Remember that time when Kimbo fought a dude and the dude basically died in the octagon and then Kimbo died? Jesus. People paid to see a double murder.

[The Sandmen]

That dude was called Dada 5000 - as if that was not enough reason to know you were not seeing something that should happen. That's up there with the worst fights I have ever seen. I did not feel either fighter was safe after the first minute. So scary.

[The Rocketmen]

you were right and its sad
