If you’re familiar with the VICE TV series “Dark Side of the Ring” covering some of the darker backstage stories in pro-wrestling history, VICE is making one for MMA. Not sure if it’s the same people (don’t believe so).

It premiers later tonight with the story of Kimbo Slice and an investigation into his death. Im curious about how the story will be framed, who they talked to, and what the ultimately fall on in terms of ‘blame’. I’ve been highly critical of the state of Texas myself since before the fight was made but we’ll see what comes up.

There’s a lot of stuff I’m disappointed didn’t show up on the show, but I get it. You only have to much of a budget, access, and so much time. And I don’t know who they tried to talk to and couldn’t get a hold of, ya know. Off the top of my head, would have loved to have seen Spencer Fisher on the show. Read his story if you’d like to know why. It’ll break your heart.
