In a time where we are dealing with the unfortunate circumstances surrounding our own Shane Del Rosario it’s hard to imagine or have room in our heart for another tragic event.
Unfortunately, that has happened but outside the world of Mixed Martial Arts.
Film star Paul Walker was announced dead this past weekend following a tragic fiery car accident.
An event that has caught many by surprise, some of MMA’s key figures have expressed their feelings following Walkers passing:
