- Опубликовано: 28 апр 2023
- 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.

the fact that he wasnt a bully himself but looked for bullies shows he has a good heart but still a warrior.
Technically, he had a bad heart that killed him.

@@burnercolt6647I dont know much on slice but if this is accurate I'm going to hell
@@scousersharkey5880 ? Did you watch the video?
RIP Kimbo. When he wasn’t fighting to support his family, he was defending his friends. legendary inspiration 💪🏻 🕊️
RIP
I wish he would of walked away sometimes but he had a big heart and saved countless people from getting beat up or worse!
What a true comment!

The first mma fighter i ever watched, but at that time i didn’t know his background of struggles. Thanks for this documentary, RIP to a family man and a gem of a person, Kimbo Slice 🖤
I remember his fights in the early 2000s. Going to my cousins house because he had a computer with Internet and RUclips, watching the street fights.
What a time, thanks for the memories Kimbo!
Same here. His fights were brutal. It's insane to learn how good of a heart he had.
Ur definitely my age. The Internet than was for people w money, had to go to my friend's to watch. Lol
Im from Argentina and remember watching his fights with my high school classmates, I think Kimbo was well known everywhere in the world back in the early 2000´s, what a legend.
I was lucky enough to meet him many years ago at my local martial arts gym that I was going to. He took 10-15 minutes out of his day to give me some pointers and encouragement. Despite how intimidating he was he was a really chill and nice guy. RIP.
I was unlucky enough to be in Florida during Andrew but that's probably as close as we ever got
cool story.
In your dreams. I asked Mike Tyson about it and he says you a liar.
@@fatdad64able Because nothing ever happends.
Kimbo Slice was nothing but a joke in the UFC
RIP Kimbo Slice. His street fighting videos provided plenty of entertainment during my junior/senior high school years.
@@theliesisire7485 shuddup
@@masonh3034 bro mad because facts were spoken
@@theliesisire7485 If he were still with us, I bet he could kick your ass.
@@theliesisire7485 not really overrated for me. We watch these fights because we want to be entertained, so I guess his purpose was achieved. However, looking at it more closely he has a tough chin that's for sure, and the only reason why he lost to that cop was because of his stamina. Had he trained cardio, he will be a beast in the octagon that's for sure
@@Dame.1k na dude was a good person and died a sad death, undermining his actual greatness from some guy whose prolly never fought is just lame.
What an incredible story. I had seen many Kimbo videos back in the day and a few of his MMA fights, but not until now did I really know the backstory, or the tragic ending. At first I was in awe of his power and fierceness. After watching this, I'm in awe of his character.
Kimbo was and still is a perfect example of who a true inspiration. So many kids can look at his life and see how a real man should act and how to stand up to bullies and stand up for others instead of becoming a bully. I have talked to many people who met Kimbo and they said he was one of the nicest humble people they have met. RIP Kimbo
Oh sure, he was a regular Saint. And you know so many people that talked to him..bla blaaa
@kidjoe22 you gotta be one of the bullies he beat up 😂
@@hectoroviedo53 No I'm Seth Petrozelli. The lil white guy that knocked him out and beat him down in 10 seconds. Remember me?
@kidjoe22 nobody remembers you white boy
He was definitely scary to look at but had a sweet spirit and a caring heart. RIP Kimbo
The fuck he did! There wasn’t anything sweet about that man and he flopped in mma! No career to speak of!
No he didn't have
@@airkuna why you say that?
@@MatthewSparkman-bc9gq Because his little beta brain can't accept the fact that there are men out there ten times as dangerous but also ten times as generous aswell than you or me or him. Those two things have too much "social" value. So lesser men always find flaws in individuals like that. It's like when women shame other more beautiful women. For men, it's stuff like this.
@@MatthewSparkman-bc9gq Airkuna is most likely being disrespectful in a playful way saying that Kimbo didn't actually have a caring heart as mentioned.. Died at 42 due to heart complications.. ".. and a caring heart"..
RIP big man, never been forgotten! A real man with a wonderful heart and soul!🙏🏽
His heart wasn't that wonderful if you''ve seen the end of the video. It failed.
It thought you mean "ripped" big man for a sec 😢
@@elymihai8381 you must be a young asshole to say such a thing. As a biologist he didn't mean his literal heart which just like yours and mine could die at any day. But he fought with heart for his mother and family. Don't make such foolish comments boy.
Fact
Another person who died of heart issues in 2016 , the year our hearts moved much closer to center from the left side ... # mandela effect
What a tragedy! I love watching him fight! The best detailed store of his life I've seen. Thanks
He's probably 1 of my favorite fighters ever!! Much love brother...
Talk about hitting you right in the feels at the end. What a gentle giant he was. R.I.P and peace to his family.
the opposite of gentle, r e t a r d
Gentle? 😂
I think he meant that his soul was gentle?! Lol A lot of people say that he was a great guy and always willing to help others
@@tana5410 indeed. On the exterior I thought he was just another brute and a thug. I had no idea he was a genuine family man with a kind soul.
@@TorontoBoi he didn't have a kind soul, r e t a r d. nothing but a steroids cheater
Rest Easy King Kimbo. You’ll be remembered forever.
I vividly remember watching his early video's when I was young. That man was a mythical beast to me, a legend. I hope he will never be forgotten because he seems like a truly good man.
Literally fought his heart out. An amazing man. RIP Kimbo Slice!
Oh damn 💀Pun intended? RIP Kimbo
His heart exploded from roid abuse
Kevin was such a good guy
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

