When they had all those MVPs from the super bowls come out they all looked very pained to walk out

"MMA should be banned."

Yeah, and so should people who don't believe in global warming, right? It is still a free country. When we start outlawing sports because they offend us we become the libturds.

So he had a mass on his liver and needed a heart transplant (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/fl-kimbo-slice-update-0608-20160607-story.html). Zach Light, former Bellator matchmaker, is suing Bellator and one of his causes of action is that Bellator falsifies fighters medical records.

Given this info, it is highly probable that Kimbo had a bad heart going into his fight with Dada 5000, which means that the fight should have never happened. Also, what if Kimbo did not have the heart attack when he did? What if he fought Thompson as scheduled and died in the ring?

My mistake it, it was Dada.

Slice didn’t look too good afterwards either though.

See post 66, sounds like Slice shouldn’t have been cleared to fight in a million years, wow.

No, he shouldn’t have, and he it looks like he was about to be cleared to fight again.

This guy had no business in the cage, they wanted him there for ratings and money, and it’s probably just a bit of dumb luck that he dead keel over on TV, which would have been not so great for the sport, I imagine.

Slice (5-2) was scheduled to fight James Thompson at Bellator 158 on July 16 in London, but according to Mike Brown, his head coach at American Top Team, Slice had intended to withdraw from the event
