FIGHTLORE: Slice of Life - Legend of Kimbo Slice 

When I was 16 I found his managers contact info and emailed him explaining how I was a huge fan asking for an autograph and even wrote a comedy parody book report where Kimbo was the main character. Maybe two weeks to a month later, a large envelope came from a Miami P.O. Box with an 8 1/2 * 11 picture of him posing with his fists up autographed in gray sharpie. It just shows how much of a real dude he was to his fans, the postage was around 9 bucks.

Absolute credit to Kimbo's friend/manager for staying true to Kimbo and his son for no profit, that's a real one right there. R.i.p Slice💯

Listening to his mother, you can see where his strength and confidence came from. RIP Kimbo

He had a profound impact on kids who were bullied. You felt like he was fighting for you. Definitely inspired me to box. RIP King 🤲🏾

So sad watching his mom talk about him breaks my heart. No parent should ever bury their child. RIP Kimbo, you were a beast.

*"ITS NOT THAT IT WAS THE ENEMY. IT WAS THE INAMEE. THE INNER ME"* I'll never forget that quote. Rest easy big dawg 🙏

Man this dude was king of the Internet & every Highschool discussion in mid 2000's. Esp in SOuth Fl.

I was a youngster when I met Kimbo , he told me if life tries to kick your ass ..... punch it right in the face! ..... I'll never forget that or the look on his face .... he was very kind to his fans .... rip kimbo!

Crazy to think back to old RU-vid and street fight days and how influential Kimbo is/was. Those fights were amazing to watch for the first times all those years ago. Thank you Kimbo may you Rest In Peace you warrior.

So he died standing up. What a legend. I miss watching that guy. RIP Kimbo. You are missed

Mike and Kimbos friendship is so inspiring…. RIP to a legend

I remember seeing him fight on RU-vid when i was in 7th grade; i was enthralled. This big, vicious brute of a man. He was almost terrifying but so much fun to watch. I would literally watch his fights on RU-vid with my younger brother, just to crap ourselves watching how badly he would knock people out. So around 2011 i commented something on an MMA forum about how I didn't find him to be particularly skilled in mixed martial arts & didnt think he'd have too much success. Basically, the way i was saying it i was talking shit about him as a 19 almost 20 year old college kid. Kimbo Slice, HIS DAMN SELF, commented on what i said. "Its like a different sport than im used to but as long as God allows me, I'll get better. We're not the best yet but we're trying to be " Wrote it down and never forgot it.

The worst thing a parent could ever experience is the passing of their own child. Rest easy, Kimbo Slice, and blessings to the rest of his family and friends. Also, Mike is a dope ass human being.

It’s ironic how wholesome the man was. You’d expect him to be this hardened gangster who was cold blooded, ruthless…but from all accounts, it seems that Kevin was one of the nicest guys ever. And that makes me so incredibly happy.

I've never cried so hard watching something on screen. His son is seems amazing. Mike is an amazing human just like Kevin was. The mother is amazingly strong. The nasty rumors that went around in high school about his death, the things I believed as a kid back then, I'm disappointing in myself. Proud that they are all from my city. What a beautifully directed piece. Thank you Kevin Ferguson.

I was in the same school as Kimbo. One time a kid said to him 'you aint never gonna be 'nuttin', you aint shit', and Kimbo said 'Well, we can have it after school and I'mma show you!'... That night after school Kimbo beat up the kid with a single punch, then 3 other kids rushed him at the same time and he dropped each one. This comment will probably get lost in the sea of the comments here but yeah we knew in high school we aint gona mess with him after that.

“Well I say, the lord giveth and the lord taketh away. What can we do?” She said that with so much wisdom and stoicism. Hits you right in the chest. Kimbo used fighting as a way to enrich the lives of those he loved. Legend

I love Kimbo's mom! What a blessing, thank you for raising Kimbo and sharing him with the world 🙏🏼

RIP Kimbo 😞 Always loved never forgotten

Anybody can act tough but when someone is tough but is still kind and humble that's a true super hero. They can tear you in half but they would rather protect you and show you love. That's a great father, friend/brother, son....a great man.

