Jordan Breen, who was regarded as one MMA media’s most brilliant
minds during his time in the industry, has tragically passed
away.

MMAjunkie.com senior reporter Mike Bohn, a longtime friend, brought
word of Breen’s death in a social media post on Monday. Further details
surrounding his passing are currently unknown. Breen’s 38th
birthday was on Sunday.

“Jordan had a huge part in making Sherdog the best and a pivotal
role in shaping MMA coverage for what it is today. He will be
deeply missed,” Sherdog.com founder Jeff Sherwood told Sherdog.

A native of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, Breen started at Sherdog
in 2006 as a reporter and feature news columnist. When he joined
the Sherdog Radio Network in 2007, “The Jordan Breen Show” quickly
became a must listen for diehard fans of the sport. He became the
site’s administrative editor in 2010, and his work as curator of
the FightFinder was pivotal in helping make it the premiere
database in the sport today. In addition to Sherdog, Breen’s work
was found in outlets such a ESPN.com, the New York Times, Tatame
Magazine, Portal do Vale Tudo, Fighters Only Magazine and Bloody
Elbow. He also appeared in the commentary booth for Strikeforce and
Tachi Palace Fights.

„Jordan Breen was one of a kind. I knew that shortly after asking
him to contribute to Sherdog’s Japanese coverage all those years
ago,” said former Sherdog Executive Editor Josh Gross. “I always
considered him capable of doing whatever he wanted. Rest in peace,
Breen, you’re gone far too soon.”

Breen’s last official byline for Sherdog was in September 2018,
when he authored play-by-play for Bellator 218. During his tenure
with the site, few were as passionate about the sport as Breen, and
he made a lasting impact on virtually anyone who crossed his path.
He lived his life, as he stated in his bio, “as an MMA
obsessee.”
