The tragic passing of mix martial artist, street fighter, boxer and UFC veteran Kimbo Slice rocked the MMA community earlier this week. After he was taken ill to the hospital in Florida, Slice (real name Kevin Ferguson) was unable to be revived.

Kimbo was just 42 years old at his time of passing, far too young for anyone to go. It came just days after boxing legend Muhammad Ali died aged 74, making 2016 a year to remember for all the wrong reasons.

Kimbo’s last opponent in mixed martial arts was Dada 5000. Kimbo defeated Dada by knockout in the third round of their Bellator 149 affair. The fight received quite a bit of criticism, and eerily Dada was taken to the hospital where his heart stopped after the loss.

Dada survived his brush with death, but unfortunately Kimbo suffered congestive heart failure. It was later revealed he needed a heart transplant. Dada 5000 sent out the following message via his Instagram:
