"You pursued your dreams in America as an MMA fighter, Guilherme Bomba, Brazilian champion, but we don't think that she would also take you on a journey of no return, without any of us around. We were waiting for you to come for Christmas that will no longer happen. Life is a breath and we wake up to this heartbreaking news. What times we are living in We are praying for you! May the God who is able receive you in His infinite mercy and comfort all of us who have always loved you unconditionally!" Vasconcelos Jr. concluded.

He previously got his start in the MMA in his home country of Brazil. He then transitioned to professional and spent seven years in UFC. He accumulated 10 wins before he retired form the sport in 2019.
His fame rose to new heights when he dated Lovato in 2017. Though their relationship was brief, a source told E! News that there was no "bad blood" between the former couple. They simply realized that they're just "not meant to be a couple."
Lovato went on to clear all pictures of Vasconcelos from her social media accounts after the split.
She has not spoken about his passing as of this reporting.
