It’s only fair that we should start this article with a warning that the 10 true-crime stories you are about to read contain truly disturbing, depraved, and graphic details of horrifying murders that have been committed by professional MMA fighters over the years, from unheralded journeymen on the regional circuit through to established stars who have fought for top-flight promotions like the UFC, Bellator and PRIDE.

As such, if you are squeamish or easily offended, then you may wish to skip this one and read one of our many other featured lists instead.

If not, proceed with caution and enjoy.

David Tyner

Former Titan FC fighter Tyner produced a solid 6-1 run in his first year as a professional MMA fighter in 2007, but only two years later in November of 2009, he was turning himself into police in connection with multiple homicides in Oklahoma.

The 28-year-old had reportedly been asked by Indian Brotherhood gang member Denny Phillips, to rob and kill an associate, Casey Mark Barrientos, who ran a drug and prostitution ring from his compound in Olkahoma.

On the night of the murders, Tyner dropped off two other armed men, Jonathan Allen Cochrane and Russell Lee Hogshooter, behind the property and then went inside via the front door, where he waited for Barrientos to come home.

The plan he claims was for the other two to come in via the back door and kill Barrientos when he arrived, and sometime later while Tyner was in the bathroom he did hear shots ring out from the living room.

However, when he approached, Tyner found Barrientos standing wielding a knife in the living room and so he proceeded to shoot him dead and then ruthlessly went on to kill two other two female witnesses who were also present, pregnant 22-year-old Millie Barerra and 25-year-old Jennifer Ermey.

Soon after, Tyner chased another man, Jose Fierro, outside, but he was able to flee the scene.

When he returned Tyner saw Cochrane and Hogshooter wielding bloody knives and discovered that 22-year-old Brooke Phillips, a pregnant prostitute who had once appeared on the reality TV show, ‘Cathouse,’ had been stabbed to death.

Tyner and Cochrane left the home soon afterward, while Hogshooter stayed behind to pour gasoline over the bodies and then set them alight.

Police eventually arrested all the perpetrators involved, and in May of 2012, Tyner pled guilty to six counts of murder (four adults and two fetuses) in exchange for life in prison with no option to appeal. Phillips and Hogshooter also received life sentences, while Cochrane is spending 25 years behind bars.

10 MMA Fighters Who Passed Away In 2016

As 2016 rapidly draws to a conclusion and we take stock of the year gone by, one trend that casts a long shadow is the alarming number of past and present MMA fighters who’ve died over the past 12 months.

Unfortunately the sport of mixed martial arts is still too young for this to simply be a case of stars passing away due to old age. In fact, with the age of the 10 fighters listed here ranging from just 25-49 years old, we are left having to come to terms with the fact that these were 10 lives that were simply taken far too soon.

A knee-jerk reaction would be to assume that these deaths occurred due to injuries they sustained in the cage, but the truth is that only one of the ten passed away in that manner – although we can surely all agree that’s one too many.

As you’ll read in the pages to follow however, the reasons for the others deaths are just as hard to accept, from sudden medical emergencies to apparent suicide, from freak accidents to cold-blooded murder.

Following the murder of a police officer, an ex-MMA fighter was shot to death by armed police…

Terrible news has come out of the Indonesian Island of Bali yesterday, as a situation involving a former mixed martial artist has resulted in the death of two men. Amokrane Sabet, a former mixed martial artist in the United Kingdom, was confronted by police or travelling on an expired visa, but the situation quickly spiralled out of control. Sabet, also known as “Kiane” was a 49-year old French-Algerian who was temporarily residing in Bali.

As per a statement via Bloody Elbow, the local police had a fair amount of trouble from Sabet before the incident in question:

“There had been many complaints about him such as eating at restaurants without paying, carrying a knife, and harassing people, but every time we called him in for questioning, he never showed up,”

“One of our officers tried to approach him and calm him down, but Sabet stabbed him,” said Wiyanto, adding that the officer died from his wounds.

Apparently all attempts to subdue Sabet by other means were exhausted, and when he attacked and subsequently killed a police officer, there was no other option. The following video of the fatal shooting of Amokrane Sabet is graphic, and should only be viewed by adults or the age of 18. You have been warned.

The exact reasons for his constant carrying of a concealed weapon and obvious dislike for the police are unknown, but the report on the incident reveals he was shot multiple times and died on the scene. A tragic occurrence for everyone involved, as Amokrane Sabet’s death by police makes headline news in Bali and now the world over. He was clearly troubled, and sadly no one was able to help before the death of a police officer and “Kiane” himself.
