Shane Del Rosario Obituary
The UFC announced Del Rosario's death.
Del Rosario had been hospitalized in his native Orange County since Nov. 26. His manager, Jason House, said the fighter's doctors believe he had a congenital heart disorder.
Del Rosario had been a professional mixed martial artist since 2006, also competing in kickboxing and muay thai competitions. He won his first 11 pro MMA bouts before moving last year to the UFC, where he lost his first two fights.
He was scheduled to fight at UFC 168 on Dec. 28, but pulled out last month with a rib injury.
Del Rosario graduated from UC Irvine and trained with Team Oyama in Irvine.

Shane and I rehab'd together at ACIC while he recovered from the car accident. Despite being disappointed and frustrated about what had happened, he was super cool and always smiling as he listened to his music. Just wish I kept in touch with him after ACIC. God bless Shane, his ohana, and his friends. Like a true warrior, he fought until the very end.

"Gone too soon" It is so very very difficult to lose our love ones. There is very little that can be said that will bring you immediate comfort. Please accept my sincere sympathy along with these words of comfort: "he heals the brokenhearted ; he binds up their wounds." Psalm 147:3
