Kimbo Slice

[Simon Kang]

Haven't shared these pics with anyone else other than my friends and family, but everyone seems to get a kick out of them, so thought I'd share with the 10th planet folks here.

About 4 years ago, I was helping my buddy out at a booth for an apparel show in Las Vegas. TAPOUT had a booth there and they had Kimbo Slice come in for an appearance to attract guests. There was a line forming to take pictures with him, so we figured we'd take a picture with him as well. I was watching all the people in front of me take boring/regular pictures with him and figured I'd change it up a bit for my picture once it was my turn. I asked him if he could put me in a Rear Naked Choke for the picture and he replied with a smile....You know I'm not gonna let go, right? There were about 100 people gathered around at the time, so I totally figured he was joking. He was not.....choked me out till I passed out. I even tapped out and he simply squeezed harder. Gonna upload the first pic, and if it works, will upload the rest in the following post (I'm not too good with the internets).

I didn't really 'let' him choke me out. I simply wanted him to have me in the choke to just POSE for the picture. I most definitely don't have the balls to let him choke me out if I thought he was being serious.

I'm surprised this didn't turn into a huge lawsuit. If what you say is true, you asked a professional fighter to put you in a choke that could potentially KILL YOU, simply for the pose and not to actually be choked. He then proceeded to sink the choke in on you, refused to let go (even after you'd tapped out) and allowed you to pass out while under his control.

You know, I read somewhere that the UFC doesn't even allow fighters to take pictures like that anymore because Matt Hughes did something similar when a fan asked, but he only posed and didn't actually choke the fan. However, the fan had photos and alleged that Matt had indeed choked him.

I honestly would never volunteer to be choked until I'm unconscious (now or ever), and I only asked to be in the RNC for the picture. He clamped down immediately after wrapping his arms around my neck and even in one of the pictures you can see my left hand near my chest (was reaching up to his arm to tap out). I even recall the people in the fairly large crowd watching this go down yelling "He's tapping out!" over and over. Next thing I know is it's lights out. My buddy told me I regained consciousness about 5 seconds afterwards, and the TAPOUT staff was trying to rush me out of their booth.
