Video: UFC delivers touching tribute to the late Kimbo Slice

During last night's broadcast of UFC Fight Night: MacDonald vs. Thompson, the UFC released a tribute video for the one and only Kimbo Slice, who died in a Florida hospital at just 42 years old after suffering from heart failure. Slice was scheduled to compete in against James Thompson at Bellator 158 on July 16th prior to his shocking passing.

Kimbo's time in the UFC was brief, but it was memorable and highly publicized. Following his loss to Seth Petruzelli in EliteXC, Kimbo (real name: Kevin Ferguson) signed on to become one of 16 heavyweights on season 10 of The Ultimate Fighter.
