The world of mixed martial arts is not invulnerable to tragedy. That fact was made clear back in 2016, when another talented fighter passed away.
Ivan “JP” Cole is a former competitor for Bellator MMA. The fighter made his final appearance inside the cage for the promotion back at Bellator 135, having suffered a loss to George Pacurariu.
CBS Dallas Fort-Worth has since reported that the fighter killed himself while playing Russian roulette in his Dallas, Texas apartment.
