News RIP Elias Theodorou

[Bill Laimbeer]

On all accounts a good person that that pushed for a union and marijuana , the latter making sense now. RIP Elias , as fellow Canadian this hurts.

Man, that is horribly unfair.

[ChimRichalds]

Incredibly sad news. Heartbreaking and terrifying seeing things like this happen to such a young, fit guy.

 

[rjmbrd]

Wow. No way. That's very, very sad.

Fuck cancer indeed. Never have I typed words more true.

Had to look for references to confirm, but it seems true.

Fought twice in 2021, last fight in December 2021... just 9 months. I'm guessing it was something aggressive and found late.

What a tough break, RIP

[TGArthur]

That's really sad. Nothing makes me feel more vulnerable than someone who looked young, strong and healthy lose a battle like that. RIP and thanks for all the entertainment you brought us

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

[milliniar]

Wow, rip Elias

 

[GGpX]

Stuff like this scares the shit out of me, man. I'm the same age as he was, and he was in infinite better shape than I am, and he wasn't immune to get sick.

Cherish life and your health, man.

I wonder if he was battling this cancer for a while, he was a very big proponent of cannabis, "Cannabis Athlete" was a trademark of his. Maybe he was self medicating with it ( not saying he only used that ) I dunno I shouldn't speculate on that. Once again, rest in peace Elias, from a fellow canadian.

 

[VinceArch]

RIP.

 

[Legendary]

I think he may have been. He was fighting hard to get use exemptions for it in both the US and Canada. He was the first fighter to receive it in both countries.

RIP Elias. May he rest easy.

 

[SaigeVanZant]

That's terrible. He was always entertaining for the wrong reasons, couldn't help but be a fan.

RIP
