The 25-year old has been hit by a motor vehicle in Delray Beach, Florida on Sunday morning and had to have the bottom half of the right leg amputated. He’s now listed in critical condition at Delray Medical Center based on Blackzillians teammate Rashad Evans.
Bellator published a statement suggesting Delray Beach police are searching for info from anybody who may have witnessed the crash. “Bellator was advised of a terrible accident that occurred last night between featherweight fighter Jordan Parsons, who had been struck by an automobile at a shout incident,” the statement read. “We’re still in the process of discovering details and together with his family’s approval, expect to have an update on his medical condition soon. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jordan and his family as he recovers. The hit-and-run occurred 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 at -LRB-561-RRB-??243-7800.” Parsons (12-2) has been scheduled to combat Adam Piccolotti in Bellator 154 in San Jose on May 14.
