Joe Riggs had to pull out of UFN 7 (Shamrock VS Ortiz) and some MMA message boards have comments posted that are quite insensitive surrounding his decision.
Joe buried his baby girl last month and his wife was rushed into emergency surgery this evening, according to one of his friends who posted a message from Joe on the mma.tv board.
Whether you are a fan of Joe’s or not, he and his family sure could use our thoughts and prayers at this time. Thanks…

Thoughts and prayers out to Joe and his family.
I met Joe at the Red Rock casino for fight night on spike tv, he is a class act and I wish him and his family the best in this tough time
[...] Joe Riggs is most likely not fighting as we reported earlier last week. Also, it looks like that Marquardt vs. Tanner fight I talked about at UFC 64 isn’t happening since Marquardt will be fighting here. I don’t know why Marquardt isn’t being given his fair shake in the Middleweigt division. It could be related to the whole steroid fiasco he went through previously. [...]
Diesel, my thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time. Take care of your family and yourself.
I’m a huge MMA/Joe Riggs fan. My wife and I have Joe, his wife, family and daughter in our prayers. Regardless of what nay-sayers mumble, you are one of the toughest in the sport. We’re certain you’ll be back on top in no time. God Bless.
