Fourth Fatality for Modern MMA

Modern mixed martial arts received another inevitable-but-unwelcome addition to the list of fatalities associated with the sport. Canadian Rene Ayangma, 20, was training for his second professional fight when he went into cardiac arrest after finishing a sparring session. Stories here and here. I’ll do a full post after Wednesday’s autopsy results are released.

  1. It is bound to happen in any extreme sport but overall it is one of the most primal and personal sports and should be continued for years to come.

    Better to have it in the cage then outside of it.
