Story out of Edmonton, Alberta:
Ex-UFC fighter Ryan Jimmo was killed in a hit-and-run incident on Edmonton's Whyte Avenue early Sunday morning, his aunt confirmed to CBC News.
Jimmo — who went by the name "The Big Deal" when fighting — was 34.
He is perhaps best remembered from his seven-second knockout of Anthony Perosh at UFC 149 and his subsequent celebration that saw him do both the robot and the splits.
Police said an altercation occurred between two drivers at around 2:15 a.m. in the parking lot of the H2O Lounge, on Whyte Avenue and 101st Street.
The victim had approached the other vehicle on foot. When he began to walk away, police say the suspect vehicle accelerated and struck him before leaving the scene. Cont.
