How good could Josh Samman have been ?

[Martialarts123]

If not for his untimely death. He was a standout on TUF 17, and I thought he was highly athletic with a great skill set.

He died at 28, just before his prime. How could things have played out?

 

[StewDogg11]

A solid journeyman just as his career was going before he died.

 

[Reign009]

I'll say this about Josh, he caught way too much unnecessary hate during his TUF stint.

Very tragic what happened to him and his gf.

 

[Memeojima]

A GOAT. RIP

 

[blaseblah]

He showed abysmal fight IQ in his last fight.

 

[StewDogg11]

A GOAT. RIP

May be the first time I’ve heard someone refer to him as The Greatest of All-Time.

 

[notsojollyrogerRIP]

Super smart guy...Releases a book...

 

[TRYHARD 2001]

May be the first time I’ve heard someone refer to him as The Greatest of All-Time.

May be?

 

[StewDogg11]

May be?

Okay you’re right it’s gotta be the first.

Probably similar to Sam Alvey.

Don't be afraid to seek help. RIP

What happened to his gf?

 

[Yep]

Dude was super intense

What happened to his gf?

Died in a car accident iirc

 

[TR1]

He showed abysmal fight IQ in his last fight.

I recall a fairly shopworn Boetsch beating him up badly.

Wtf that's messed up

 

[bigmacbub]

Wtf that's messed up

Yeah it's sad. She's was texting Josh while driving too. That would crush any mans soul. Then several years later Josh overdoses on cocaine heroine and pain pills. Very sad stuff

 

[imbossing]

he would have beaten conor

and shane del rosario would have beaten francis

SDR was whooping stipe in the stand up till he got tookwn down. SDR would have been a force if he was alive

I bought his book on amazon :

It's good, I recommend it.

What happened to his gf essentially destroyed him.
I don't think he could live with his personal sense of guilt and loss.

Requiescat In Pace, Josh Samman.
