Bellator’s Jordan Parsons Dies After Hit-And-Run Accident
Three days after being struck by an SUV in Florida, Jordan Parsons (pictured) has died. Bellator MMA’s up-and-coming featherweight was only 25 years old.“It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of a dear member of the Bellator family, Jordan Parsons,” Bellator president Scott Coker expressed in Wednesday’s statement. “Jordan was an exceptional athlete and a rising star in the sport. But more importantly, he was an exceptional young man. 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 thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and teammates.”
