Damn, the movement he started when those first street fights went viral was INSANE. I was there.

Damn RIP, I guess steroids catch up with you eventually. Wonder how Arnold/Stallone have managed to avoid something like this...

They are movie stars who didn't put their bodies through the huge physical stresses to which real, actual athletes are subjected.
 
Weird. I was JUST watching one of his old street fights randomly last week. I remember Mega64 did a parody of it. 42 is too damn young.
 
I'm old enough to remember when this guy was just the bodyguard in all those "In The VIP" porno vids online. Then he had all those backyard fight vids where he'd just destroy people in some suburban neighborhood.

RIP Kimbo, you entertained and probably lived a fucking crazy ass life in 42 years.

Good point, it's a fucking shame. Dude was way too young and provided a lot of entertainment for millions of people. From everything I've heared he was a genuinly good guy too.

arnies had some heart surgery done already though
 
RIP.

The strain these fighters put on their bodies is enormous, even if you ignore the PED use.

Cutting weight in such a short time is brutal on your body.

That's without mentioning the painkillers athletes often take to get on the field.

RIP Kimbo

Kimbo never cut weight, the HW division is a ridiculous range of 206-265. A lot of guys fight at 240.

Those sources are bad, and you should feel bad. They're just tweeting "woah!" at the rumor.

Normally when this type of thing happens it's true though. I believe it's true. Sucks. That they pulled the tweet gives me a slight hope. I liked watching him fight.

Well, it was just yesterday that they said Jack Black was dead, and that was a hoax.
 
I was just reading about how heart tissue does not regenerate. Patients that are running with "5% functionality" pretty much require a transplant to survive. Scary stuff.
 
Heartbreaking. Hope he pulls through. I remember first hearing about him and always calling him a phony for beating up random dudes on the street.

But then he shows up on The Ultimate Fighter and just comes off as this sweet, humble guy that just wants to make a name for himself fighting. Was impossible for me to not like and root for the guy after that.

When Hillary clinches the presumptive nomination for real for real tomorrow, I hope the narrative goes to Clinton vs Trump. Bernie can do what he wants I guess and wait until the convention to concede, but he hopefully starts getting even more ignored by the media.

Could be directing people to support down ticket races and donating towards that, but instead he keeps collecting money for a lost cause.
