Wanderlei mourns Kimbo's passing, admits memory loss, concussion symptoms

The news of Kimbo Slice’s sudden passing are still shocking the MMA world. As Wanderlei Silva recently wrote on his Instagram, he was still digesting Kevin Randleman’s death when he heard the news, which had him worried about fighter’s health.

Furthermore, Silva also wrote he has been experiencing some memory loss problems and feels like commissions and promotions should help fighters out more.

“Rest in peace. Man, first Randleman and now Kimbo, that’s scary. It’s coming earlier and earlier for my people. We don’t know yet all the consequences caused by our profession, or the consequences on your bodies and minds. It’s like I always tell my friends, forgetting things is actually good, because you forget the bad stuff, too. Jokes aside, I attended a lecture about concussions and I had 12 out of the 15 symptoms presented by the expert there."

"What can you do? This law that forbids fighters from using IV’s is a crime against fighter’s brains, because you lose water from your brain when you dehydrate, too. That greatly increases the chances of serious brain damage. I have a lot of friends who are different from before. They are getting kind of crazy. Who is going to look after us? Whoever didn’t save some money is going to face some hard times, because we never get any help. We are on our own.”
