UFC Fighter Kim ‘Kimo’ Leopoldo Dead At 41
Former UFC fighter Kim “Kimo” Leopoldo is reportedly dead from complications from a heart attack. Kimo Leopoldo was 41 years old. The UFC legend, whose last fight was in October 2006, had a history of drug abuse throughout his career and had been arrested for domestic violence, assault and battery.
UPDATE (CORRECTION): It appears reports of Leopoldo’s death are exaggerated and news to him:
“According to the media, you’re dead,” his manager, Ron Kort, recalled telling Leopoldo, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The very much alive Leopoldo checked the Internet and learned of his reported demise.
“When I saw the sites, it scared me,” Leopoldo said, according to the Times. “I wondered, are they predicting the future or am I cursed?”
That’s right, Leopoldo is alive and kicking, although he was sentenced to 10 days of community service for pot possession.
