Verily, the whip is ghost riding.



He's now punching transients in heavens parking lot now.

It was cool to watch him punched David Blaine in the gut that one time

Pretty tragic I know. But I get to see Kimbo brawl with Abe Lincoln in the after life. So please, don't mourn me.

Fuuuuuck man dude has six kids I believe. At least I'm sure their college is paid for by now.

For the casual fans or those late to the party, he was generally known as a very nice guy outside of the ring. If his knees weren't bone dust held together by taffy he might of done something more important than the Kimboplex.

Post a gif of it for me, I'm in hospital right now.

John McCarthy has seen drat near everything in MMA, I'm shocked he didn't just say "y'know what? I'm done." and retired right after that.

The beauty of DaDa 5000/Kimbo was that everyone knew that it was going to be either a disaster 3-round fight or have a hilarious finish, and it chose option C which was doing both in ways we couldn't even fathom.

During. Just halfway through round 2 threw his arms up and climbed out the cage and up the aisle without looking back.

rip kimbo you were a professional mma fighter for nine years and felt no need to learn how to do anything productive from mount or to train sufficient cardio to make it to round two of a three round fight

you gave hope to millions of weekend garbagemen that we too could fight against hobos for money

When McCarthy was asked on his podcast if it was the worst fight he's ever reffed, he said "not even close" since he'll ref for any Z-list local promotion and he's seen some terrible, terrible fights

Should have been more specific and asked if it was the worst televised fight he's ever reffed
