RIP Jordan Breen

[Kforcer]

Looks like there isn't a thread addressing this, but Jordan Breen has passed away. Basically Ariel Helwani before Ariel Helwani and a more knowledgeable version at that, a Sherdog original and a guy who was, really, a huge part of building up this site and giving hardcore MMA fans a source for news and commentary. Don't know the circumstances, but multiple sources have reported his passing. A truly knowledgeable mind when it came to MMA and a true sports journalist, one that really, truly did his homework and put thought into what he did.

A thoughtful, intelligent man as well.

That sucks, used to listen to his crazy ass back in the day.

Somebody check is Brandon from New Jersey safe?

 

[Fury]

For real though, that sucks. He was the sage when this was still an outsider sport.

Damn man,

Used to listen to Breen all of the time back during the mma heydays. Last I had seen a few years back he was in a pretty bad state with drugs and alcohol, kinda put a stop to his career..

Was always pulling for the guy..

RIP to a legend of the Sherdog Community.

RIP, nevertheless. Last years of his life post sherdog were rough.

 

[HelloJapan]

[IndyCovaHart]

[Versez]

Rip. My condoléances

 

[helax]

RIP. Very sad.

 

[Flower2dPeople]

His show was the only one on SRN that doesn't talk about Greg or Jeff's softball team or TJ De Santis armbarring Brett Rogers.

 

[Fury]

He also used to email back people who sent in questions to the show that didn't get on the air, little things, but he seemed like a good dude.

Greg or Jeff's softball team

The fat fucks talked about three things...softball, that they knew Tito or the old reference a thing and then say you can't tell the story on air

Rip Jordan. Hurts that I’ll never be able to tell you how much your content meant to me during my teenage years and early 20’s… you’re the reason I’m the fan I am today… the Bourdain of mma media to me. This one hurts… a lot

My bad. That thread evaded all my searches. I'm no Jordan Breen when it comes to research, apparently.

 

[badascan]

Damn, may he rip... used to listen to him often...

 

[shorinryu86]

Such a big fan of his crappy yet entertaining movies, RIP.

 

[Happiness]

Sucks so much. I'll miss him. I cant stop tearing up.

A true pioneer in MMA analysis from both a sociological stance and breaking down the minute of fight technique. An enclopedia of mma knowledge.

Also, a geniually decent guy.

I had some really good chats with Breen. Super approachable and we built up a relationship over the years. Talked more about pitics than mma in the end.

 

[Cajun]

Tragically, he faced personal hardships, living alone until his passing in a shelter.

Sad stuff.
