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.
Wow that's awesome bro.cherish that.🙏😁
Keep that forever my dude. That’s pretty fucken special
Lol
did you guys get married
Where did he get the $9?
Absolute credit to Kimbo's friend/manager for staying true to Kimbo and his son for no profit, that's a real one right there. R.i.p Slice💯
Real Talk.
Ya .he's a true friend..thanks Mike
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.
Never would have guessed these two were friends/business partners. That just goes to show how we cannot judge books by their cover
Wait how you know he ain’t get no profit?
Listening to his mother, you can see where his strength and confidence came from. RIP Kimbo
she was a bad mother. clearly.
@@5GTrevoryou don't know what you're talking about, you're probably the type that tells your kids to go to the teacher or principal to rescue them from bullies when in reality humans are still extremely primal beings at the same time as being A human. He grew up in Miami Florida, like what do you expect her to tell her son !? Go tell the teacher and NEVER shoot the one ? And always be looked at like A jitterbug in front of Everyone, and never to know what it is like to stand up for yourself or follow your aspirations, dreams or goals in your life? Like C'mon guy.
His mom is awesome. Would like to meet her
@@5GTrevorfor telling him to stand up for himself when he got bullied?
He had a profound impact on kids who were bullied. You felt like he was fighting for you. Definitely inspired me to box. RIP King 🤲🏾
do y'all really feel that low about y'allselves y'all gotta call y'allselves "kings?" wtf are y'all kings of? the ghetto??
I was bullied and he never seemed more than a bully himself, there was no narative at the time of him taking out bullies, only video evidence of him being the agressor and hitting people when their backs are turned.
@@user-kj8or9uh3b well that statement as a whole is just totally false but true also!!! He NEVER hit people from behind, least of all on purpose. All those guys in those fights we're getting paid and they willingly signed up to fight him and get paid to do it knowing that it was a mismatch in most cases I do agree with you and it seemed as though he was beating up on little guys but that's all the guys they have. But otherwise I definitely hear you because when it came to regulated professional Combat Sports was he fared very badly versus everyone he fought who had any Talent or good background in MMA
That's some very wishful thinking, he was getting paid to fight people in the backyard for money, it's as simple as that he certainly wasn't fighting bullies if anything he was fighting guys are much smaller than him not by choice just by natural selection
How? He’s a gigantic, naturally gifted athlete. He never represented the little guy or the oppressed. Idk what you’re talking about here
So sad watching his mom talk about him breaks my heart. No parent should ever bury their child.
RIP Kimbo, you were a beast.
Was gonna leave the same exact comment before scrolling down and seeing yours.. you took the words out of my mouth bro.
She seems like such a nice good hearted lady too 😓
*RIP Kimbo*
Absolutely sad.
Shame he is gone.
He was a good guy and definitely an interesting character.
I'm sorry and this isn't the place that I should be saying anything but...
shoukd?
Actually it was quite common as we evolved as humans life expectancy increased. Before it was expected your kids were gna die before their parents.
@@aaronpatterson8874
Expected that the kids die before the parents?
Ehm, what time period in history are you talking about exactly?
*"ITS NOT THAT IT WAS THE ENEMY. IT WAS THE INAMEE. THE INNER ME"*
I'll never forget that quote. Rest easy big dawg 🙏
That was deep! 💯
@@_mayo__mocity_Book of revelation
8The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is
ITs about our reflection. We are the beast our mind has to overcome.
Holds alot of truth.. and you will spend eternity fighting enemies but if you take the time to fix the inner me you'll spend forever with peace ..ourselves are one of the few things we have complete control over..RIP Kimbo
33And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. 34Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
He said that to the centurion who killed him.
Carry on is the scripture Jesus was crucified an innocent Man for our crimes and none stood in his defense. It's the story of how we are.
Man this dude was king of the Internet & every Highschool discussion in mid 2000's.
Esp in SOuth Fl.
