Former UFC and BKFC fighter Geane Herrera has died. Herrera, 33, was killed in a motorcycle crash Saturday in Tampa, Fla., after he struck the back of a Jeep Grand Cherokee. While a Florida Highway Patrol spokesperson would not release the motorcycle driver’s name, his description of the incident corroborates with multiple social media reports, including posts from individuals who said they are Herrera’s family members. BKFC, Herrera’s most recent combat sports promotion, announced his death Sunday . The Florida Highway Patrol confirmed to MMA Junkie that the driver was traveling at a “high rate of speed” and was thrown “several hundred feet” before the motorcycle burst into flames. Herrera was pronounced dead on scene.
