also had a phone sex business set up in his own house.. These were not real men. You calling them men, makes me want to skin you in person.

    I remember seeing him fight on UA-cam when i was in 7th grade; i was enthralled. This big, vicious brute of a man. He was almost terrifying but so much fun to watch. I would literally watch his fights on UA-cam with my younger brother, just to crap ourselves watching how badly he would knock people out.
    So around 2011 i commented something on an MMA forum about how I didn't find him to be particularly skilled in mixed martial arts & didnt think he'd have too much success. Basically, the way i was saying it i was talking shit about him as a 19 almost 20 year old college kid. Kimbo Slice, HIS DAMN SELF, commented on what i said.
    "Its like a different sport than im used to but as long as God allows me, I'll get better. We're not the best yet but we're trying to be "
    Wrote it down and never forgot it.

      therefore the astronomers already have a spot in Valhalla. likewise women who die giving birth are reborn a Valkyrie that protects the hall. those are just some of the very many paths into Valhalla. there's many many more.

When he passed away I cried like a baby because of how friendly and just pure he was with me and my buddy, two random 20 year Olds. Rip Kimbo. Thank you for being the way you were.

    I've never cried so hard watching something on screen. His son is seems amazing. Mike is an amazing human just like Kevin was. The mother is amazingly strong. The nasty rumors that went around in high school about his death, the things I believed as a kid back then, I'm disappointing in myself. Proud that they are all from my city. What a beautifully directed piece. Thank you Kevin Ferguson.

    It’s ironic how wholesome the man was. You’d expect him to be this hardened gangster who was cold blooded, ruthless…but from all accounts, it seems that Kevin was one of the nicest guys ever. And that makes me so incredibly happy.

      its ironic that you think he was wholesome. he's a good dude. you could say he had some lebel of morls compared to street contemporaries, but saying he's "wholesome" is bs. go watch some 700 club or family matters if you want wholesome.

      This is one of the dumbest comments I’ve ever read lol.
      If you watched this entire video and didn’t get ‘wholesome’ vibes, something is wrong with you, not me. From his loyalty to and consideration of his friends, as well as, the dedication he showed to his family, the irony is in the fact that the vast majority of people who didn’t know him expected him to be some sort of ruthless monster because of his fighting style coupled with his hardcore physical presentation.
      “Some lebel of morls”? Gtfoh with your no-spelling self 😂

If you’re in the age range of 30 to 40, I guarantee most of us have a memory of new kimbo videos coming out and watching them with all your homies…we would watch them in my computer class 😂 his natural ability took him to places he probably never thought he’d see..shout out to big ferg and the great memories and fights he gave us.
