Kimbo comments on the rumors that he was knocked out in a sparring session with Forrest Griffin "No, there is no truth to that at all. It's bullshit and Forrest Griffin will tell you that it's bullshit too." Slice told www.mmanews.com. "The fact is it was a good sparring session and I was training with Forrest and he was talking to me about defending yourself at all times and then he threw a big kick and I was like, 'WOAH I never even seen that coming'. But no, I never got knocked out. Even if I did get knocked out, saying that and putting that rumor out there just makes you a pussy." Kimbo's latest comments were in response to an interview done with Dana White where White stated that Kimbo was knocked out by a head kick by Forrest Griffin.