what's so amazing about his life? I'd respect him more if he cured cancer or invented something that helped humanity. All he did was punch people. That makes him amazing?
I watched this mans entire arc in live time... from the grainy internet videos to the prime time televisions fights and this little biopic or whatver it's called really showed me who he was... What an incredible story. RIP and best wishes to his whole family.

You mean "will never be forgotten"??
I'm sorry but saying "Will never go unforgotten" while you were trying to be nice and heartfelt was such an unintentional NUCLEAR diss😂 shits hilarious. Maybe what you were thinking of saying was "will never go unnoticed" but you could have said "will never be forgotten". Anyways yeah hope you don't take it the wrong way, it was just funny. Rest in peace to the big man🙌🏼
This was actually really eye opening. I wrongly had it in my head that he was just a thug from the street. Seeing him striving to do well in education, being made homeless and having strong morals alongside protecting people that needed it... Upped his skills and definitely deserves to be known as a Mixed Martial Artist. His family must be so proud of him.
Why would you think him to be a thug? 😢
@@phareel6929 back watching the videos years ago online there wasn't much about the man, it was more seeing him ready for war and then running through dudes. While me wrongly assuming anyone 'doing that' would be nothing more than an angry thug; which I think back then was probably the production angle they wanted. I remember him from TUF and seeing a different side of him but never to this extent. Looks can be deceiving and first impressions are often wrong and mine were way off with Kimbo. Clearly a great man, father, son, friend and anything else in between with no one having a bad word to say about him speaks volumes.

