Jorge Masvadal Shares Why Kimbo Slice Was The Scariest Man On Earth…

So how was that bro? Because I you know back in the day Kimbo used to throw his birthday party at Iguana. Shout out Iguana's. I used to go to the party. They used to have like boxing matches out there. So I met him there but I never got a chance to hang out with him kicking with Kimbo. Like how was that? Like how was the legend Kimbo Slice as a person outside of boxing? The most humble dude I ever met. Because if you just seen him on the videos on YouTube you'd be like this dude's a literal animal. Why even hang out with this dude? But if you got to meet him it's just a complete different person. And I saw this over and over. Like I said he was a rock star since since I could remember. We'd go to like a restaurant and it it would be like until the tension was broken. Everybody's staring like we're talking like that. And I could feel the tension. I could see it. And as soon as somebody would be brave enough because you would like people were like can I get a picture? And he'd turn around and like legitimately share like two, three, four, five minutes with this person. And then with everybody in the restaurant. He was humble as possible. And I've seen this numerous times. Just him be cool as hell. Then I also seen him in the gym get whooped you know because he started coming up later in the game when he got into MMA. He was an older man. These guys are doing this in seven, eight years old wrestling and stuff you know. And with the hands and stuff and everything Kimbo was beyond gifted. But he needed to work like on the ground and stuff. So he was going against like animals have been doing that since seven, eight years old. And he'd take a whooping and come back the next day and just give it again and get better at it. Though he was older though he was he was coming into the UFC. There was a complete different thing than bare knuckle fighting. It was amazing to see how humble he was through the whole process. Like my journey ain't done. I'm gonna do some big things. I'm gonna learn this. I'm gonna figure it out. I'm gonna go to UFC and kick some ass. And he did it so the one thing that always comes to my mind though it seems like the one thing you wouldn't think is just humble. How humble this dude does. And that also like always like seeped onto me. And also what he did for me in my journey by opening up his platform that I could fight in his league. Now some 20 something years later I got my own league guys. Get all my shine. Take it and run with it and do the thing you know. And that's what happened with Kimbo. He did that for ever great. Now I gotta I gotta say this and because I see Mike as well his manager another legend in the game. So I've met a couple of these guys through Mike. Mike's heavy in the MMA and I was able to get into it a little bit. But I've met you know some of the guys you can name some of the guys he knows. Robbie Lawler. Absolute legend. You know I know me and Robbie trained together for I don't know maybe like 10, 11 camps together side by side. We were both at American Top Team. But we used to beat the crap out of each other like Monday through Friday you know. So Robbie's like a great dude. Robbie's probably part of the best fight I've ever seen in my life. With Rory Nelson. I was there. Yes. You were there? I was there too. I was there. That was a great fight. I was there. His lip was cut in half. That was a Vegas one right? Yeah it was a Vegas. Chris Weidman. I was there. I didn't go to that one. Vader, Weidman all those guys. I'm attending. When he fought Anderson Silva. When he broke Chris Weidman for that one. Yeah I was I got a chance to meet Rumble. What I will say about you guys outside of the ring. Some of the most nice respectful guys. Now don't play with these at home. Don't play with these folks. I'm telling you because they're respectful. They'll take their kindness for a weakness. But some of the most nice respectful laid back chill dudes. Like remember we had we had something at my house in like it was like 10 MMA guys in my in my club room. We watching the fight. You know we got that I remember that night. She was like them dudes MMA fighters. I was like yeah don't get it twisted. Don't get it twisted. I know they was calm and quiet and humble but they don't play no games. But outside of the ring when you guys able to flick that switch and turn it on and off. You guys are some of the coolest dudes that ever want to be around. But that switch is dangerous. Talk about that switch that y'all got. Yeah because outside of the ring you were telling us a story outside of the ring. Somebody played with the wrong person. Got their ass handed to them. It happens you know. Like and I think it's just not just for a fighter but just like human beings is in us you know. And all of us have I hate using this word but I guess like red flags or pet peeves you know. Mine is like you'll activate you know the next level state of the art defenses if like you get in personal space where now I'm like well you could strike me. Yes. And I don't want to play guessing game. Are you going to pull out a knife? Are you going to pull out a gun? Are you going to punch me? And I don't want to do those things. So I those are things that you know you just like don't do you know. And me I don't do it to anybody. If it's a janitor that's six years old I won't invade his space. I won't. I'll talk to him from a distance even if there's some type of problem but I won't. There's certain things I just won't do to another man. I don't care who that man is because if I do those things I got to be ready for what's coming. Yes I agree. So he knows all about that. He's from South Dakota. Yeah he know all about it. He know all about somebody having a knife and being in your personal space. It happens all the time where he from.
