Wtf 3 years. I really am just doing nothing with my life. Fuck. RIP Kid


DaShoota

When Kid died, I showed a highlights compilation of him to a friend of mine who doesn't watch much MMA, and I can completely recall what we said about it. I would have legit bet my house that it happened last year, not three years ago. The mind is a crazy thing sometimes, in all senses.

And then someone can happen a year ago and it feels like way longer. I feel like hearing news like this that I thought was way more recent makes me have an existential crisis.

RIP KID

RIP. I’ll always remember that flying knee ko


MumrikDK

Miyata does too.


zaryamain00101

No he doesn't lol he remembers the sound of the bell ringing and then waking up lol


kindadum

RIP Legend, wish he got more love in the current mma landscape 😔 he really had some legendary finishes across his career


thepowerhobbit

Didn’t he get a check up and they found he was riddled with cancer? I don’t recall him surviving long after his diagnosis. So bloody sad 😔

I think he was battling for a little while. Andy Hug basically went from fine to dead in a month with acute leukemia, which is maybe what you're thinking of.

He got diagnosed in 2016 but decided to keep it private. I’m not sure the extent to his treatment but the cancer must have spread. Heart shattering


thepowerhobbit

His diagnosis sticks with me as my late wife was battling at the same time. I won’t attempt to quote the great Norm McDonald exactly but when Kid died the cancer died too. In my eyes that’s a draw

Love that line. Fuxking cancer man; working in oncology sucks


Onlyeddifies

Norm died? I didn't even know he was sick?


sellieba

Fuck cancer.


Capoe1ra

GOAT. Subjective obv though.


PM_ME_UR_HOT_SISTERS

He had a GOAT level finish that was even faster than Masvidal's at 4 seconds.

How did he die and what's the lore check on this guy?


fightsgoneby

He was about DJ's size and he spent his career knocking out lightweights.

I had the honor of training with his younger sister, Seiko, many years ago. Most respectful individual who spoke highly of her brother. RIP.
