Former UFC fighter Suman Mokhtarian has tragically passed away at the young age of 33, falling victim to a targeted attack in Australia. The incident has left the MMA community in shock and mourning.
According to reports, Mokhtarian was enjoying a peaceful walk when he was suddenly shot and killed. The attack was swift and brutal, with witnesses describing a red Audi speeding away after the shots rang out around 6 PM local time. The victim sustained critical injuries to his upper torso, and despite the paramedics' efforts, he could not be saved.
This is not the first time Mokhtarian has faced danger. In 2024, a man attempted to take his life outside the Australian Top Team gym, where he was a coach. The shooter, disguised as a delivery driver, fired multiple shots, narrowly missing their mark. The shooter was later arrested but released on bail, leaving the community anxious.
The authorities had to cancel a local MMA event in April due to concerns about a potential gang hit on Mokhtarian. While they did not publicly identify him, the Australian Top Team members have taken to social media to pay tribute to their coach and friend. The team's posts have sparked a wave of support and condolences from the MMA community.
The tragic death of Suman Mokhtarian has left a profound impact, and the authorities have not disclosed any further details about the incident. The MMA world mourns the loss of a talented fighter and a beloved member of the community.
