Kimbo Slice has made a living challenging some big punks on the street and posting the videos of his fights at YouTube. Because of that, he became an internet sensation and a household name.
So when he decided to become a professional mixed-martial arts fighter, his matches were all anticipated by millions. He won his fist three matches and his third one against James Thompson at EliteXC: Primetime on May 31, 2008 set the record for the the most-watched MMA fight in American history with more than 7 million viewers.
He is fast becoming the MMA poster boy that promoters all envisioned him to be.
