Michael Jai White remembers Kimbo Slice: 'I can't imagine anybody meeting that guy and not liking him'

The lifelong martial artist, director, and star of "Never Back Down: No Surrender," remembers the late Kimbo Slice.

The mixed martial arts (MMA) community lost one of its own on Monday night (June 6, 2016) when Kimbo Slice, real name Kevin Ferguson, passed away while awaiting a heart transplant after being diagnosed with congestive heart failure a few days prior.

Slice, 42, rose to prominence from the neighborhood of Perrine, Florida, after his street fights began showing on YouTube. Soon after, the internet sensation got a chance in the cage for Cage Fury Fighting Championships (CFFC).
