I know I’m not the only one that gets to missing Kimbo and comes to watch some old fights!! R.I.P. legend 💯

[DubcityEd]

You could just see it in his eyes he was proud to be there. From being homeless to being the main event of the 2 biggest MMA companies at the time. Kimbo was really a redemption story. RIP LEGEND

[cergiecergnul]

Kimbo didn’t get enough life. We didn’t get enough Kimbo

[sirtoneyd]

From a homeless street guy living out of a Nissan to a street fighter who made it to the grand stage you did it kimbo! Became a living legend. Mark left, salute 👏

[domeland]

“Get your hand off my face. No more. Your ears fucking falling off” 😂

[deadguysuperstar]

42 is too young to go. He was still in his prime. RIP Kimbo

[mojommmm]

ref saw his eyes roll back in his skull right before he called it, honestly i was ready to save this man from unnecessary brain damage too

[YouJustKnowIAmRight]

The ear was so badly injured it made Mike Tyson lick his lips.

[Thor-Orion]

“That alien life form that use to be Thompson’s left ear…” wow, that’s quite the line.

[macmicky]

the fact james thompson took all those punches and never went down is incredible

[SamuelOdukoyaBiggie-jylg]

Fact:kimbo already had heart issues by the time he had this fight, The guy was so strong, May his soul rest in peace, Legend

[Blackbelt_]

That was not a bad stoppage he was seconds from another concussion

[thewashingtonfaithful]

Idk why man but when kimbo made it it felt like we all made it. Rip to a legend 🙏

[rajkc]

Never saw Kimbo backing down from anything or anyone. Man was natural fighter. Respect!

[remmie]

Kimbo, one of the few with the natural charm of being a bad ass

[SayCheeseAndDie]

Guy couldn’t have had his ear drained before the biggest match of his whole career 😂

[bigboydownstairs]

I mean his eyes were rolled in the back of his head and his ears exploded i don't think it was a bad stoppage. 😂

[salamanderz]

So glad this man got to experience success before he sadly left us 😢RIP SLICE 🙏🏼

[charlieredeemed]

Rest easy, Kimbo! Still here in our memories🫡👍🏼

[soulsurfer]

Jeez, can we acknowledge the fact that Kimbo started as a backyard brawler, and transformed himself to a legitimate mma fighter! Never thought I would see the day when Kimbo is effectively using BJJ and wrestling
