Kimbo Slice dead at 42
Popular mixed martial arts fighter Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson has died. He was 42.
Slice was stricken at his South Florida home and taken Monday afternoon to the Northwest Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale, a spokeswoman for the Coral Springs, Fla., Police told Yahoo Sports on Monday. He later died.
Bellator president Scott Coker confirmed Slice's death in a statement:
"We are all shocked and saddened by the devastating and untimely loss of Kimbo Slice, a beloved member of the Bellator family. One of the most popular MMA fighters ever, Kimbo was a charismatic, larger-than-life personality that trancended the sport."
"Outside the cage, he was a friendly, gentle giant and a devoted family man. His loss leaves us all with extremely heavy hearts, and our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Ferguson family and all of Kimbo's friends, fans, and teammates."
Sgt. Carla Kmiotek of the Coral Springs police told Yahoo Sports no foul play is suspected. She said the department dispatched a team of officers to Slice's home because he is a public figure in order to control whatever crowd might gather.

Re: Kimbo Slice dead at 42
exactly id say hes far more well known as a bare knuckle fighter than an MMA (5-2) fighter, his pro boxing record was better than his MMA records (7-0)Micmac wrote:No really,I used to love watching his backyard bare knuckle fight videos RIP
