Career
Legacy FC and regional heavyweight, and the younger brother of UFC fighter Cody East. He was killed on 7 April 2021 in Los Lunas at the age of 30. Police said East shot his girlfriend during a domestic dispute and dragged her from the residence; another man at the property shot East, who died at the scene. His girlfriend survived. Any profile of him carries both halves of that.
