Jimmo was transported to a local hospital where he later died from the injuries. An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday June 28th.
Jimmo’s finest moment in an MMA ring was at UFC 149 in 2012 when he knocked out Anthony Perosh in just seven seconds.
The
sensational finish is one of the fastest knockouts in UFC history,
quicker even than Conor McGregor’s 13-second demolition of legendary
Jose Aldo. May his soul Rest In Peace.
