MMA fighter Kyle “Boom” Reyes – who trained out of Randy Couture 's gym in Las Vegas – died on Monday … days after his family said he underwent surgery.
He was 30 years old.

Kyle – who lost to current UFC champ Alexander Volkanovski in 2014 – fought for different promotions across the world, and had a pro record of 15-7 at the time of his passing.
He trained out of Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas.
It’s unclear exactly what caused Kyle’s passing … but his family said he underwent surgery to repair a torn bicep and broken hand last Friday.
