Former UFC fighter Elias Theodorou died Sunday after a battle with cancer. He was only 34.

Theodorou had bravely battled stage 4 liver cancer...but chose to only share the diagnosis with people close to him.

Elias - an outgoing and lovable guy outside the cage - was one hell of a fighter on the inside. During his UFC years, Theodorou posted an 8-3 record with wins over Eryk Anders and Sam Alvey.

ET was also an advocate for the use of medical marijuana in combat sports...believing that the herb was safer and more beneficial than prescription drugs.

Elias last fought in December 2021...against Bryan Baker at Colorado Combat Club 10, where he won via unanimous decision. Overall, ET was 19-3 professionally.

In 2018, Theodorou became the first "ring boy"...when he was working for Invicta FC (all women's MMA promotions), strutting around the cage like Arianny Celeste.
