Bron : MMA fighter Michael Kirkham dies after pro debut - Game On!: Covering the Latest Sports NewsA 30-year-old MMA fighter has died from head injuries after making his professional debut Saturday in South Carolina, according to TV station WRDW.
Michael Kirkham, from Gaston, S.C. was pronounced dead this morning at Aiken Regional Medical Center. He was struck in the head several times during the bout, was unresponsive when transported and never regained consciousness before dying from a brain hemorrhage, according to WRDW.
Kirkham had fought six times in MMA events as an amateur. He was a lightweight who stood 6-9, and was nicknamed "Tree."
The event's promoter, Sam King, told MMAFighting.com that, "Obviously our thoughts and prayers are with his family, other than that I have no comment."
Fanhouse.com says Kirkham is the second fighter to die from injuries suffered in a regulated MMA fight in the U.S. The other was Sam Vasquez, in 2007, in Houston, who died after being in a coma for 42 days.

Een lichtgewicht die 6 ft 9 in is(205cm), klopt dat wel? Dan ben je echt een spriet...misschien deel van het probleem geweest, echt veel massa om klappen te vangen heb je dan niet.

Dat is idd ook wel echt weinig. Corey Hill in UFC is 6'4 als een lightweight en dat ziet er al freaky uit.
