White wasn’t the only member of the UFC to mourn the loss of Robert Follis. Matt Brown posted on Twitter early this morning:

Former UFC color commentator and fighter Kenny Florian was also saddened to hear the news:

Famed MMA referee Big John McCarthy also paid his respects:

The MMA magazine Fansided reported that “it appears as though he [Follis] took his own life,” though this has not been confirmed.

Follis left Xtreme Couture weeks before his passing. He trained many fighters, including former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Miesha Tate.

The Jiu-Jitsu Times would like to send its condolences to the family and friends of Coach Robert Follis.