Me and one of my buddies met Kimbo at a Belator event not too long before he passed away and he was nothing but respectful and friendly. He was as real a it gets and when I told him I was a Jr black belt in Tae Kwon Do his response was "oh so you're a kicker huh" and I said yes and he was like "I know for a fact you could out kick me" and I was maybe 140 pounds at the time and I couldn't believe how pure he was for a dude growing up brawling in the streets of miami. When he passed away I cried like a baby because of how friendly and just pure he was with me and my buddy, two random 20 year Olds. Rip Kimbo. Thank you for being the way you were. They say you had a large heart, and that's 100 percent the truth.

Im shocked that this hasn't blown up. The production is insane.

Mike is not just a manager he is THE manager a real man and most important a real family.

A warrior, a teacher , a father, but most of all a good man. RIP KIMBO

I remember being a kid on the EARLY days of youtube when you had to watch anime episodes 7-8 mins at a time. Watching those early Kimbo fights was the only entertainment we really had on this platform and it felt unreal. He was like a mythical Black Super Hero. Being a huge MMA fan, I was super excited to see a literal street fighter make the transition to MMA. In another universe I would have loved to have seen him in boxing which suited his strength better. RIP

This was a tear jerker, rest in peace slice i hope your in the halls of Valhalla amongst the great warriors

Kimbo is one of the main reasons I started training and working out at 20. Just knowing that a man beast like that existed was enough to get me in shape in case I ever ran into someone like him on the streets. Rest In Peace Kimbo Slice and thank you

"When a kid tells you something, you gotta listen." Respect to parents like her.

I remember being in the early years of high-school. When a new Kimbo video would drop we'd have like 20 kids all huddled around in the computer lab to watch it. Kimbo was like a super hero to us. Thanks for the memories ❤️

The best part of this story besides the part to where Kimbo made it to the UFC was the friendship part. Them 2 guys was much more then just best friends they were like family. That in itself was amazing story. Best of luck to you also baby-Slice

Mikes a good guy. You don’t find many genuine people like him anymore. Really enjoyed this video. Makes you sad, he left a legacy behind.

They did an amazing job gathering all these life members. Really appreciate how well presented.

I knew Masvidal was a street fighter, but never knew he was discovered by Kimbo, that's crazy.

I actually got emotional watching this, I never realized how much of a impact he had on me.

This is one documentary that can just make you teary-eyed. RIP Kimbo

It's amazing how much a fighter can inspire and motivate. RIP Kimbo Slice.

Rest well legend, i remember being a kid watching his fights, so much nostalgia. Thank you kimbo!

Man this hit me in my feelings. Rip kimbo 🥺

‘The inner me was the enemy’ That hit home deep for me personally 🥹

Mrs.Slice is a awesome lady you can tell how sweet she is , what a great momma!!! Hugs ,kisses and love Mrs Slice

I love that you can hear Mike yelling "FERGGGG" in his street fights because he was one of the old school friends who knew him way before the Kimbo days. i loved Kimbo, so sad he's gone. He truly was a legend.

You can tell Momma Slice is proud of her son and everything he was able to accomplish.

This is a man you can feel. In your heart. In your soul. A real man. A man aspiring men want to be like. That guy. That guy right there. That's the man. Why? I don't know there's just something about him. He's got that something. That something special. When God pours that special love on you everybody knows it. Everybody. Kimbo didn't die. Kimbo graduated life. Not many men do. Kimbo did. Kimbo is special in a special way. I'm actually crying right now because he has so much love. Ahhh man.... You are the man my man. You are the man!

