Wednesday morning the MMA community was hit with a tragic development regarding UFC middleweight Josh Samman, who has been in a coma since being found unresponsive<\/a> in a Florida apartment last month. <\/p>\n

While there has still been no word as to why Samman was found unresponsive, and another man with him was found dead, Samman’s mother recently released an update on her son<\/a>, in which she refuted claims that there was heroin involved. <\/p>\n

\"Samman<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite that, Samman’s mother gave no insight into what the cause of the situation was, however she did urge fans to continue to send good thoughts her son’s way as he remained in a coma. <\/p>\n

Wednesday morning, a tragic update surface from Samman’s fellow ‘Ultimate Fighter: Team Jones vs Team Sonnen’ alum Gilbert Smith, who revealed in an Instagram post that Samman passed away.<\/p>\n
