MMA: décès du combattant de l'UFC Allan Nascimento à 34 ans
Brazilian MMA fighter Allan Nascimento, who had been with the UFC since 2021, died Monday at the age of 34, the organization announced Tuesday.
"Our beloved flyweight boxer, Allan Nascimento, was found unresponsive after apparently suffering a heart attack in his sleep," the UFC said on its social media.
"Despite the efforts of the medical team dispatched to the scene, his death was confirmed at the location."
The Brazilian had fought his last fight on June 20 in Las Vegas, suffering a split decision defeat against American Mitch Raposo.
Since the beginning of his career, he had 22 wins, including 16 by submission, for seven losses.
"A true pillar on the verge of the Top 15, Nascimento was always by his teammates' side when they entered the ring, maintaining particularly close ties with former lightweight champion and current BMF title holder, Charles Oliveira," the UFC stated.
He paid tribute to him, saying he had lost "a brother". "It hurts so much. I love you forever, you will never be forgotten," he said on Instagram.
