Died suddenly or what happened? I couldnt read the whole thing
The combat sports community lost one of its best.
Thomas Gerbasi — UFC.com editorial director, award-winning member of the Boxing Writers Association of America, author, mentor, and all-around gem of a human being — passed away Tuesday night at the age of 57.
News of Gerbasi’s passing was met with an outpouring of grief and gratitude across the fight world, with colleagues, fighters, and fans alike paying tribute to the man who chronicled countless stories in boxing and mixed martial arts (MMA).
“Very sad to hear about my longtime friend & co-worker Tom Gerbasi passing away,” Bruce Buffer wrote on Twitter. “He was a fine man & journalist beloved by all his friends & co-workers in the world of sports, boxing, MMA & the UFC. May he RIP.”
Gerbasi’s career was defined not only by the volume and quality of his work, but by the kindness with which he carried himself. In a sport often defined by its toughness, he brought heart and humanity, always ensuring that fighters of every level had their stories told.
