Sad sad day.

41 is too young for anyone in this day and age, and he will be remembered.

[Kraysla]

Damn, that's rough. Sad news indeed.

 

[Hardkore]

Anyone know if Enson Enoue squashed the beef he had with Kid before he passed?

 

[Langinbang187]

What the fuck? I'm creeping his Instagram and he looked better and healthier than 90% of people of any age just a mere 2-3 months ago.

Now he's dead from cancer? Jesus Christ.

R.I.P life is fucked up.

I didnt even know he was sick. Kid was one of my favorite fighters of all time.

This is very sad news.

 

[Kinger85]

Fuck cancer.

Sad to hear this. He was an amazing and exciting fighter. A pioneer for the smaller guys.

Anyone know if Enson Enoue squashed the beef he had with Kid before he passed?

For what it's worth, I found out about Kid's passing on Enson's Facebook m

Damn...

I've never understood how anyone could get so upset after a celeb dies, until now. This one legit bums me the fuck out. He was the one who expanded my interest into Japanese MMA in the early 2000s. Before him, I only ever followed regular K1 and PRIDE events. Not sure newer fans today will ever understand the impact he had one the sport.

The MMA world will hurt from this one for a while.

RIP
