Late last night (Mon., June 6, 2016), news broke that bareknuckle street brawler-turned professional mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter and boxer, Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson, died unexpectedly in South Florida at the age of 42. The exact cause of death is unknown at this time.
Social media was immediately flooded with support for Slice, 42, and his family, with promoters, fighters, friends, fans and just about everyone else coming out of the woodwork to share their respect and personal thoughts -- and even moments -- with the "larger than life" personality.
In addition to Bellator MMA, where Slice competed twice (1-01) and was currently under contract, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) issued its condolences on his untimely passing.
