I well remember his big fight with Griffin in 2006, many say it made that sport successful.

Sad to hear...also: Dax Tejera, the executive producer of ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” died suddenly Friday at the age of 37.

Used to be when you read the obituaries you only saw an occasional young person. Now, you see far too many.

Bonnar's fight with Griffin was epic.

I used to watch The Ultimate Fighter for the first couple of seasons, and I remember that the winner of the Bonnar-Griffin fight was going to get a UFC contract. The fight was so good, with both men giving their all, that Dana White gave contracts to both of them.

It was a fight reminiscent of Rocky: two relatively unknown fighters who would not quit.

Condolences to his family and friends.

Seems a lot of young people are dying of “heart complications” these days.

presumed heart complications

Is that shorthand for "fully vaccinated"?

He was suffering from a lot of injuries and was addicted to pain pills. He did an interview last year where he discussed all of his health problems. Broken vertebrae, broken shoulder. He unfortunately wasn’t healthy to begin with.
