Former UFC champion, Francis Ngannou, has lost his 15-month-old son Kobe to the cold hands of death.
Ngannou confirmed the tragic news in an emotional social media post.
โToo soon to leave but yet heโs gone. My little boy, my mate, my partner Kobe was full of life and joy. Now, heโs laying without life. I shouted his name over and over but heโs not responding.
โI was my best self next to him and now I have no clue of who I am. Life is so unfair to hit us where it hurts the most.
โHow do you deal with such a thing? How can you live with it? Please help me if you have an idea because I really donโt know what to do and how to deal with this,โ he wrote.
The cause of Kobeโs death is yet to be made public.
Ngannou was billed to make his PFL debut against reigning champion, Renan Ferreira this summer, but that is now uncertain following the tragic news.