I was a youngster when I met Kimbo , he told me if life tries to kick your ass ..... punch it right in the face! ..... I'll never forget that or the look on his face .... he was very kind to his fans .... rip kimbo!
Crazy to think back to old UA-cam and street fight days and how influential Kimbo is/was. Those fights were amazing to watch for the first times all those years ago. Thank you Kimbo may you Rest In Peace you warrior.
Makes me miss bum fights
He fought nobodies 🤦🤦🤦
@@ronjeremy9648 he whoop your nobody having ass too😂
Bro, youtube? We used to download homie off of Kazaa and Limewire. Wtf u know about it?
@@ronjeremy9648 but i bet ANYONE of his opponents would whoop your punk ass
So he died standing up. What a legend. I miss watching that guy. RIP Kimbo. You are missed
Yes thats a true Fighter right there. R.I.P Kimbo.
Here I was tryna keep the emotions under control and then you made this bullseye comment. Best comment on this video, Thanks
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.
Mike and Kimbos friendship is so inspiring…. RIP to a legend
The worst thing a parent could ever experience is the passing of their own child. Rest easy, Kimbo Slice, and blessings to the rest of his family and friends. Also, Mike is a dope ass human being.
50% of the human population couldn’t make it to adulthood 100 years ago. Every parent had experienced loss of a child back then.
@@boomboomboom9297 true, only the parents survived at that time. Crazy how half the population got old at all, when they actually died before they became adults
@@MrFcukthis lol
I can't imagine Mike didn't take some off the top for himself while the getting was good, but it was nice that he helped and support his friend and that other guy when they were down and helped raise them up.
Nah, there are many worse things. For example being strapped to a chair and seeing your child get thrown into 'the Brazen Bull'* and being forced to hear his/her screams of agony is waaay worse.
*The Brazen Bull was a bronze hollow bull that could fit a person in it. Once the victim was locked inside, they’d light a fire under the bull, slowly roasting the victim inside.
“Well I say, the lord giveth and the lord taketh away. What can we do?”
She said that with so much wisdom and stoicism.
Hits you right in the chest.
Kimbo used fighting as a way to enrich the lives of those he loved.
Legend
Yes bro I’m sure kimbo new the lord to I see him praying in there, n that’s sick cah when you praise the lord and listen, you’ll be up there with him and his mum and when i thought that I was gassed💯❤️👊love my brother
Thats a tough lady.
@tobyhope4658 u make soo much sense and don't sound like a ridiculous douche Rogan listening micro man
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.
@GSP UFC and stuff your name is andrewtategoat you meat rider 🤣🤣 imagine having to use another man’s name as your own 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What was the rumours?
What was the rumours?
Thought his son was baby alive Kevin Ferguson jr

RIP Kimbo 😞 Always loved never forgotten
I love Kimbo's mom! What a blessing, thank you for raising Kimbo and sharing him with the world 🙏🏼
You can feel her strength when she speaks of him. No wonder he was so strong mentally. She is inspiring as well.
@@mattnormandrums absolutely 💯
@@mattnormandrums yes she is. Seems like such a supportive mom.
💯
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.
@Wesley Hempoli
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 😂
Not what ironic means
@@wesleyhempoli5548 it's not a competition
Wholesome doesnt mean timid. Ive met Kimbo im from Miami. He was approachable and treated us like he knew us. he was a huge man but extremely extremely humble and approachable. I met him b4 his MMA debut so he was even bigger
I was in the same school as Kimbo. One time a kid said to him 'you aint never gonna be 'nuttin', you aint shit', and Kimbo said 'Well, we can have it after school and I'mma show you!'... That night after school Kimbo beat up the kid with a single punch, then 3 other kids rushed him at the same time and he dropped each one. This comment will probably get lost in the sea of the comments here but yeah we knew in high school we aint gona mess with him after that.
😭thank you
Cap
Lol, wish i could have seen their faces. Before and after.
