Well waking up today, I noticed that there were a lot of posts going around the MMA forums saying that Leopoldo died of heart complications from a heart attack. This did not come as a huge surprise to me due to his past with performance enhancing drugs, and a destructive lifestyle.
Then later in the day, I saw posts that Leopoldo was actually still alive. At that point I was totally confused. Leopoldo's publicist and attorney confirmed that Leopoldo was alive, and so did Leopoldo himself at the Orange County Sheriff's department in a press conference putting an end to the rumors. So I must say this must be a weird experience for Kimo, I mean waking up and seeing everyone say you are dead, odd.
Kimo is a veteran in UFC, fighting at his first bout at UFC 3 against Royce Gracie. Not known for his training in MMA, but more as a brawler from off the streets. Not having a successful career he has fallen out of the spotlight as being a athlete, but getting more attention due to his drug habits, including his recent arrest for marijuana possession.
