Kimbo Slice is one of the first YouTube celebrities. He was the first person I ever sat down in front of the computer and typed his name into the YouTube search bar. His fights were all over the internet, fights in backyards, and he suddenly... became a celebrity of this magnitude.

Kimbo Slice worked in Miami as security for a film company making porn films. They decided to film his fights and post them on YouTube. He became one of the first celebrities YouTube, and later this led him to UFC. The biopic will depict his personal life, including the times when he had to live in his car.

    Kimbo is a street fighter, he is not a fighter.

    Kimbo is a talent. What difference does it make what technique he has? she acts, he behaves well in a fight.

    Exactly.
    I don't understand why some people praise him.
    No good as a fighter - no technique, no physical skill.
    Typical mediocrity, and for MMA at the UFC level this is generally the bottom.
