Brian Gassaway, a 50-fight MMA veteran, passed away this weekend at the age of 49. A GoFundMe campaign was set up to help fund a memorial for Gassaway. At this time of writing that campaign had raised over $12,000.
The campaign page states that Gassaway “lived his life with purpose and goodness, dedicating every waking moment to being a better person, husband, friend, fighter and coach.”
“Very few people have the courage to follow their dreams. Brian was one of them. He tested himself all over the world against some of the best fighters on the planet having competed in the UFC, Bellator, WEC, King of the Cage, Iron Heart Crown, Shooto and Pancrase.
