Not the most reputable site.

UFC veteran Kimo Leopoldo is reported to have died from complications from a heart attack at the age of 41.

Leopoldo, often known only as Kimo, made his MMA debut at UFC 3 in 1994 then spent 12 years professionally fighting in the sport until retiring after Extreme Wars 5-Battlegrounds in 2006. In recent years Kimo battled drugs, having tested positive for anabolic steroids at the end of his career, and later being charge for possession of marijuana

Kimo’s fighting style was described as freestyle, with a mixture of striking and grappling techniques. He was also well known for his Christian beliefs and sported many religious tattoos.

The news of Kimo Leopoldo’s death is being reported on several MMA sites and forums, however not by major outlets so other details at this stage are unknown. More when we have it.

Could be true, but I have yet to see it on any other MMA sites.

Again, not reputable at all, but apparently this story originated from a message board and a bunch of people are calling it a troll job. No confirmation from reputable sources would seem to support that.

Who knows though.

There still a few mixed "reports". Some boards saying its not true, some saying they've seen it on "main stream sites". I've yet to see anything official.

Either way its terrible.

Good. The way it was worded and copied about, it seemed pretty fishy.
