8 MMA Fighters Who Have Been Involved In The Adult Entertainment Industry
5. Kimbo Slice
The late great Kimbo Slice went from fighting in the streets of South Florida to becoming one of the sport's biggest stars in the late-2000s. The heavyweight slugger was a headliner during his stint with Elite XC and also had two (non-exhibition) bouts in the UFC against Houston Alexander and Matt Mitrione, respectively. He would finish his career as a member of the Bellator MMA roster.
While working as a bouncer at a local strip club, a friend offered Slice a job as a bodyguard (and driver) for RK Media (better known as Reality Kings), which he accepted. For those unfamiliar, Reality Kings is a Miami-based pornography production company.
While he never performed in any films (though he had a few background cameos), the former UFC star maintained a close relationship with RK Media even after becoming a star in his own right. In fact, Reality Kings' colleagues made up a portion of the fight entourage that accompanied him.
Sadly, Kimbo Slice passed away on 5 June 2016, due to heart failure.
