hope kid pulls through ok, cancer's obviously a bitch.

 

[KenkaBancho]

Scary shit.

Kid is one of my favourite fighters

You'd never think people in peak or at least great shape would get cancer. Shows you how unpredictable life can be. Hope he gets well soon!

 

[Andrey Kamensky]

Wishing him a fast and easy recovery and healing!

 

[Katsumi Yamada]

That's terrible news.

KID is one of my all-time favourite fighters. I saw a post from someone saying they "hope KID wins his fight", and got excited because I thought he was getting back in the ring, then when I checked, it's cancer. Fuck!

Isn't marijuana supposed to help treat cancer?
If yes then I'm optimistic about his recovery.
