A sudden death has been reported. UFC flyweight fighter Allan Nascimento (Brazil) passed away at the age of 34.
On the 4th (Korean time), the UFC announced via its official website that Nascimento, a Brazilian-born flyweight fighter, died of a heart attack while sleeping. In a statement, the UFC said: "This morning, the beloved fighter and exemplary flyweight athlete Nascimento showed signs of a heart attack while asleep and was found unconscious. Despite the efforts of emergency medical personnel on site, he was pronounced dead at the scene. We extend our deepest condolences to Nascimento's family, friends, colleagues, and all who loved him during this unimaginably difficult time."
The world has been shocked. On the same day, British media outlet 'BBC' reported Nascimento's death, stating: "Fighter Nascimento, who has competed on the UFC stage since 2021, has passed away," adding that he held a professional mixed martial arts record of 22 wins and 7 losses overall, with 4 wins and 2 losses in the UFC.
Nascimento was an active fighter until recently. His last fight was a 1-2 decision loss to Mitch Raposo just two months ago in June.
British media outlet 'Mirror' also reported that Nascimento was found deceased at his home in the morning. The outlet stated: "Nascimento, a veteran fighter with 29 bouts under his belt, passed away suddenly only two months after competing in the 'UFC Fight Night' event held at Las Vegas Meta Apex in June."
Even 'ESPN' highlighted Nascimento's background as a native of São Paulo, Brazil. According to the outlet, Nascimento earned the nickname "Puro Osso" (All Bones) during his teenage years due to his extremely slender physique. He grew up under the guidance of head coach Diego Lima at the prestigious fight team Shoot Boxing before joining the UFC in 2021. 'ESPN' noted that all two of Nascimento's losses in the UFC came by 1-2 decision, underscoring how fiercely competitive every one of his fights was.
In response to the shocking news of Nascimento's sudden death at just 34 years old, fellow fighters and fans have continued to offer their condolences.
