Sad news as MMA fighter Jordan Parsons has died days after he was struck by a Range Rover in a hit and run incident in Florida. He was just 25-years old.

“It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of a dear member of the Bellator family, Jordan Parsons,” Bellator MMA President Scott Coker said in a statement.

“Jordan was an exceptional athlete and a rising star in the sport. But more importantly, he was an exceptional young man,” Coker added.  “Jordan was hard-working, dedicated, intelligent, and a pleasure to be around. He represented all the reasons we love this sport. It is a terribly tragic loss and our thought and prayers go out to his family, friends and teammates.”

Parsons was 11-2 as an MMA fighter and was a part of the famed Blackzilians training group with stars like Anthony “Rumble” Johnson and Rashad Evans.

The fighter was struck by the car while crossing a street early Sunday morning.  Officials believe Parsons may have been wearing headphones and was unable to hear the car approaching.

Police are still looking for the driver of the car that hit Parsons and vowed to prosecute that person to the fullest extent of the law.
