Saturday, September 22 2007
Lightweight Jackson Bussell passed away on Friday after battling Javier Garcia to a draw on Thursday night at the Sagebrush Cantina in Calabasas, California. Bussell, who took the bout on late notice, gave a good account of himself in the fight, but seemed to run out of gas late. After the bout he collapsed and was taken to Northridge Medical Center where he lost his fight for life the following afternoon. Bussell, who lived in Reno, Nevada, was just 28 years of age. The Fightnews.com staff sends its condolences to his family.

Indeed. There's already a thread devoted to this topic, but, anything designed to remember a fallen fighter can't hurt.
