Former UFC and Strikeforce standout Benji Radach has died. He was 45.
Members of Radach’s family, including his stepmother and brother, reported the news of his passing on Facebook. No cause of death has been revealed.
The 24-fight veteran competed in some of the biggest organizations in mixed martial arts, including the IFL, EliteXC, Strikeforce, Bellator, and the UFC. After kickstarting his career with a perfect 12-0 record, including a 5-0 run as an amateur, ‘Razor’ made his Octagon debut at UFC 37 against Steve Berger.
Radach scored a 27-second KO, but the result was later overturned by the Louisiana State Athletic Commission after it was determined that he was holding onto the cage prior to the finish.
