Music icon David Bowie died today after a 18-month long battle with liver cancer.
He was 69.
It’s no secret the iconic musician had a massive impact on culture and music. Many fans in the MMA community took the time today to tweet their regards, but it’s interesting that as of this writing the UFC has not officially tweeted anything.
Of course, that could change.
Welcome back to The Crossfire.
