Guilherme 'Bomba' Vasconcelos: Former UFC fighter and ex-boyfriend of Demi Lovato dies at 38

The Brazilian athlete, a known figure in the mixed martial arts (MMA) community, died in Los Angeles, but the cause of his death remains unknown.

Just less than 24 hours before his passing, Vasconcelo posted a photo outside his Jiu-Jitsu studio, offering no indication of the tragedy that would soon follow.

Breaking the news of his death, his uncle wrote: "We were looking forward to your visit for Christmas, which will no longer happen. Life is fleeting, and we woke up to this devastating news. What a time we live in...We pray for you! May God, who can do all things, welcome you in His infinite mercy and comfort all who have always loved you!"

Vasconcelos had a professional MMA career spanning seven years, during which he built a record of 10 wins and six losses. Outside the cage, he was also known for his relationship with singer Lovato. The two were first seen together in 2017, ringing in the New Year side by side and attending events together. However, their romance ended in May 2018, with reports indicating that the relationship had "run its course."

At the time of his passing, Brazilian media outlets reported that Vasconcelos left behind a one-year-old daughter, whom he shared with model Kayla Lauren.
