CONTRARY to earlier false reports, mixed martial arts fighter Kim Leopoldo is NOT dead and is alive and well.

The 41-year-old MMA fighter — known simply as Kimo to his legions of fans — was reported to have died after suffering complications from a heart attack on Monday.


Several leading American websites, including TMZ.com, The Huffington Post and New York Daily News all carried the story yesterday.
But Yahoo Sports' Kevin Iole confirmed Leopoldo is very much alive after contacting the fighter late last night. (http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news;_ylt=AmBPGu1ExDtSOwQKn4RlJ.g5nYcB?slug=ki-kimo072109&prov=yhoo&type=lgns)

Leopoldo told Iole: "I knew I wasn't dead. So when I was reading this I wondered if I was jinxed or something was going to happen."

Kimo even appeared at the Orange County Sheriff's office in California yesterday evening to put an end to rumours of his death that had spread like wild fire across the Internet.


He added: "It was really strange. I was surprised at how nasty it was. I guess it wasn't a good thing...I've always had strange things written about me but nothing this bizarre.
"I couldn't believe it when I searched for my name and I wrote in 'Kimo Leopoldo' and it added the word 'death.'"