Anybody can act tough but when someone is tough but is still kind and humble that's a true super hero. They can tear you in half but they would rather protect you and show you love. That's a great father, friend/brother, son....a great man.
Me and one of my buddies met Kimbo at a Belator event not too long before he passed away and he was nothing but respectful and friendly. He was as real a it gets and when I told him I was a Jr black belt in Tae Kwon Do his response was "oh so you're a kicker huh" and I said yes and he was like "I know for a fact you could out kick me" and I was maybe 140 pounds at the time and I couldn't believe how pure he was for a dude growing up brawling in the streets of miami. 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. They say you had a large heart, and that's 100 percent the truth.
Gay.

@@balocke2063 its a joke, son. That was a pretty cool story about meeting a famous fighter.
Im shocked that this hasn't blown up. The production is insane.
i mean UFC is partly a media company but yes it was a very good docu
Edit: Zuffa rather
He sucked when he turned Pro. Was only good against Bums on the street.
226k views in 2 weeks for a channel with less than 6k subs is decent. In some years this will hit millions.
@@speedracerjeff
So what that he sucked? He's still a combat legend. First one to make it mainstream on the internet. Considering how he late he became pro, so pretty missed many years of basics/fundamentals, his career was ok. But what makes him a legend is his legacy.
@@speedracerjeff have him over anyone in a streetfight
Mike is not just a manager he is THE manager a real man and most important a real family.
Kimbo is one of the main reasons I started training and working out at 20. Just knowing that a man beast like that existed was enough to get me in shape in case I ever ran into someone like him on the streets. Rest In Peace Kimbo Slice and thank you
I remember being a kid on the EARLY days of youtube when you had to watch anime episodes 7-8 mins at a time. Watching those early Kimbo fights was the only entertainment we really had on this platform and it felt unreal. He was like a mythical Black Super Hero. Being a huge MMA fan, I was super excited to see a literal street fighter make the transition to MMA. In another universe I would have loved to have seen him in boxing which suited his strength better. RIP
👌👌
I forgot about that. Chunin exams, AMVs, Kimbo fights and smosh
He made me really love fighting. Those early UA-cam videos of kimbo and those world star days
Especially when you think that he was already in his mid 30s when he started going pro an learn MMA, that’s huge.
Imagine if he was trained from an early age.
I remember being in the early years of high-school. When a new Kimbo video would drop we'd have like 20 kids all huddled around in the computer lab to watch it. Kimbo was like a super hero to us. Thanks for the memories ❤️
Lmao I made the same exact comment then I saw yours.
We did the same !! Funny thing is that I live in Italy... those street fights were global
Kimbo fucking slice the reason Americas high schools had a fight club every Friday
@@SouthSideFlamingo holy shit that's wild. And awesome
Rip Kimbo 🙏 great man
"When a kid tells you something, you gotta listen." Respect to parents like her.
Mikes a good guy. You don’t find many genuine people like him anymore.
Really enjoyed this video.
Makes you sad, he left a legacy behind.
This was a tear jerker, rest in peace slice i hope your in the halls of Valhalla amongst the great warriors
don't think it works like that. imagine he was Christian not norse lol
@@triztenklk sucks no one knows what it's like on the other side but hey wouldn't mind seeing him walk through the doors
@@panchov3129 I'd like too think so. A true warrior no doubt. But vikings had to live and die by there arm ring to get into valhalla
@@triztenklk just shut up and like the comment man
@@triztenklk actually that's a common misconception due to Hollywood. vikings actually had many ways into the hall of feasts in Valhalla. one absolutely was to die by the sword with sword or axe in hand. to live as a seer making hallucinogenic teas to visit the heavens. astronomers we're very covered for their knowledge of the cosmos. it is said Odin relies heaviest on his astronomers to hold the cosmos together
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. I'm not calling you ignorant of it or anything. it's a very common misconception and is by no means your fault.
