Elias Theodorou, a Canadian mixed martial artist, who also competed for the UFC throughout his career, died on the 11th of September, at the age of 34 after a private battle with liver cancer.

Theodorou’s representative confirmed the tragic news to a TSN broadcaster, who shared the statement on social media.

“Sadly, a representative of Elias Theodorou has confirmed earlier reports that he has passed away at age 34,” Aaron Bronsteter of The Sports Network in Canada tweeted. “Theodorou was privately battling Stage 4 liver cancer and had only told a select group of people of his diagnosis.”

Theodorou began his MMA career in 2011, earning an impressive 11 consecutive victories before competing in the UFC.
