Cat Zingano’s Husband Passes Away at Age 37

Sad news today as it has come out that Mauricio Zingano, husband of UFC fighter Cat Zingano, has passed away today at age 37. Cat Zingano was slated to fight Ronda Rousey at last month’s UFC 168 until a knee injury left her on the shelf for a while, the fight going instead to Miesha Tate. Mauricio Zingano owned two gyms under the Zingano BJJ name in the Denver area and was Cat Zingano’s head coach through the past few years.

We send our heartfelt condolences to the Zinango family at this time and urge for fans to respect their privacy during these tough times.