I can remember my first time watching kimbo on youtube, i myself was sm illiterate but i learned real quick how to navigate the web watching and keeping up with him. A true king a selfless man that couldve been a bully, but chose to stand up against them, a true legend any which way you see it💯💯💯💯
Rip big guy loved your fights this is great documentary about him made me cry very heart felt
The fact that his mom was standing with him in those street fights and cheering him on, absolute W mom
Fact
RIP Kimbo Slice. A fighter through and through, a father, a family man, a warrior that’s never going to be forgotten. Thank you for the years you fought, thank you for the inspiration to keep fighting whatever happens. 🕊️
ROIDS
he was just a bully
Do you think his children were planned? 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
@@kidjoe22 oh no!!
Anyways..
Beautiful documentary on a beautiful soul. We lost a great man and inspiration but heaven gained a new guardian angel. RIP Kimbo
Rest easy champ...as a 90s kid, you made me fall in love with MMA🎉
The fact that he came so late in the pro fighting and still make it, is very impressive. True definition of never giving hope.
Not late for MMA or Bare Knuckle maybe Boxing
They don't get fresh fighters?
They was to scared to get him while he was young . Would’ve took over
Yo, proofread yo shit before posting man
I miss this dude. I was a fan. RIP Big-boy. You left your mark. oNe LovE from NYC
This was very well done. thank you! went in expecting a cool compilation, ended up with an amazingly awesome documentary. RIP Kimbo.
I had no clue he passed away, dude was special, and after watching this learned his humble kind side, it’s very sad he’s gone. RIP Warrior!
His fights where fake and staged. Watch the fight with the “cop” without sound and carefully.
@@MADNESS084 get a grip. Have you ever fought competitively?
@@MADNESS084 did you see those mfs faces after his fights bruh? His fights were not fucking staged lmao
I just found out on this video as well
he die???
Having only seen his street fight footage before he was on TUF, I was really surprised by how humble, soft-spoken, and kind he seemed when he wasn't trying to take someone's head off. He made a career out of being a tough guy and an absolutely savage puncher, so being able to see the other side of his personality was really enlightening. It's cliche to say "don't judge a book by its cover" but despite his lack of success on TUF, he gained many fans from proving his character was vastly different than his intimidating exterior.
“ Intimidating exterior??”💀🤣
His 2nd fight was a dive
Most secure people are… the exterior was by design.
He was an intelligent and kind-hearted person. He went through some rough shit and empathized with the people struggling. He's terrifying in the ring, but he would've been a great friend.
Agree 100%
This brings tears to my eyes i love this man such a warrior 💯
I had no idea that this terrifying street-fighter legend was such a good guy, that he was such a success in MMA, and even that he passed away.
Thanks for making this film.
Kimbo, you’re a bad ass. RIP
I was a huge Kimbo fan. His passing shocked me because it came so suddenly. That man was a beast with his hands and someone I can say I could see me being friends with. A gentle giant. Straight warrior. Gotta respect it
Bring tears to my eye's...rest well my Caribbean brother 🤜🏾🤛🏾✊🏾🇧🇧
hard man
much respect
Rest in peace big man. As a fellow Bahamain I've followed from the backyard brawls to MMA and I'm sure i speak for many when I say you made us proud. 242 to the world! S.i.p.
He was the real deal! He was cheated by that cop fight
I remember following his fights and when I found out he made it to MMA I was seriously happy for him and his family. A warrior through and through.
Fact back when RUclips wasn't used as a business! Matter of fact they owe Kimbo and his family money for his videos from back in the day
Respect bro ❤ Bless your heart forever ♾️
RIP Sir. Your legacy is awesome. I will always be a fan. You are missed.
Need someone like him again man. Fighting bullies and aiming to do the right thing with his strength and power. His presence is so missed. Rest in peace😔
Big hearted guy that stood up for those weaker than he. RIP, you are missed Mr Kimbo.
Truly a Warrior, A competitor of the highest degree. Also A Great Human Being ! R.I.P. Big Slice !!!!!!⚔️
The fucking legend!! Growing up in the 2000s I was online watching all his fights
R.I.P 😢
Man.....I can't believe he passed. I was a computer aid in middle school and we would use proxy servers to get around school firewalls to be able to watch him at work. He was a legend against bullies
Kimo will forever be remembered for his dedication, passion, and skill in the ring. His unwavering spirit and relentless determination inspired countless fans worldwide. We honor his legacy as a true champion who touched hearts and left an indelible mark on the world of boxing. Rest in power, Kimbo.
but they just said he lacked skill...?
He had enough skill to get wins as we have seen but he lacks skills against an elite fighter he would still maul any regular guy that steps in front of him anyway R.I.P Kimbo slice
he sucked at fighting, r e t a r d
Most touching story in a while. Salute 🫡
He really defines gentle giant man, what a inspiration and a legendary fighter, RIP Kimbo Slice👊🏼🕊️
I GOT INTO MMA straight out the military cause of this man... KIMBO will forever be a Superhero in my book RIP. LEGEND
Imagine how far he could've gone if he was trained by pros from an early age and he didn't have a heart problem. RIP.
Heart problems and roids knocking off people early. What an iconic duo.
aren't athletes supposed to be rigorous on their health checks? I thought there was a rule for that, including doping@@bibsp3556
I LOVED watching kimbo,and i cryed when that big cop in the diving suit outlasted him in a fight.
That man was real steel🔥🔥
A nice guy who used his best asset to support his family. Never saw him ever go out of control or get pissed off with anyone. Just did his thing. RIP buddy and thanks for the memories
This hurts so much. I was a Kimbo fan. I wanted to see him succeed. It hurt when he passed. I love that he was a big, tough guy that stood up to bullies. We love you big dawg.
I am not crying! This was emotional
Kimbo is the number one street brawler in the U.S in my opinion..... He had a great heart too..... RIP Kimbo🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊
Actually he had an extremely BAD heart from the steroid abuse, which was sorta his fatal flaw.
@@maniacal1870 Kimbo Slice didn't use steroids.
His passing was a sad day for the world. I loved his fights on here and rooted for him even more when he went pro. He definitely left a legacy for us all to see that he was that kid you never knew was bullied but as time passed he turned the tables on them.
R.I.P KIMBO SLICE!
Well said, loved all his fights win or lose.
A true gentle giant and a hero for every small person who was ever bullied. Loved by all of us… rest in paradise brother.
What you mean hero for every small person the guy was a giant
one of he BEST documentries !
RIP Legend. This is the first time I learned this mans story. This is what Men are Made of. This is what the world is missing today, we are missing Warriors.
RIP Kimbo Slice, he was always enjoyable to watch. I remember seeing his street fights on youtube way back in the day, then got excited for him when he got into the UFC. I really feel for his family, it's too bad he had to pass away so young. He seemed like a really good dude.
Why did he die?
@@LiubaMiodrag 24:39
I had the pleasure of working with Kimbo on an ESPN commercial in the early 2000’s. In case anyone was wondering, he was one of the nicest celebrities I’ve ever met. He was gracious, kind, polite, and very engaging. He was humble and incredible hard working on set. He remains one of my favorite people I’ve ever worked with.
Also he wasn't ever a celebrity
@@snavisTM by the nature of the fact that I was working with him on an ESPN television commercial with Geddy Lee, and two other very prominent pro athletes, and he was making bank, yeah, he was a celebrity.
@@snavisTM Well ya know him, don't you?
@@snavisTM not high profile enough for you Jake Paul lover? 😄😆
@@MannyJazzcats what's funny is you know everything about Jake Paul and I know absolutely nothing. 😆
What a beautiful tribute. Rest in peace Kimbo
Every warrior has been through what made them a great warrior. It's not intimidation.. it's what's in your heart.
Damn, watching this gave me a whole new appreciation for Kimbo. Such a good down-to-earth dude. RIP Kimbo.
I watched him from his very first fight, until his very last. An absolute unit of a man that you'd expect to be a prick, a bully, or just a punk.
Couldn't be more wrong. A happy go lucky, uplifting and joyous man. He just liked to fight.
RIP big guy. You fought your heart out.
You were in kindergarten with him?
@@earldarnell5221 social media, champ.
Yeah I remember that day well😢 very sad day for Earth but knowing how kind this man was. It was a good day for heaven😢 rest well slice
This video was the best tribute I've seen done for anyone. Rip Kimbo
What a legend.
I remember watching him on RUclips and thinking *This is crazy.
Rest in peace Warrior.
Nowadays everyone makes it about themselves
This one got to me! Cryin' real tears right now. Rest in Power, Kimbo!
Hé is already gone for several years. You are not a fan otherwise you would have known. So stop your fake cry’s
😢 Made history! RIP Kimbo💪
What a great video. Truly did Kimbo's legacy justice here. Its sad when the inspirational ones with the biggest hearts are taken away early. RIP Kimbo
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

