Wanderlei Silva pays tribute to Kimbo Slice, sheds light on brain trauma

Tragic news surfaced earlier this week that YouTube star and MMA fighter Kimbo Slice had passed away from heart failure in Florida. Unbeknownst to the MMA community, Slice had been hospitalized since June 3rd, at which point he learned that he had a mass on his liver, and would need a heart transplant.

Since his passing, numerous MMA fighters, including Dada5000, have paid tribute to Slice on social media. Now, fellow Bellator MMA fighter Wanderlei Silva had paid tribute to Slice via Instagram, along with a message about brain damage:
