He was a big name around 2005 in Pride.

I still remember that moment when he upset Mirko. One of the biggest upsets I'd seen up to that point in Pride.

Crazy. 44 yrs old. Rip indeed.

He was one of the baddest dudes in MMA back in the day. National Champion wrestler and true legend in the octagon. Very sad day.

I had the privilege of growing up playing sports with his son, and Kevin was one of the nicest guys you could ever know. RIP

He was a beast. I recall how hyped he would get where he would jump 3 feet in the air. Then the legendary suplex on the Russian dude.

Yup, he suplexed Fedor. Well he pretty much suplexed everyone he fought which was one of the highlights of his bouts. UFC will never top PRIDE.

Dude had that cartoon physique.

Don't mean to throw shade, but does anyone think his early death may have been related to decades of PED abuse?

Very possible. I mean look at his origins, they didn't really test anyone back then.

Indeed. Could have sworn he was suspended at least once for ped's later in his career. In any event, RIP. That Pride era was the ish.
