Ex street fighter turned MMA battler Kimbo Slice died suddenly aged 42.

Not content with musicians dying, this year has now turned to sportsmen

I preferred the back yard fighting where he made his name and became an Internet sensation to the later MMA bouts. Unforgettable character, my thoughts are with his family

Sad but he was a freak show in mma. Juiced up and no skill. Heart attack I'd guess

Very sad and a timely reminder I would imagine of the dangers of steroid usage

Talked openly about his steroid use before he fought ken shamrock. Said they were both juice so what's the big deal?

I saw the headline and I thought it had something to do with Mr Kipling.

I didn't know who he was but that's far too young to die.

I feel the same way, I don't know why it's classed as sport.

"He was a big lad"

He was a big lad because he was pumped full of steroids - which is the same reason his heart has been in so much trouble for the past 8 years.

He was told to stop taking them but he wouldn't so he eventually died of heart failure.

Freak show fights like that happen more in the lesser organisations like bellator. They don't represent the sport

2 guys killed at TT this week. I don't call that a sport but each to their own

It must have been one of those super special supercharged steroid filled candles then!

Bang on - the fool was told years ago to wind it back and start living clean but he wouldn't and ended up dying as a result.

Poor judgement - simple as that.

By nearly all accounts his heart went off like a firework because he was so thick he wouldn't listen to the doctors telling him to stop taking the steroids - he was an idiot.

he just sounds like a violent junkie from what i'm reading. what sort of people think watching gonzo footage of thugs beating each other up in back alleys is entertainment? clearly no moral compass whatsoever .... and why are violent junkies news-worthy all of a sudden anyway?

To some he and people like him are for some reason worthy of being looked up to - to me they are literally the disrespectful cheating scumbags that they are and that are not even deserving of the false respect most people recieve when they die simply because they have died.
