DAMN! They Were Good celebrates the careers of our favorite fighters in MMA history. On this episode, the MMA Fighting staff takes a deep dive into the late Kimbo Slice, an internet legend who became the biggest star in MMA. Back in the early 2000s when MMA was still making its way into the mainstream, the more sophomoric corners of the internet birthed an entirely different kind of combat sport: bareknuckle fights in backyards and boatyards all across Miami. At the time, Kimbo Slice - real name Kevin Ferguson - was a driver and bodyguard for a pornography company, and began engaging in street fights for extra money. Not long after that, Kimbo's friends decided to video those fights and upload them to the internet, and almost overnight, a sensation was born. Thanks to those videos, Kimbo Slice became one of the most talked about fighters on the planet, rubbing shoulders with real life celebrity A-listers. Soon afterwards, he made the move into MMA, headlining the first MMA show on network television and then even joining up with the UFC. A move to Bellator and then boxing followed, and all the while, Kimbo remained a beloved figure in the space until his tragic passing in 2016 at age 42 due to congestive heart failure. But though Kimbo is gone, his spirit lives on as do the many legendary moments he gave us. Which of those were our favorite and what was it like to live through the Kimbo Slice era?

Thomas Capps Bitter cold continues Hello and welcome to Tennessee home and Farm Radio. I'm Thomas Capps. There's no farms or Charles Hord There's no farms closed today so you do have to do a little extra work when it's like this outside. Thomas Capps The snow has stop falling across the Volunteer State leaving behind large accumulation and bitterly cold temperatures. Most places are seeing highs only reaching the teens and lows in the single digits. That means farmers with livestock are working a bit harder, braving the dangerous temperatures to ensure their animals are well cared for. Tennessee Cattlemen Association Executive Vice President Charles Hord and his daughter Teddy Ann are out constantly checking on their sheep. Charles Hord You gotta make sure they've got their bellies full so, you know that helps regulate their warmth so every farmer in the state I know is putting out extra hay the next couple of days in knowing how cold it's gonna be. There's a lot of time spent watching water lines breaking up water tanks hoping your water lines don't freeze. Thomas Capps Keeping water broke can perhaps be the biggest challenge in weather like this. Kevin Ferguson with UT Extension has trough warmers and a geothermal system for his cattle but for those relying on breaking water, safety for both the animal and the farmer is important. Kevin Ferguson You will have stories during this time of year about farmers being out and trying to bust ice on ponds and for the cattle have access to water and out checking animals that are calving or having babies at this time. There's a lot of people that are right in the middle of calving and lambing and kidding now and you know they want to be out there taking care of those animals but they've got also figured out and make sure to protect themselves go in occasionally warm up, bundle up. Thomas Capps Ferguson also says now's the time to feed the best quality hay that you have as livestock rely on getting key nutrients to stay warm. It's days like these though we can all give thanks for the 2% that work to feed the other 98% of us. Kevin Ferguson They love this is a way of life. Yes, it's a business but it's also a way of life. Charles Hord This is the hard part of the job. Most of the year is a lot of fun having livestock. This is the time where you got to do a little work.

Hello there and welcome to Tennessee Home and Farm Radio. I'm Amy Beckham. Kevin Ferguson Farm management is important and one of the things we often find out is that the successful farm managers are also successful leaders as well. And I think that's very much embodies what the young farmer and ranchers program here is all about. Amy Beckham Well, recently, Kevin Ferguson with the University of Tennessee Center of Farm Management spoke to Tennessee Young Farmers about advice the center has on how to better operate their farms, starting with making sure they have a farm succession plan. Ferguson encourages them to Kevin Ferguson Begin that conversation now. Don't wait until someone's in their 60s or 70s and 80s. Before you plan that conversation about how are we going to transition to the next generation, because there's a lot of tools that are available, that are out there that we can better utilize if we start utilizing those tools earlier. And you know, the whole thing is what we see from the information we have across the state. Only about 15% of our farmers indicate they've got some kind of transition plan, and we really like to change that. Amy Beckham One of the many things that the center is doing to try to combat that issue in Tennessee is hosting farmland legacy workshops across the state. Ferguson shares more. Kevin Ferguson We're having farmland legacy meetings across the state where that we come in and talk about the tools we try to bring in a local attorney that sales the people informs them here's how what we can do to work with you anything to encourage that and get them started in that because, you know, it really can help and eliminate some very difficult situations later on if you get everybody and get them on the same page and look at all of our options early. Amy Beckham For more information on the center of farm management and to access their many resources visit their website at farm management.tennessee.edu Thanks for joining us everyone and have a great day for Tennessee home and Farm Radio.
