Australian MMA โคFighter Suman Mokhtarian โkilled in Suspectedโ Targeted Attack
Riverstone, Australia – Former UFC fighter Sumanโ Mokhtarian has died following โan incident Wednesday โฃevening in Riverstone, a suburb of Sydney, Australia.Emergency services responded to a call near the intersection of Annaluke Street and Riverbrae Avenue around 6:00 PM local time, but despite their โefforts, โMokhtarianโข was pronouncedโฃ dead at the scene.
Local police areโข investigatingโข the death as a โpurposeful attack, according toโค Riverstone Police Chief Jason Joyce. “We believe he was out for a walk, although this has notโ yet been โขconfirmed,” Joyceโ stated.”You’d likeโ to think you can feel safe in a district like this,โ but we believe this was a targetedโ incident.” He added, “It must have โbeen horrific, andโค it’s certainly not something weโฃ tolerate in โฃour community.”
Theโฃ inquiry โขis focusing on potentialโ links to a shooting atโ the Australian top team gymโ in February of last year, where โฃMokhtarian was reportedly the intended โtarget. โคHeโ survived that attack and subsequently cancelled a planned MMA gala due to fears of further violence.
Mokhtarian,a featherweight fighter,concluded his โprofessional MMA career โขwith a record of 8 wins and 2 losses. Heโ last competed inโ the UFCโ six years ago, suffering โa unanimous decision โloss to Choi Seung-Woo. โค
