Looks like cancer took him out. He's a total Jesus freak on Instagram.

If you ever listened to any of his interviews, there was never a nicer ambassador for the sport. His lone fight was the Royce fight, but he embraced MMA and his place of legend within it. RIP

Sad, he was slurring his speech a bit here:

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Guys, I'm really bummed about this. You listened to the man speak, and he was the kind of human you wanted on this planet. If you're good at reading people, maybe you, too, got the sense that there wasn't a bad bone in that man. I don't usually get bummed out about quasi-famous people passing on, everyone is going to do it, but Art was a real one. A genuinely good natured human being. This has ruined my day, and it hasn't even begun.

@HI SCOTT NEWMAN

Very sad news, RIP.

I'll never forget his 1 glove, he was the only person to ever do that in UFC, thats for sure!!. The legendary 1 glove.

Do you remember when they had him and other legends like Dan Severn at one of GSP's fights years back? and they were talking about all their experiences, it was great that UFC did that, I wish they got some of the old legends more involved (like they did with Mark Coleman recently) they deserve that.

Such sad news, RIP.