The best part of this story besides the part to where Kimbo made it to the UFC was the friendship part. Them 2 guys was much more then just best friends they were like family. That in itself was amazing story. Best of luck to you also baby-Slice
Kimbo deserves a movie about him.
But Dana was not a fan. Dana thought he was the shits. He never was quiet about it so I was disappointed with his time in ufc
A warrior, a teacher , a father, but most of all a good man. RIP KIMBO
They did an amazing job gathering all these life members. Really appreciate how well presented.
I knew Masvidal was a street fighter, but never knew he was discovered by Kimbo, that's crazy.
Real recognizes Real.
I actually got emotional watching this, I never realized how much of a impact he had on me.
😊
Man I’m realizing this fact too smh RIP kimbo
Facts
I came to the comments after watching this to say the exact same two things you just said.
Same
This is one documentary that can just make you teary-eyed. RIP Kimbo
It's amazing how much a fighter can inspire and motivate. RIP Kimbo Slice.
Rest well legend, i remember being a kid watching his fights, so much nostalgia.
Thank you kimbo!
That's hilarious that you mention it like it was cartoon or something.
Man this hit me in my feelings. Rip kimbo 🥺
U ain't the only one

I love that you can hear Mike yelling "FERGGGG" in his street fights because he was one of the old school friends who knew him way before the Kimbo days. i loved Kimbo, so sad he's gone. He truly was a legend.
Yeah they were like brothers.
💯💯
You can tell Momma Slice is proud of her son and everything he was able to accomplish.
Seemed like the coolest guy ever rip kimbo
Wow, I just wanna give Ms. Clarke the biggest hug possible. Much love from Albany New York.
I feel honored to have witnessed his life
Blessed to have been alive at the same time and see his raw power like no one else
KIMBO AND HIS FAMILY ARE SUCH GOOD PEOPLE.. The world misses Kimbo! Bless his friends and family. Thanks for the memories
They also have a Judo Olympian in their family tree. Gifted athletes.
This is a man you can feel.
In your heart.
In your soul.
A real man.
A man aspiring men want to be like.
That guy.
That guy right there.
That's the man.
Why?
I don't know there's just something about him.
He's got that something.
That something special.
When God pours that special love on you everybody knows it.
Everybody.
Kimbo didn't die.
Kimbo graduated life.
Not many men do.
Kimbo did.
Kimbo is special in a special way.
I'm actually crying right now because he has so much love.
Ahhh man....
You are the man my man.
You are the man!
Rip kimbo slice .. a true warrior with a heart of gold how a real man should be . God bless baby slice hope you have a amazing career
Rest in peace Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson 🕊🌹
I'm from the UK and loved watching those street fights as a kid, good luck to his son!
His mother is so proud of him. Truly a beautiful homage. Respect to his friend and manager for honoring his memory by standing by his son.
You see those big scary muscular dudes looking vicious and seeing videos like these you realize how he was not only the legendary street fighter but he was somebody's little boy, somebody's everything and the sunshine in their life. This video in the first 60 seconds made me tear up RIP king always will remember you and you're legendary fighting and insane charisma and good heart.
I really like this documentary. His mom is so proud
Have to say this is such a well made documentary and tribute to Kimbo's life and legacy. Very impressive.
💯..Real tlk
Legendary human, larger than life. We were lucky to be around during his time, Rest In Peace Kimbo.
True legend. Gifted athlete and a man of integrity. He's in the same class as Roberto Clemente . And that's saying alot.
I'm almost 43 years old. I've been a fan of Kimbo since circa the internet starting to even be a thing. That part where he said Kimbo said he was scared... ooof!!! Got me. Great doc!! Salute
I mean whoever is the producer and people behind the scenes this is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen and this guy was just awesome we all seen him grow up late in his career and we all hated when he died. It's just amazing he's surrounded by family and friends while he was on his adventure I think that's the best part of all this.
