Kimbo will fuck you up.

The King of the Web Brawlers

Right now the undisputed online king of the underground bare-knuckle world is a fearsome thirty-year-old man who goes by the name of Kimbo. He works in his hometown of Miami as the muscle for an online porn empire that includes the Web site MILF Hunter. Kimbo tells Rolling Stone that he has fought in more underground bouts than he can count. "I enjoy doing what I do—I love exchanging blows," he says. "The fame, that just comes with the territory.

"A fight starts by word of mouth," Kimbo continues. "A guy is a badass in his neighborhood, and then people that know people make it happen. It's braggin' rights." In one of his videos, Kimbo turns his opponent's right eye into a purple-and-white mass with a single punch, ending the bout.

Kimbo's lone defeat was to Sean "the Cannon" Gannon, a 265-pound Boston cop. That fight is a ten-minute marathon of pain. "I wish we could get in contact with Gannon's ass and set that up again," Kimbo says, adding that police ignore the events. "They respect it. You got two guys willing to represent—and do what they love to do. It's reality and it's entertainment."
