The 25-year old has been hit by a motor vehicle at Delray Beach, Florida on Sunday morning and had to have the bottom half of his right leg amputated. He is now listed in critical condition at Delray Medical Center according to Blackzillians teammate Rashad Evans.
Bellator released a statement suggesting Delray Beach authorities are seeking info from anybody who may have witnessed the accident. “Bellator has been informed of a terrible accident that occurred last night involving featherweight fighter Jordan Parsons, who had been struck by an automobile in a hit-and-run incident,” the announcement read. “We are still in the process of uncovering details and with his family’s approval, hope to have an update on his medical condition shortly. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jordan and his family as he recovers. The hit-and-run happened on Lindell Blvd. and South Federal Highway at Delray Beach, Florida. Anyone with information regarding this incident is requested to call the Delray Beach Police Department in -LRB-561-RRB-??243-7800.” Parsons (12-2) has been scheduled to combat Adam Piccolotti in Bellator 154 at San Jose on May 14. It’s likely Piccolotti will not have a replacement competitor and the bout will be scrapped. I interviewed Parsons last week before his Bellator 154 matchup and he was excited about the move back up to lightweight. On behalf of myself and the remainder of the MMAOddsBreaker.com group, I’d love to send my well wishes to Jordan, his family and his teammates through this challenging moment.
