Don't know how reliable this source is.


UFC veteran Kimo Leopoldo dead aged 41




UFC veteran Kimo Leopoldo is reported to have died from complications from a heart attack at the age of 41.

Leopoldo, often known only as Kimo, made his MMA debut at UFC 3 in 1994 then spent 12 years professionally fighting in the sport until retiring after Extreme Wars 5-Battlegrounds in 2006. In recent years Kimo battled drugs, having tested positive for anabolic steroids at the end of his career, and later being charge for possession of marijuana

Kimo’s fighting style was described as freestyle, with a mixture of striking and grappling techniques. He was also well known for his Christian beliefs and sported many religious tattoos.

The news of Kimo Leopoldo’s death is being reported on several MMA sites and forums, however not by major outlets so other details at this stage are unknown. More when we have it.

Yet more proof that cocaine and steroids do not mix well. Kinda like beer and sushi.

You'd think people would already know this.

So, I notice that the number of guests here shoots way up whenever there's an mma death (thankfully, few so far). Does this creep anybody else out? Anyone else feel a bit "harbinger of death"-ish or something like?

Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports is reporting that Kimo Leopoldo is alive, contrary to other reports.

Iole mentioned in his report and via his Twitter that he spoke to Kimo's attorney who confirmed to him that he has surfaced and that his publicist informed him that when Kimo woke up, he became aware of his supposed death.

More details to follow.
