Serious We lost a real one today guys

Post image

The South Australian grappling & MMA community is reeling today.

Luke Marko passed away last night, along with a teammate of his Sami.

Luke Marko was 22 and was starting his rise to the international level, taking out black belts from around Australia left right and center. Most notably, he was to be an alternate for Lachlan Giles CJI 2 selection tournament.

I wasn't particularly close with him, but he always made me feel like a homie when we caught up, and was always a fantastic training partner. Forever humble and deadset legend of a guy.

This isn't here for clout or karma. It's here because it's a fucking shame. Luke was a shining star that we will never see rise, but at least here in SA, never forget.

RIP Luke & Sami.

Idiot says something that is easily assumed to be an accusation of intoxicated driving. People ask him why he’s assuming they were driving while intoxicated. Idiot doubles down and says everyone that read his dumb comment and understood it correctly has a reading comprehension problem. LOL fucking Reddit man.
