That sucks. Didn't even know he was sick. Hope he had a chance to say goodbye to his loved ones. RIP.

 

[Muay Thai #1]

He was so dominant back in the day. Wish we could have seen him in the UFC at his peak

 

[Natty Dread]

Genuinely upsetting. Tragic for his family. RIP legend. You wont be forgotten.

 

[Sarutobi]

Damn. That's sad news.
RIP Kid Yamamoto

This hit me like a fucking brick this morning.

RIP Kid.

One of the true greats.

Sad news. Was as talented as they came.

 

[bigmacwitcheese]

This one hurts. RIP to one of my all time favourites. Condolences to his family

 

[dawnignited]

Damn, that progressed so fast, too. I can only hope one day we're fortunate enough to live in a world where our medicine is advanced enough to make cancer a thing of the past.

RIP, Kid. Would have loved to see you in the UFC while you were in your prime.

 

[Kingz]

Wow. I think it was literally last week that I heard he had cancer. I’m guessing he was in the deep stages already.

RIP Kid. One of the true pioneers of the FW and BW divisions.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Very sad news. God rest his soul.

 

[TallGHunter]

Tragic. RIP Kid

RIP Kid you’ll always be remembered as one of the first immensely talented small men that MMA fans were blessed with the privilege to watch perform

 

[Jyodog]

[Gambit MMA]

How is this not at the top of the section?

Rip kid. A pilllar of mid 2000s MMA and one of the best ever under 155 lbs
