Samman was found unresponsive in his apartment last Thursday by a friend. Samman’s roommate and MMA announcer Troy Kirkinburg was also found in the apartment deceased. It is being suspected at this point that some kind of drugs were involved initially, but this has not been confirmed.

Samman has battled an addiction problem in the past and has even penned a memoir about the subject matter, while also detailing the death of his girlfriend in a tragic car accident.
There is no doubt this is a sad time for the UFC world.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this tragic time.
