Heartbroken hearing about the passing of Jordan Breen.
A walking, talking MMA encyclopedia. As eccentric, colorful and unique a character MMA media has ever seen.
And more importantly, a good dude with a big heart.
His presence has been missed as of late, and it’s a tragedy…

You were lucky if you experienced what The SRN was during it’s time. If you missed out here’s a taste.
The news of Breen’s passing is really hard to process. Jordan was one of my favorite people to ever have had the pleasure to work with.https://t.co/GO0mroWLkv
