kimbo slice

Paul wanted to hear more about Kimbo Slice, who recently popped up on this list of best facial hair. Paul likes all of that fighting stuff you see.

So here's what I found out about Kimbo:

Kimbo Slice's real name is Kevin Ferguson and is 33 years old. Kimbo Slice is approximately 6'2 tall, and weighs 250 lbs although his weight varies between fights. Kimbo is always shown with a full beard and a clean-shaven head.

Kimbo Slice was a star defensive football player for Miami Palmetto High School in the Pinecrest area of Miami, Florida. In college, he went on to the University of Miami on academic scholarship, but did not play football. He was there for only a year and a half.

Kimbo Slice worked as a bodyguard for RK Netmedia, a Miami-based pornography production/promotion company responsible for number of popular adult subscription websites.

Kimbo Slice has a son called Kevlar and a daughter called Kevina.

Kimbo Slice was a Miami, Florida-based underground street fighter. The underground fight videos swept across the web making him an overnight sensation. The brutal knockouts, tough appearance of Kimbo, and catchy phrases increased his popularity.  Kimbo appeared in eight street fight videos, winning seven of them. His lone lost was to Boston police officer, Sean Gannon. The fight was marred with controversy because Kimbo's crew says Gannon broke the fight rule (see kimbo fight rules below). Many Kimbo critics state that Kimbo never fought anyone decent beside Gannon.

As mentioned above, Kimbo has his own fight rules:

Kimbo Slice Street Fight Rules:

1.This is not a mixed martial art or a street fight       

2.Only punching allowed (no elbows, knees, kicks, etc.)

3.Stand up fighting only       

4.No holding or grappling with opponent is allowed

5.If someone is knocked down he has thirty seconds to get up and continue fighting       

6.Ways to win are KO, thirty second count out, and if the other guy quits

So that's Kimbo, with the help of http://www.kimboslice.org/. Next week - Kendo Nagasaki.

KENDO !

Now THERE'S a man I could go to a garden party with.

I knew all that. And he does fight MMA now, and lost recently. But thanks anyway.

If I was a planner I'd write something pretentious about how important the internet has been to his career, and what that tells us about culture at the moment, but...err...

[Tom]

I really like his belly button.

[Ben]

I'm a designer and I say his chest hair looks a bit like an arrow.

[dan]

FedEx Slice?

[Ben]

Hmm, not bad but there's no K.

Maybe K-FedEx Slice?

[David]

His chest hair is officially known as the chest-hican.

I love the fact that his son is called Kevlar. Bet he'll grow up to be a two stone weakling though.

You know Evil Knievel's wife was called Sheila - and their daughter was called 'Weevil' ? And did you know that Gary Neville's COUSIN'S first name is 'Evil K' ?
And did you know that Wayne Hemmingway's dad is the legendary native American wrestler Billy Two Rivers ? And did you know that beetroot is dangerous ?
