The mixed martial artist was rammed by a bus while he was on his way back from a training session. Even though the fire department quickly reached the scene and attended to the fighter’s injuries, his condition was apparently beyond saving. The 29-year-old bid farewell to the world as he was being rushed to Hospital Rocha Faria, in Campo Grande. 

The unfortunate news deeply saddened the entire universe of combat sports. The former UFC heavyweight champion, Ciryl Gane, and the former UFC lightweight champion, Charles Oliveira, expressed their grief on social media. Without a doubt, the heartbreaking news has greatly dampened the spirits of the combat sports world.

The post showed Corales controlling a thug with a rear-naked choke, as well as another picture where he submitted Alioune Nahaye with a rear-naked choke, at Ares FC 12. Gane added ‘peace’, ‘red heart’ and ‘crying face’ emojis in the story.
