UFC middleweight Josh Samman reportedly in coma

UFC middleweight Josh Samman is in critical condition and fighting for his life after being found unresponsive early Friday morning in south Florida, according to a report by the Tallahassee Democrat.

Samman, 28, was found unresponsive alongside his roommate and friend Troy Kirkingburg, who served as an announcer for the Samman-owned regional promotion Combat Night. Kirkingburg was pronounced dead on arrival, according to the report.

"I think it has taken a lot of the community and his friends by shock, completely unexpected out of the both of them," a local friend, Joe Blackwood, told the paper.
