The ex-fighter was due to fight for the Bellator light-heavyweight title in September of last year but pulled out due to a health issue that persisted over the past year.

The American, who joined Bellator last year, explained how sick he was during a social media post, which read: “Really wish I could go into detail about how ill I truly am. Just know I need as many prayers as I can get and I’ll see you in 2022 God willing. Never been this afraid of anything in my life but I’ve remained strong with the support of friends and family.”

It’s sad news. For a sport which athletes are healthy (or so they claim), hearing news about their deaths is demotivating. What is the point of staying in shape when death is a corner away?
