Wait, Now Kimo Leopoldo Isn't Dead?
('Reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated, you pussies.')
The bad news is, we've been duped. The good news is, we can now resume making insensitive jokes about Kimo Leopoldo. Yes, it turns out that Kimo isn't really dead after all, or at the very least has been resurrected to walk the earth as some kind of terrifying zombie. Despite premature eulogies from the New York Daily News, the Orange County Register, and us, among many others, Leopoldo is said to be alive and reasonably well, though that's about as much information as anyone seems to have or need about him and his current whereabouts.
The whole thing is being chalked up to an internet prank spun out of control, which will probably prompt some hollow discussion on the nature and reliability of new media before we all move on the next nipple slip video, but in the meantime, imagine what Kimo must be feeling right now.
For a few hours even portions of the world that never knew or cared that he existed turned their eyes toward him, if only to capitalize on the search engine value of a headline featuring some combination of the words "UFC fighter" and "dead." Now that they know he's still alive they'll go back to ignoring him, and he'll have to reconcile himself with the strange feeling of finding out what people would have said about him if he had died today.
Considering how often drugs and his recent arrest were mentioned in all the stories floating around the internet this afternoon, it's probably not going to result in any kind of happy epiphany. Regardless, welcome back to the world of the living, Kimo. Ain't it something?

That's funny. I bet he will get a kick out of seeing what people thought about him being dead. Might just get him to straighten up a little.

He's Death's meth dealer...he has a deal worked out with him.
ktfo Says:
kimo put this story out there himself to get his name out there for a day. tomarrow everyone will forget and he will be back to getting spun all day.
Goog Says:
Let me guess... he wants a shot at Brock Lesnar and knows how to beat him.
Lysol Says:
^^HAHA!
Anyone want to bet that this was meant to make Kimo relevant again in time for a December DREAM event?
Jeepman Says:
how do I take my R.I.P. back from earlier? is that even possible?
BackbaconBilly Says:
fuck off hal you dick toucher! don't blame us for falling for it blame the sources who reported it ( including CP ) I am glad the guy isn't dead.
Bovice Says:
Crystal meth is a hell of a drug.
sPeLLcHeCkEr Says:
This kind of pub could at least put him next in line for Fedor fodder... Someone call Atencio.
@HAL: your English is "PITTYFULL".
@Andrioddrew: Please refer to Horror Fighter for a how-to on "originality within Jeebus-joking" and "real humor".
sPeLLcHeCkEr Says:
Oh, and I almost missed "YOR FACE".
But nope.
ItburnswhenIpee Says:
C'mon CP, stick to verifiable facts...
Brock Lesnar has no class (hence, the penis on his chest)
Georges St. Pierre is the shit (obvious, since he's Canadian)
HAL_13 is a twerp
Fedor is God
GetUpAndKill Says:
Why do I have a feeling the Church of Scientology is behind this?
...reaches for shotgun
Bovice Says:
@sPeLLcHeCkEr
I thought it was ironic how your screen name is sPeLLcHeCkEr, yet you spelled Androiddrew's SN wrong. Haha
Androiddrew Says:
Yeah. Ha Ha, you misspelling jackhole
Fight Fan Says:
I used to think the CP guys were pretty sharp. But after reading their interpretation of Colbert's take on MMA, and their fail on the Kimo posts, I'm starting to wonder.
RLL Says:
No reports here yet on the Fedor/Barnett fight being off... I guess they're worried it's another fake story until confirmed.
MMAMoneyLine Says:
People who spread this stuff should be ashamed of themselves. God forbid anyone in his family goes on MMA blogs.
tallkitchenbags Says:
god forbid anyone believe in leprechauns and monsters and jebus.
tallkitchenbags Says:
also, something tells me Kimo's family knows he's a douche on the margins.
sPeLLcHeCkEr Says:
@Bovice: Sheeeeit LOL... duly noted. I figured it'd be inevitable. Props dude, I tip my hat.
