MMA fighters who completely disappeared

It's not what TS may be asking about, but Chris Lytle disappeared in his own way. Much respect to him.

Chris Lytle is still an important part of the MMA community; his youtube channel, LytesOut MMA History Podcast, is his own project to preserve the history of early MMA.

Not a lot of followers, but a lot of stuff that "MMA historians" that like to hang out in threads like this one will enjoy. He uploads regularly too, plenty of interesting guests come over to tell their stories.

Nowadays it's pretty much the only MMA related podcast I listen to in English, it's just fun to have old timers show up to talk about old MMA fairy tales and give their side of the stories.

Who are some MMA fighters who have never been heard from again? Of course, I'm not talking about guys who simply were released and have since retired or fought in regionals. Just guys who were straight-up never heard from again?

One that comes to mind is Scott "Hands of Steel" Smith. Known for his wars in the UFC and Strikeforce. Should have been a former Strikeforce Middleweight champion had Cung Le not vacated his belt out of ducking the other top contenders in Strikeforce.

After the Cung Le fights, he went without another win in Strikeforce. Losing to Nick Diaz (at MW), getting flatlined by Paul Daley, decision by Tarec Saffiedine, and getting steamrolled by a tune-up in Lumumba Sayers. Apparently, he had a serious alcohol problem during this time. Had then been released by Strikeforce, a year before the Strikeforce roster was absorbed by the UFC. He had come back in 2014 for some promotion called West Coast Fighting Championship or something.

Dropped off the face of the planet since his last loss to Justin Baesman in like 2016/17 and was never heard from again. No social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, nothing. I don't know of a lot of cases like this in MMA fighters.

Also fun fact: Scott Smith was overpowered in EA MMA.

Doesn't that apply to 90% of fighters? You just stop hearing about them after a while?
