MMA fighters who died in 2016

Even at an age when most in the sport traded gloves for mitts, Slice drew ratings by the boatload

#4 Ryan Jimmo

Jimmo was a welcome addition to the shallow 205-lbs section

The second victim of a hit-and-run in this assemblage, Jimmo’s death was much more violent than the description would portray. The 34-year-old Canadian had an argument with the driver of a truck in a parking lot and as he was walking away, was run over.

The barbaric knee jerk reaction beggars belief, doesn’t it? The driver, 23-year-old Anthony Getschel and the other occupant of the truck, 21-year-old Jordan Wagner, were arrested and charged.

A contestant on the eighth season of the Ultimate Fighter, Jimmo’s name still stands next to the record for (joint) second-fastest KO in UFC history. He obliterated Anthony Perosh with a right hand in just 7 seconds and then drew even louder applause when he broke into a fluent robot and ended it with a full split.
