Bellator MMA Fighter Jordan Parsons Loses Leg After Gruesome Accident
Bellator MMA featherweight division fighter Jordan Parsons is in critical condition after he was involved in a horrific hit-and-run accident in Delray Beach, Fla., on Sunday morning, according to the Delray Beach Police Department.
MMAFighting.com’s Ariel Helwani reported that the crash was so severe that the 25-year-old was forced to have his entire right leg amputated.
What’s worse is that Parsons’ organs are on the verge of failing.
And his heart was only working at 20%. He's currently having heart surgery and that should last another hour or so, per Robinson.

According to police, Parsons was crossing an intersection by foot early Sunday morning when a vehicle believed to be a silver Range Rover Sport struck the fighter and fled.
Police are still searching for the driver involved in the hit-and-run.
Parsons, who was 11-2 lifetime in MMA, had his next Bellator match scheduled for May 14 canceled following the incident.
