A very sad day for the mixed martial arts (MMA) community.
Up-and-coming featherweight prospect Jordan Parsons died on Wednesday (May 4, 2016) as a result of injuries sustained during his hit-and-run accident earlier this week in Delray Beach, Florida (more on that here).
He was just 25 years old.
"It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of a dear member of the Bellator family, Jordan Parsons. Jordan was an exceptional athlete and a rising star in the sport. But more importantly, he was an exceptional young man.
