Former UFC fighter Bubba McDaniel went 1-2 during his time in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Now, however, tragedy has struck within the fighter’s personal life.
Wilder McDaniel, toddler son to Bubba McDaniel, has passed away. Now the fighter’s brother has set up a GoFundMe dedicated to raising money for the child’s funeral in this time of need. A description of the GoFundMe can be seen below.
“My brother, Bubba Mc Daniel and Amber Odom lost their precious son Wilder on October 11, 2018. Unfortunately no parent is ever prepared to bury their child and be able to afford funeral expenses. Any help is appreciated in order to help out these parents during this difficult time. Every little bit helps. The familes are respectfully asking for donations toward the funeral costs . Thank you all for your sympathies and support at this very difficult time. We appreciate the kindness and your thoughtful donations to Bubba & Amber in memory of Wilder. We are greatful for friends and family like you during this time of sorrow.”
UFC President Dana White has also gone on to offer his condolences over social media.
