Former PRIDE Fighting Championships competitor Hans Nijman was reportedly murdered in a drive-by shooting in the Netherlands.
Various local news outlets are reporting that Nijman, who allegedly had ties to Dutch organized crime, was shot and killed while sitting in front of his gym in his car.
It appears that the assailants used automatic weapons to murder Nijman, before taking off and burning their cars in a nearby town after the shooting.
Nijman competed in PRIDE in the year 2000 against Japanese star Kazuyuki Fujita, losing the bout via submission. His most recent MMA fight was against Cheick Kongo, whom he lost to in 2003.