Seemed like the coolest guy ever rip kimbo

I feel honored to have witnessed his life

KIMBO AND HIS FAMILY ARE SUCH GOOD PEOPLE.. The world misses Kimbo! Bless his friends and family. Thanks for the memories

Rip kimbo slice .. a true warrior with a heart of gold how a real man should be . God bless baby slice hope you have a amazing career

Wow, I just wanna give Ms. Clarke the biggest hug possible. Much love from Albany New York.

Rest in peace Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson 🕊🌹 I'm from the UK and loved watching those street fights as a kid, good luck to his son!

His mother is so proud of him. Truly a beautiful homage. Respect to his friend and manager for honoring his memory by standing by his son.

You see those big scary muscular dudes looking vicious and seeing videos like these you realize how he was not only the legendary street fighter but he was somebody's little boy, somebody's everything and the sunshine in their life. This video in the first 60 seconds made me tear up RIP king always will remember you and you're legendary fighting and insane charisma and good heart.

I really like this documentary. His mom is so proud

Have to say this is such a well made documentary and tribute to Kimbo's life and legacy. Very impressive.

Legendary human, larger than life. We were lucky to be around during his time, Rest In Peace Kimbo.

True legend. Gifted athlete and a man of integrity. He's in the same class as Roberto Clemente . And that's saying alot.

What a legend, one of the most recognizable fighters OAT

I mean whoever is the producer and people behind the scenes this is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen and this guy was just awesome we all seen him grow up late in his career and we all hated when he died. It's just amazing he's surrounded by family and friends while he was on his adventure I think that's the best part of all this.

As a struggling single father of three, trying to find where he belongs, stories like this are so inspiring. To be a true alpha, you must be tough enough to be a leader but gentile enough to empathize with the weak. R.I.P. Kimbo. You are an inspiration and a proper example of integrity.

I'm almost 43 years old. I've been a fan of Kimbo since circa the internet starting to even be a thing. That part where he said Kimbo said he was scared... ooof!!! Got me. Great doc!! Salute

I remember watching his fight videos on RU-vid as a teenager and thinking how bad ass he was and that he just looked absolutely terrifying. But then as he began to get some more mainstream popularity and we seen him in interviews and then on the ultimate fighter with the ufc we started to see and learn just what a humble a nice guy he really was. He seemed to be such an awesome and kind dude. We lost him way too soon.

Kimbo lifted his entire family up and left them set up to do better in the future... most... that should be the goal of everyone... especially a father... even a son wants to lift his family up.... so Kimbo can rest in peace, mission success 🙌

You can tell Mike truly loved Kimbo…..RIP.

Rest in peace Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson. Rest well legend.🙏❤️

I'm thankful I got to meet this man, and got a Signature from him. Much respect and love KIMBO SLICE

The Original Street Fighting Legend 👊🏾 Rest Easy Kimbo 🙏

This Documentary is well thought out and put together. Rest Easy Kimbo!

Beautiful man rest in peace kimbo

I was living in South Fl when Kimbo filmed that first backyard fight. The video went viral before viral was a thing. I knew then he was different. The fact that he wasnt just a warrior in the ring but actually a good dude literally just trying to fight for his life makes his story that much more compelling. Gone too soon. Long Live King Kimbo & salute to his manager Icey Mike

This hasn't gotten this views it deserves. The world is a darker place since he passed. RIP Kimbo. Love.

Isn't is crazy how the biggest, baddest, & toughest dudes out there almost always end up being gentle giants? R.I.P. Kimbo, you were a real one...

Rip Kimbo. I showed my dad his 1st ufc fight on TUF since they were both from Miami. They’re both gone now 😢 Memories

I miss Kimbo Slice. He was such a humble and kind person. Always cheered for him.

This man was 1 of the 1st RU-vid stars.... His fight videos are still legendary!! RIP

Long Live Kimbo ! Rest in Peace 💛

Now as I'm getting older - it feels really unique to see documentaries about some of the things I experienced (watched and enjoyed) while younger.

