== Trivia ==

* In [[Neon Prime|''Neon Prime'']], [[Kali]] was a former champion of the pit who came out of retirement, only to fight and lose to Bebop. Kali sustained injuries severe enough to send him into an almost 2-decade hiatus afterwards.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Lash|file=Lash_kill_kali_01.mp3|transcription=Not gonna dunk on you, Kali. You were a hell of a fighter before you retired. Lived in obscurity, came out of retirement in a desperate bid for relevancy, only to get injured by Bebop. Ouch! And put on a shelf for the better part of two decades. Uhf.}}</ref>
