Canadian light heavyweight Ryan Jimmo is dead at 34.

MMAjunkie today confirmed with a person with first-hand knowledge of the accident who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the matter that Jimmo was the victim identified in an initial CBC News report of a fatal hit-and-run accident.

Edmonton Police Service officials were not immediately available for comment.

According to CBC News, “an altercation occurred between the drivers of two vehicles at around 2:15 a.m.” this morning in the parking lot of H2O Lounge in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

The report continues that “the 34-year-old driver of one vehicle walked up to the occupants of the other vehicle. When he began to walk away, police say the suspects’ vehicle accelerated and struck him before leaving the scene.

“The suspects’ vehicle, a dark-colored pickup truck police say was occupied by two Caucasian males, then fled … and nearly hit a red car.”

The suspects are reportedly still at large.

Probably best known in the UFC for his 7 second KO of Anthony Perosh and subsequent robot dance.

RIP, I remember that super-quick knockout that put him on the map, as well as his fight before that - a regional circuit decision against UFC vet Sokoudjou. What a way to die.
