Man accused of killing UFC veteran Ryan Jimmo pleads guilty to manslaughter, hit and run

Former UFC fighter Ryan Jimmo was killed on June 26, 2016 after he was run over by a truck in a parking lot outside of the H2O Lounge on Whyte Avenue in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He was 34 years old and had recently asked his girlfriend to marry him.

Witnesses stated that Jimmo had been involved in an altercation with two men outside of a bar and that the veteran fighter had turned and walked away. Witnesses said that’s when a pick-up truck carrying those men accelerated and struck Jimmo before fleeing from the scene.

Within a week of Jimmo’s death Edmonton police arrested Anthony Getschel, 25, and Jordan Wagner, 23.
