Former UFC fighter Rodrigo de Lima was killed Sunday in a hit and run incident following a dispute with an Uber driver in Belem, Brazil.

UFC welterweight Michel Prazeres, a longtime friend and teammate of “Monstro”, told MMA Fighting on Monday morning that the 26-year-old fighter was inside a car with a few friends when he started arguing with the driver.

The driver allegedly stopped the car, Prazeres said, and they got in an altercation before the man drove away, came back and allegedly hit de Lima from behind with his car. de Lima was married and had two kids.

According to Prazeres, the police are currently searching for the driver. Multiple local newspaper reports confirm Prazeres’ account.

”Monstro” (9-3-1) fought twice under the UFC banner between 2014 and 2015, losing to Neil Magny and Efrain Escudero. The former Jungle Fight welterweight champion fought for the last time in June 2018, submitting Luiz Fabiano in the co-main event of Shooto Brazil 85.

That some bullshit.... The guy who did it deserves full sentence and daily ass raping.
 
Wtf isn’t that how Jimmo died too?

I can’t imagine being such a pussy that you feel the need to kill someone with your car because you can’t beat their ass.
 
That country is crazy, no wonder so many of them get into martial arts to try to make a better life, RIP
 
Life in prison without any chance of ever getting out for pieces of shit like that.
 
Motherfuckers are too quick to take a life, it’s senseless af.

RIP.
 
Cowardly mfer would have gotten his ass kicked if he had physically confronted him so he runs him down.

It's a shame that a family loses a father over an argument.

Too bad he didn't have John Wick's ability to survive getting hit by cars...
