Unfortunately this is not a hoax. I knew ronny well and trained with him for years. He was an MMA pioneer in the state of WI and in the Midwest. Fought in the UFC BodogFight the AFC and ran the Madtown Throwdown. Ronny past on Christmas Eve. Ron was a larger than life personality who was loved by everyone he knew. Ronny really was a pioneer who often spoke of driving six hours to the middle of Iowa to fight in a high school gyms. Having to pay a $50 entry fees to fight 4X in a night in the hopes of winning $500. As Ronny would say you didn't fight for fame or money, but to prove to yourself who you were as a man. Anyone who's ever made any $$ of this sport own Ronny & the men of his ilk a thank you for getting the sport we love off the ground

Thanks for sharing that, everything I've ever heard about Ron was always positive. I remember how stoked I was when I found out that a guy that I saw fight at "mad town throw down", and lived in the neighboring town was signed and fighting in the UFC.
God's Speed Ron!
I think that everybody who knew Ron loved the guy. He was a solid fighter, a good man, and a surprisingly talented artist. (So talented he could have made a career of it.) This is such a bummer.
RIP Ron.

Ron was a great guy. One of the most open and friendly fighters I encountered over the years. RIP
