*Sad News to pass along as TUF Alum and Friend, Gilbert Smith has confirmed Josh 'Anqa' Samman's death this morning.
Several other news outlets are starting to release the news as well.
R.I.P. Samman (1988-2016)* - MMA Fight Night Live
Addiction is a powerful thing.
Can't believe that this happened.
Honestly one of the most entertaining fighters I have seen in his short time.
RIP Samman

Addiction is a tough thing and seems like the amount of OD's has been skyrocketing. I live in Maine which doesn't have any really massive cities but it seems like I can't read the newspaper daily without seeing another article about someone dying in the area. Too many people dying at a young age from this garbage.
