This and Rumble sudden passing has really shaken me to the core. It’s just so devastating both are still super young. 2022 has been a hard year for fighters passing away.

I don’t think Rumble’s was sudden; pretty sure he had cancer for a couple years.

Rumble was really ill for a year and a half. You can see on his Instagram from last September he was at the hospital having fluid drained from his abdomen.

Man.... rip to a pioneer, a legend. I wonder what happened. The guy was struggling for quite some time. Really sad.

 

[mkt]

RIP. Always seemed like a good guy who struggled with some demons, like the DUI he had a few years ago. These fighters go through a lot (including CTE in many cases). He wasn't elite in the UFC, but fought at the highest levels including Jones, Anderson and Machida. Just making it to the UFC and fighting those guys is more than 95%+ of pro MMA guys do. And in 24 fights, Anderson was the only guy who finished him.

Yeah that’s true I guess it’s due to how young he was I know his health wasn’t good and declining still super sad all around.
