Really enjoying listening to all the podcasts (MMA, etc) and them talking about Ali's impact on society, culture & combat sports. And of course all the feedback on BGOL, various sites, etc.
Bas Rutten & Mauro Ranallo pay tribute to two great men the MMA world recently lost in this special episode. Mike Imber, lifelong friend and career manager of Kimbo Slice, joins us to honor the man he considers his brother. We remember Kevin Ferguson - the husband, the father, the best friend. We discuss Kimbo’s career as an MMA fighter, from backyards brawls to the UFC, and hear memories about the man that Mike managed, Bas trained, and Mauro called fights. Steve Farhood returns to discuss the passing of boxing legend Muhammad Ali. Steve tells the story of an American protagonist who gained the admiration, respect and sympathy of the entire world. We remember Ali, the flawed human being who ultimately came to represent religious tolerance, love and peace.
Man, Muhammad Ali was one of my heroes in life. I could only aspire towards the kind of conviction, heart and truthfulness that this man embodied. RIP you legend among men.
