One of the best fighters to ever come from Massachusetts has just experienced a terrible tragedy. Leave a comment or say a prayer for Jorge and his family.

From the UG:

I’m only posting this because in my travels w/ Jorge I have met some of the most sincere and respectful fans I’ve ever met, the mma community has been phenomenal.

For those that know Jorge, you know he’s humble and comes to fight every time. Yesterday evening Jorge’s teen daughter passed away.
She was a beautiful girl that had her dad’s fighting spirit till her last breath, for respect to the family as to why she passed will not be posted.

What I would like to see is that WE pray to GOD in these very hard times to get us passed this because it’s extremely difficult.

If you want to send any emails or prayers please do to
prizefighting@hotmail.com, If you’ve read this I want to thank you for your kindness & prayers in advance.

Hugo(Jorge’s Brother)