Beautiful video about Kimbo.
I grew up watching his back yard fights, and in my peak ufc interest he bloody entered the house! And he was just as humble and cool as you'd expect someone growing up the way he did.
He was a cool dude.
Seeing him go from his rough brawling style to pulling off picture perfect takedowns is just insane especially at the age he did it.
He had such an incredible journey although it was cut short.From the ghetto to the big screen.R.I.P KIMBO SLICE
and Kimbo cut it short himself.
I have a lot of respect for Kimbo, he took what life gave him and made a good life for himself, he provided for his mother, and even though he is gone, he is still remembered
I almost cried at the end. Respect Legend.
a man with heart as good as this guy deserves everything.
RIP Kimbo, you were behind in MMA from the get go but you gave it all your heart. What a great man.
R.I.P Kimbo. Never knew who you truly were but now I realize you were someone who lived your dreams no matter what brought you down or what was said. You'll never be forgotten. Thank you.
KIMBO a true Legend in every sense,a decent human being with heart of a LION that left us too soon, may you rest in peace and you’ll always be remembered
Absolute respect, God bless this fearless man 🙏
Dude lived more in 42 years than most will ever. Rip you Legend
kimbo slice is a legendary fighter. everyone in dublin had him as the ard ri of brawling, in my time. his reach, power and heart. he deserves all tributes
