More facts you may not know:
1) Under his beard is a tattoo of a map marking buried treasure.
2) He did make $3000 for his first fight, but was paid in Star"bucks".
3) He named his daughter, Kevina, not as an homage to his name but as a shout-out to his favorite 80's movie, "Just One of the Guys".
4) The greatest trick Kimbo has ever played was convincing the world he doesnt exist.
5) Doesnt eat anything but Mr. T cereal and aluminum cans.
6) Was going to punch Bo Cantrell is his other shoulder but thought that it would have killed him instantly.
7) Was originally a "fluffer" for the porn company but had to be re-assigned due to an unfortunate "dislocation" that rendered the male star in traction for 3 months.
8) Despite the fact that he's only beaten a has-been and a never-was, Kimbo is extremely popular and thinks P.T. Barnum is 100% correct; suckers are born every minute.
9) Has actually crapped thunder.
10) Wayne Huizenga kicks himself in the ass everyday for not signing Kimbo, because the Dolphins still suck and he would have been cheaper than Zach Thomas.

Kimbo got beat by Sean Gannon in one of his street fights, Gannon fought at UFC 55 and was destroyed by Brandon Lee Hinkle, mostly everyone knows this but its pretty funny

Kimbo would beat Sean Gannon's *** now. I don't like the guys fans at all and I hop e he gets viciously knocked out but he has a lot more skills now and is in a lot better shape.

Also, quite interesting that he went to school on an academic scholarship, being a street fighter you wouldn't think he'd be a bright one but apparently he is pretty sharp when he wants to be.

He was smart enough to take a 6 figure deal and fight a couple of cans.. even if he loses his next fight he is still oing to be the one laughing on the way to the bank.
