At the dawn of the 2000s, videos with Kimbo Slice blew up the Internet, elevating the black-bearded giant to the “King of the Web Brawlers” status. Having made it out of the ghetto, he burst onto the MMA scene and continued to crack chins, now on a professional level. His whole life story resembled an action-packed Hollywood blockbuster with a tragic ending. Today we look back at Kimbo’s journey, from backyard slobberknockers to global superstardom.

Never knew much about Kimbo, thought he was a street fighter that failed in the sporting arena… only question I have is, was there mutual respect between him and that coppa after their fight? First dude to actually stand up against him. 🤷♂️
I legitimately had NO IDEA that Kimbo had passed years ago! I watched him come up through the ranks, make some of the most absolutely devastating fights, even on the street, and I had no idea that he passed away 7 years ago! I am SO sorry to his family and his friends! Rest in peace Kevin (Kimbo Slice) Ferguson. One of the baddest dudes to ever enter the ring.
Nothing but Respect for him. He was bullied in school but still showed Respect. He was a good man and a true bad ass. 🙏 🕊

I'm about to boo hoo and I didn't even know of him… what a great guy. Bless you, Kimbo! <3
Hatts off to Kimbo 🙏 RIP 🙏
This should be made into a movie, just saying… it’s the inspirational story everyone loves!
If Kimbo was in his 20s rather than his 30s, I’d imagine he would have been quicker and done even better.
R.I.P. Kimbo, a true legend. The Bully of bullies.
Is it just me or does that shamrock battle seem 100% staged? I mean from the fake shove at the meeting to that bullshit take down wtf kimbo gave ken his foot and he purposely feel you could see shamrock literally rush in to look like he's doing the takedown but that was 100% bullshit
Kimbo would have been the perfect DC character Doomsday
great video man! RIP Kimbo🙏🙏🙏
If heart was a person.
Rip 😭
honestly would love to see a movie based on his life
i saw his videos when i was a kid and always wondered what happened to this man, i never remember his name i am so glad i encountered this video and i am so sad to hear about his pass away, i remmeber i hated him at first when i saw his vidoes, saw him as a bully, looked like a bully, till i learned back then that he was actually an amazing person and was looking for bullies to fight.. rest in peace, and ihope his family is doing ok..
Very well put together piece about a man who most didn't know the whole story.
God always takes away the good fighters that fought for a purpose in life. Kimbo had a good heart protecting his friends from bullies since middle school❤ May God bless his bloodline R.I.P Kimbo Slice, One of the worlds best warriors in history since day 1 truly inspiring and motivating. 💪🏼❤️🔥
Kimbo would have been a beast in BKFC
he was a legend and the videos on the phones in school were legendary. RIP Warrior

now thats what im talkin about! dude looks and fights like a videogame character 😀
Winners don't use drugs. Kimbo was overcharged.
My favorite MMA fighter he was a Dope person too it showed in how he spoke Salute and heavenly bless up to Kimbo
I loved his attitude, his heart, and under all that noise, he was really a humble person, RIP gentle giant
Same dude that got upset when he took a knee to the face in one of those “web fights”.
I only remember 1 fight of his. That TKO from an undercard Seth Petreluuzzi.
Sad story but really should’ve entered the UFC WAY EARLIER
He wasn't sh..! Cost people a grip with that weak first fight in the MMA.
Can you imagine if BKFC was around when Kimbo was in his prime
didn't see that one coming. R.I.P to Kimbo. Through out the video, was curious to see what would happen if him and brock fought
RIP Champ
He would’ve dominated bkfc right now if he was still alive today , rip the goat 🐐
The storyline is a master piece ❤❤❤next king kaka Netflix
A true human being, even though he was so big and mean never a bully , a hero to the underdog. He is a testament to the human spirit rest in peace you giant man you
Love you, Kimbo.
Beautiful life story
KIMBO SLICE! Rest In Power, KING. 👑 One Love! ☝🏿🖤
These vids were most iconic and viral vids going around in my school. Crazy how even at a different time when things were less social media present, the impact was no less. Kimbo was a king and Jorge was his protege
Ok lets be honest, he did not “kill it” in the ufc. He did aright. Had a few good fights but he was nowhere near killing it
Idc what nobody say kimbo didnt lose that fight against that police officer 🤣 he was just tired and couldnt keep fightin
I remember being a kid and watching Kimbo street fights with my friends on YouTube. He literally blinded some dude who was twice his size in a backyard.