As a struggling single father of three, trying to find where he belongs, stories like this are so inspiring. To be a true alpha, you must be tough enough to be a leader but gentile enough to empathize with the weak. R.I.P. Kimbo. You are an inspiration and a proper example of integrity.
Nah. Alpha shit is bullshit. Alphas die young b. Men raise the next generation. Confrontation is largely unnecessary, and often death is avoidable. You're a father of three. You're already more alpha than any punk, Chad , or badass. You're a fucking MAN. Go do your thing man. Look around you. This is what winning looks like.
Alpha😂😂😂🤡, dude just watched a 30 min documentary about a real one and want to link it with the toxic cult of alpha males
What a legend, one of the most recognizable fighters OAT
I remember watching his fight videos on UA-cam as a teenager and thinking how bad ass he was and that he just looked absolutely terrifying. But then as he began to get some more mainstream popularity and we seen him in interviews and then on the ultimate fighter with the ufc we started to see and learn just what a humble a nice guy he really was. He seemed to be such an awesome and kind dude. We lost him way too soon.
Kimbo lifted his entire family up and left them set up to do better in the future... most... that should be the goal of everyone... especially a father... even a son wants to lift his family up.... so Kimbo can rest in peace, mission success 🙌
You can tell Mike truly loved Kimbo…..RIP.
Rest in peace Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson. Rest well legend.🙏❤️
Beautiful man rest in peace kimbo
The Original Street Fighting Legend 👊🏾 Rest Easy Kimbo 🙏
This hasn't gotten this views it deserves. The world is a darker place since he passed. RIP Kimbo. Love.
I'm thankful I got to meet this man, and got a Signature from him. Much respect and love KIMBO SLICE
I was living in South Fl when Kimbo filmed that first backyard fight. The video went viral before viral was a thing. I knew then he was different. The fact that he wasnt just a warrior in the ring but actually a good dude literally just trying to fight for his life makes his story that much more compelling. Gone too soon. Long Live King Kimbo & salute to his manager Icey Mike
This Documentary is well thought out and put together. Rest Easy Kimbo!
Isn't is crazy how the biggest, baddest, & toughest dudes out there almost always end up being gentle giants? R.I.P. Kimbo, you were a real one...
Rip Kimbo. I showed my dad his 1st ufc fight on TUF since they were both from Miami. They’re both gone now 😢 Memories
This man was 1 of the 1st UA-cam stars.... His fight videos are still legendary!! RIP
I miss Kimbo Slice. He was such a humble and kind person. Always cheered for him.
Long Live Kimbo ! Rest in Peace 💛
Now as I'm getting older - it feels really unique to see documentaries about some of the things I experienced (watched and enjoyed) while younger.
What a guy,fighter,person, legend
30min. documentary took me over an hour to watch because I kept rewinding and rewatching parts. Learned a lot more about Kimbo than I knew before. Very well done. His friend Mike is a hell of a good person and I love that he's still watching out for Kimbo's son. Hey momma, he kept that promise, he was famous!
I remember stumbling onto his early street fight videos from UA-cam when I was in college... as somebody who did a little fighting myself I was impressed. Its weird, the guys who are the most brutal in the ring are the most humble and kind outside of the ring.
Choking up watching this he was such a real person, down to earth and kind. RIP Kimbo Slice the King
True definition of fighting for what you want in life. Never gave up. Willing to change up the game plan. And stayed loyal. Street fighting icon. RIP Kimbo
He's not the definition, but he is a great example.
I don’t care who you are, every human being facing death will say” I’m scared” rip Kimbo
I'm more afraid of loosing my loved ones than my own life.
Death is no different than before you where alive.
@@fennet.7751 I'm just afraid to leave my kids here without me. I'm glad they'll have each other though. As long as I know they'll be ok .. I'm alright.
