Sean Gannon tragically passed away. He absolutely loved combat sports and this forum. I would talk to Sean almost daily, and one of the repetitive topics was “did you see (insert post) on the UG?!”
He was the best man I ever had the privilege of knowing. He’d ask everyone in any gym to “save some love for the big man”, wanting to train or spar but never bullied anyone. Valhalla got a new contender and please show some love for the big man one final time.
Rest in Peace
RIP Sean.
Thoughts and prayers to his friends and family!
RIP. I had no idea. I always loved interacting with him here.
RIP
RIP.
Was a big asset to this forum for many years.
Rip
Man, sorry to hear that. RIP
Wrong Gannon?
i just googled him, he is the one that beat kimbo? wow, so sad. rip sean.
Awww shit
Sad news,
And a UG’er who will be missed
Correct
Good man. Told me all about the genetics of domestic dogs because someone asked him about the uppercut. Certainly unique. But a nice guy. RIP
Yeah I think this is a different Gannon with same first name … That also happened to be a police officer
And who also was in mass. Weird.
Were they related
RIP Cannon
This was Sean Gannon the former police officer, boxer and MMA fighter. He passed last night. The Sean Gannon who was killed a few years ago was no relation.
Fucking sad RIP.
Was hoping this was not true.
He was always polite and nice on the forum.
Maybe it was just because I did not know him in person or was not in his circles but always had a way about him that you got the feeling he always knew more about subjects and people than he would completely reveal.
Smart guy, you could tell very smart.
Not because of his fights but for other reasons he added weight to this place, legitimacy, dare I call it a form of street cred for life.
We need this thread over on the OG also, as many people that focus on the OG interacted with him as well.
RIP
