Former UFC fighter Suman Mokhtarian gunned down in targeted Sydney attack linked to underworld feud

#gridsparta #bikies #ufc Tributes are pouring in for 33-year-old former UFC fighter and Australian Top Team coach Suman Mokhtarian, who was shot dead in what police believe was a targeted hit in Sydney’s northwest. Mokhtarian was ambushed by gunmen in a red Audi while walking along Annaluke Street in Riverstone on October 8, with around 14 rounds fired in an execution-style attack. The burning of two nearby vehicles shortly after the shooting has led detectives to suspect the involvement of organized crime. Mokhtarian, who had previously survived an assassination attempt outside his gym in 2024, was allegedly entangled in Sydney’s criminal underworld through connections to the Alameddine network, reportedly over a multimillion-dollar “drug rip.” Despite his controversial ties, Mokhtarian was widely respected in the MMA community for his coaching and fighting career. His death has reignited concerns over Sydney’s wave of gang-related violence and serves as a grim reminder of how the lines between sport and the underworld can dangerously blur.