@@awkwardautistic me too brother, knowing theres a possability that i could die before my daughter and leave her with unanswered questions scares me to death
One minute in and I already love his mom
I remember the excitement when he joined the UFC, it was back when there was still undiscovered talent or stories, and reminiscent of a time before people studied multi-disciplinary MMA from birth. So fun yet brutal to see this dude in action.
Kimbo first blew up online my senior year of high school, I remember binge watching all his fights on UA-cam at my best friend’s house, it’s crazy to see what he turned that into #RipKimbo
Same. Th rumors that went around his death were off too. Like that he got shot working security at an opalocka flee market? Why did I believe that? Poor guy.
Couldn’t pick a greater man inside and outside the cage . He was a REAL FATHER
Kimbo was a gentle giant he was the kind of person you can go anywhere with cause he was that humble
beautiful story, beautiful mother, great son and great best friend and of course Kimbo we miss you
I remember growing up watching his fight on UA-cam... ever since I have always been a fan of his. Even though he maybe gone, he's never forgotten. Still one of my favorite fighters! RIP Kimbo Slice.
You gotta be in your 20s because i was watching him on limewire😂
He knew he was dying... at that very moment... he wanted to stand and fight and die doing what he’s always done! I remember as a kid my dad showing me his fights on UA-cam! I stared watching mma a little before he got on the scene! Watched his whole mma career on ultimate fighter! To me he is a ultimate fighter! Love you Kembo!
He learned the lessons for his Soul & he went home ❤🙏
rip to such a legend grew up watching his street fights there will never be another kimbo
I miss him so much, back in the days when I was 15 I didn't even know who he was, where he came from or his name. But I knew his fights on UA-cam. I got hooked on him and he's the reason why I'm avidly watching Bellator/UFC. If Kimbo started younger in the Octagon and had training I can guarantee he would've been a champion without a doubt. One of the toughest dudes to ever do it R.I.P. Ferg! God bless you and your family.
RIP to you too sir. Legends recognize legends 😅
i was 17-18 i am so nostalgic.
Kimbo is like part of my childhood, he honestly seemed like a great guy. Its sad that he passed when he did.
This man was a beast. A humble animal
Rip kimbo slice. You were an influence on my life as well as millions of others. Thank you
Incredible story telling of an incredible man inside and outside of the octagon.
RIP Kimbo Slice,
Thank you for being a part of everyone’s lives
I remember a group of us in high school like 15 years ago gathered around a computer in class watching his fights just watching in awe how much power he had. Someone would accidentally yell "Oh Shit!" after a KO and the teacher makes us sit back down.😂
Kimbo, rest easy legend💪
If you didnt shed a tear to this i dont know what to say. It had me in bits dads are so important. Rest in heaven to all the fallen. And may the creator look after these bodyless souls keep them safe and in peace waiting for their loved ones to join them. I don't have religion but i have faith. I just cant believe anything man writes like they have all the answers well you dont. The only ones that do are the ones that aint here anymore. Great video of a great man with a big heart.
You can tell he was a really good person when he talks
Lol never would have imagined the UFC showing footage of the street fighting of Kimbo and promoting it when Dana used to trash Kimbo and backyard brawling with a deep passion and hatred for it, but glad Kimbo was able to change Dana’s mind and prove to the world that he’s not what people thought of him judging by the cover. Kimbo is a legend and I wish he was still alive so he could beat the bricks out of Jake Paul cuz Kimbo had serious boxing skills and would destroy Jake Paul.
Jake wouldn't even take that fight. He would KNOW BETTER 💯🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dana only says what's gonna make him money. He just goes with the (cash) flow. Now that kimbo is a cultural icon, and there is some time and distance between the illegal street fights, he's ok with promoting him. You can hear it from his own mouth, he just said the highest rating they ever got on The Ultimate Fighter was when Kimbo was on the show, with a huge grin on his face
@@Antonio-xb4pz Kimbo would've been near 50 by now. Lol have you seen Kimbos last boxing matches? He looked bad.
