I really should have come up with something better before spending five bucks on this.

The Dregs posted:

UFC stood to gain a shitload more money from Slice winning than they did Petruzelli.

That wasn't UFC, that was Elite XC; they folded a couple weeks after Slice lost because he was their big name and he just had his rear end handed to him by a guy who was a last-second replacement. It didn't help in some video you can hear the head of Elite screaming at the ref to stand them up and Petruzelli said later he had been "encouraged" by the management to stand and trade with this guy instead of using takedowns; turns out that advice didn't save Slice either. Elite lost their TV deal shortly after and they were history.

RIP Elite XC-ending man.

If you don't get proper checkups you'll die of heart problems. Happened to Kimbo Slice and Randy Savage. Both likely had completely preventable deaths.

My favorite Kimbo story was the one where he had just started to train MMA. He was practicing jiu-jitsu for the first time and his practice partner was styling on him, submitting him and just making him look like a complete fool. Kimbo felt so disrespected that he then left the gym and went out to his car to get his gun. I forget his exact wording, but basically where he was from, you don't do that poo poo to another man unless you want to get shot.

One of my best memories of my drinking years is sitting at my buddy's apartment throwing back Negra Modelo in beer tasting glasses (we called it beer shots and we could kill a six pack in an hour doing this) and thumbing through channels on his ancient, tiny, tube tv in his kitchen. One day we stumbled on UFC, somehow, on some weird broadcast tv channel. We heard "Ken Shamrock v Kimbo Slice" and broke out the whiskey and settled in for a good fight. Then the little turd with the pink hair was announced and it was all "Oh poo poo that kid is gonna get slaughtered!"
Then karateman annihilated Kimbo and there was much hooting and hollering in that apartment. After the fight Kimbo said "We're all going to the same after party so it's all good!"

Truly a King of Fighters.

I take it you never saw Kimbo fight? He was far from "in shape" and would gas in the first round every time.

Big muscles require way more blood than normal sized toned muscles do, so the big muscly dudes end up gassing way faster than a leaner dude. Still some cardio trainining in addition to the weight training they do goes a long way in fixing that, and might make them less likely to die at 40 from heart problems

Even worse, dada was hospitalized after with 'severe fatigue, dehydration, and renal failure' and suffered cardiac arrest twice.

Big weight fluctuations are another great way to gently caress yourself up and fighters do it right before a match.

"Gassed in the first round" and "dead before 55" reminded me of The Ultimate Warrior's entrance. Sprints to the ring, shakes the ropes, stumbles around doing headlocks, dies during middle age.
