About Kimbo Slice

Kevin Ferguson (born on February 8, 1974), better known as Kimbo Slice, is a Miami, Florida-based street fighter turned mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter. He first appeared in several filmed underground fights which have spread primarily on the Internet. Kimbo has since left street fighting behind and is now putting his efforts towards becoming a professional mixed martial arts fighter. Rolling Stone called Slice "The King of the Web Brawlers".

Ferguson 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.

As Kimbo Slice, Ferguson worked as a bodyguard for RK Netmedia (otherwise known as RealityKings), a Miami-based pornography production/promotion company responsible for a number of popular adult subscription websites, such as MILF Hunter, and Money Talks. The latter site made YouTube friendly videos of Kimbo giving people charlie horses and tackling them at full speed in exchange for money. . Kimbo still maintains close ties with the company who now accompanies him, as his fight entourage before entering the ring. In fact, his manager, known only as IceyMike, works for free for Kimbo. IceyMike can be heard (off camera) in almost every Kimbo-related YouTube video and many Reality Kings videos.
