Josh Samman tragically passed away last October 5, but the 28-year-old UFC middleweight has certainly left a lasting impact on the MMA community and everyone in his life. Apart from competing, Samman was also a talented writer and promoter, who has mentored and helped countless young athletes in Florida. In that spirit, an organization has been created to continue the work he has put in.
Samman’s family has sent BloodyElbow.com his obituary that the local papers are set to publish on Wednesday. In it, is an announcement that an MMA foundation to help young athletes has been established in the fighter’s memory.
