A sad day for the mixed martial arts (MMA) community.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight Josh Samman passed away this week, several days after he was found unconscious alongside his roommate, Troy Kirkingburg, inside their South Florida apartment.
Kirkingburg, who worked an an MMA ring announcer, was pronounced dead shortly after their discovery.
Samman's cause of death is not currently known, pending an autopsy, per Broward County Medical Examiner and Trauma Services chief medical examiner Craig Mallak. The Medical Examiner's office will not administer a toxicology report, because Samman survived for days after being found and "there are no suitable specimens to test," Mallak said.
