Report: Jordan Parsons' full leg amputated due to preliminary organ failure

According to reports, Bellator MMA fighter Jordan Parsons had his full leg amputated Sunday night due to preliminary organ failure, following a hit-and-run accident this past weekend.

Bellator MMA lightweight Jordan Parsons was the victim of a tragic hit-and-run accident early Sunday morning. The accident occurred in Delray Beach, Florida between the hours of 12:00am and 1:00am local time. The local police department have not found the driver of the vehicle that caused the accident, however they have discovered what model of vehicle it is.

Parsons, who is currently in a coma, suffered a partial leg amputation in the accident. MMAFighting.com's Ariel Helwani reported Monday that Parsons' full right leg was amputated on Sunday night because he was suffering from preliminary organ failure.

Helwani also added that, at the time of his Tweet (Monday afternoon), Parsons was undergoing heart surgery.

At the time of the report, the surgery was expected to be over by around 6:00pm ET on Monday. It is unclear whether or not the surgery is complete at the time of the writing of this article. Keep it locked to BloodyElbow.com for the latest in this situation.

Parsons was scheduled to face Adam Piccolotti at Bellator 154 next weekend. A replacement will not be sought for Piccolotti, according to Bellator MMA officials.