What a guy,fighter,person, legend

30min. documentary took me over an hour to watch because I kept rewinding and rewatching parts. Learned a lot more about Kimbo than I knew before. Very well done. His friend Mike is a hell of a good person and I love that he's still watching out for Kimbo's son. Hey momma, he kept that promise, he was famous!

I remember stumbling onto his early street fight videos from RU-vid when I was in college... as somebody who did a little fighting myself I was impressed. Its weird, the guys who are the most brutal in the ring are the most humble and kind outside of the ring.

Choking up watching this he was such a real person, down to earth and kind. RIP Kimbo Slice the King

True definition of fighting for what you want in life. Never gave up. Willing to change up the game plan. And stayed loyal. Street fighting icon. RIP Kimbo

I don’t care who you are, every human being facing death will say” I’m scared” rip Kimbo

One minute in and I already love his mom

I remember the excitement when he joined the UFC, it was back when there was still undiscovered talent or stories, and reminiscent of a time before people studied multi-disciplinary MMA from birth. So fun yet brutal to see this dude in action.

Kimbo first blew up online my senior year of high school, I remember binge watching all his fights on RU-vid at my best friend’s house, it’s crazy to see what he turned that into #RipKimbo

Couldn’t pick a greater man inside and outside the cage . He was a REAL FATHER

Kimbo was a gentle giant he was the kind of person you can go anywhere with cause he was that humble

beautiful story, beautiful mother, great son and great best friend and of course Kimbo we miss you

I remember growing up watching his fight on RU-vid... ever since I have always been a fan of his. Even though he maybe gone, he's never forgotten. Still one of my favorite fighters! RIP Kimbo Slice.

He knew he was dying... at that very moment... he wanted to stand and fight and die doing what he’s always done! I remember as a kid my dad showing me his fights on RU-vid! I stared watching mma a little before he got on the scene! Watched his whole mma career on ultimate fighter! To me he is a ultimate fighter! Love you Kembo!

He learned the lessons for his Soul & he went home ❤🙏

rip to such a legend grew up watching his street fights there will never be another kimbo

I miss him so much, back in the days when I was 15 I didn't even know who he was, where he came from or his name. But I knew his fights on RU-vid. I got hooked on him and he's the reason why I'm avidly watching Bellator/UFC. If Kimbo started younger in the Octagon and had training I can guarantee he would've been a champion without a doubt. One of the toughest dudes to ever do it R.I.P. Ferg! God bless you and your family.

Kimbo is like part of my childhood, he honestly seemed like a great guy. Its sad that he passed when he did.

This man was a beast. A humble animal

If you didnt shed a tear to this i dont know what to say. It had me in bits dads are so important. Rest in heaven to all the fallen. And may the creator look after these bodyless souls keep them safe and in peace waiting for their loved ones to join them. I don't have religion but i have faith. I just cant believe anything man writes like they have all the answers well you dont. The only ones that do are the ones that aint here anymore. Great video of a great man with a big heart.

Incredible story telling of an incredible man inside and outside of the octagon. RIP Kimbo Slice, Thank you for being a part of everyone’s lives

I remember a group of us in high school like 15 years ago gathered around a computer in class watching his fights just watching in awe how much power he had. Someone would accidentally yell "Oh Shit!" after a KO and the teacher makes us sit back down.😂 Kimbo, rest easy legend💪

Rip kimbo slice. You were an influence on my life as well as millions of others. Thank you

Fitting tribute to one hell of a great guy. Awesome job, UFC Fight Pass.

Lol never would have imagined the UFC showing footage of the street fighting of Kimbo and promoting it when Dana used to trash Kimbo and backyard brawling with a deep passion and hatred for it, but glad Kimbo was able to change Dana’s mind and prove to the world that he’s not what people thought of him judging by the cover. Kimbo is a legend and I wish he was still alive so he could beat the bricks out of Jake Paul cuz Kimbo had serious boxing skills and would destroy Jake Paul.
