"Jordan was a guy of great character, amazing work ethic, 100 percent committed to trying to be the best he could possibly be," Melanson told ESPN.com. "We met out in San Diego and hit it off. When I took the job at Blackzilians, he moved here. There aren't too many fighters willing to follow a coach like that. He was an athlete, a hard worker and he had a great attitude.”

According to him, Parson was crossing the street with his headphones on when the silver Range Rover struck him and fled the scenes. Delray Beach Police are still working to identify a suspect.

Parson was only 25 and had a great boxing career ahead of himself. The death of this Featherweight MMA fighter has greatly struck the sports industry and just prior to his match on 14th May in San Jose, California.
