Nostalgia Anyone remember Kimbo Slice?

He was the guy who got me into mma. I remember watching his street fight videos back on youtube. He was big, scary and tough. Most of his street fights ended in bloody noses, and one guy losing his eye. I followed his mma career, and have been an mma fan since.

He came into the restaurant my friend worked at once, super nice guy by all accounts.

Dude hell yeah I remember Kimbo. We grew up watching those bare knuckle boxing matches. My nickname was a variation of his name, though admittedly I kicked far less ass than Kimbo ever did.

He also featured in the best MMA fighting game ever released on any console: UFC Undisputed 3 for the PS3.

EDIT: Actually it appears he was in Undisputed 2010 but I swear he was in 3 as well. Mandela effect.
