Josh Samman, as remembered by the Bloody Elbow staff
On October 5th, 2016, UFC middleweight Josh Samman passed away at a Florida hospital, days after he was placed in a coma after he was found unresponsive in his apartment. Samman was just 28 years old.
Samman was not just a talented mixed martial artist, he was a phenomenally talented writer. In March 2015, he joined the Bloody Elbow staff as a feature columnist. His name is on the website’s masthead as an author. Over the next several days, we will be re-featuring several of Samman’s articles on the front page, and also showcase his fanposts from when he first joined Bloody Elbow back in 2010.
