Apparently he had a heart attack in Florida and couldn't be revived.
Got damn, RIP Kimbo. Always been a guilty pleasure of mine, repped a Kimbo shirt back in Middle school when he was just a backyard brawler.
was able to find this, even tho he lost was a great experience.

Damn that sad to hear
Really sad news, especially to go so young.
It's so scary to think Dada 5000 could've died during or shortly after their fight, and then Kimbo dies a few months after. Makes you wonder what kind of medical screening Belator are doing these days.
Fair play to Kimbo, he drew big TV ratings, had great charisma and brought a lot of casual fans to the sport. While not the most skilled fighter, or the best conditioned, he had his gimmick and it worked and made him a lot of money.
Also outside the cage I've heard nothing but good things about him being a really nice, friendly and down to earth guy. All of the fighters who knew him or trained with him said he was a really good guy.
Damn shame.
