Yamamoto var 18-6 á ferlinum í MMA. Hann greindi frá því í síðasta mánuði að hann væri með krabbamein og er nú farinn yfir móðuna miklu.
Hann sló í gegn hjá hinum ýmsu bardagasamböndum áður en hann fór að berjast hjá UFC. Hann náði fjórum bardögum þar en vann aldrei.
Kappinn var afar vel liðinn í bardagaheiminum og er hans minnst af mikilli hlýju.
Rest in Peace @KID_KRAZYBEE One of the best - One of my favorite fighters - What a loss to the sport. #SadDay#TooYoung#Legendhttps://t.co/Iwm48pFEWq

RIP Kid Yamamoto. My first MMA coach introduced me to his fights and have been a fan ever since. Another life that passes far too early https://t.co/dL0PTsODVe

Man. Rest In Peace, Kid. A real life MMA super hero, who at one time was considered one of the P4P greats, gone way too soon. https://t.co/bsr7tnYlXd
