This is terrible. Just the other day I was watching his bout with Rodriguez, one of the many classic wars that Arturo fought. He never gave up and always gave it his all.

He will be missed.

RIP

Fightnews.com reporting this. His wife found him dead, and police say it looks suspicious. He had major head trauma. What a tragedy,

Rip

 

[McGarnicle**]

That's unfortunate. If anything, a very gutsy fighter that took it as well as he was able to dish it out. A real nice guy...

 

[Bonos]

Rip

 

[CanadaMMA]

TSN in Canada is reporting that it was serious blunt force trama to the head that killed him. Unless it was an accident where something fell and landed on his head, that 99% of the time means someone killed him.

I am at a loss for words.
