UFC Veteran Light Heavyweight Ryan Jimmo Reportedly Dead at 34
Canadian mixed martial artist, and seven-fight UFC veteran, Ryan Jimmo has died due to injuries suffered from a hit-and-run incident in a nightclub parking lot in the early morning hours of June 26. Multiple news outlets have confirmed the tragic loss. The “Big Deal” as 34.
CBC News first reported that homicide detectives were investigating a hit-and-run on Whyte Avenue that resulted in Jimmo's death on Sunday morning. Jimmo was involved in an altercation at around 2:15 a.m., in the parking lot of the H2O Lounge in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. As Jimmo walked away from the vehicle driven by the “suspects,” the driver of an ‘older-model, extended-cab pickup truck,' accelerated, striking Jimmo.
Jimmo was transported to a local hospital where he later died from the injuries. An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday.
