He didn't die in the ring. It happened elsewhere.

I remember watching him when I was a kid. He was a little guy then a few years later had packed on massive muscle.

Granted he did not die in the ring, but was he actually having a heart attack or was he putting on a show? I read the link Stiffy put up and went looking for more information on it, and still all I get is people arguing with each other as to whether this was for real or just an act. If it was an act, I think (in my opinion) it has crossed the line as having a heart attack is not a joking/acting matter..., especially in a place where everyone is basically acting in that ring.

Worst head knock I ever head was when I was pissed, fell over hit my head on the dunny. Woke up convulsing.


Punches and tackles are nothing compared to a dunny.

That is one of the weirdest feelings. When you are conscious or semi conscious and can feel yourself convulsing.
 
What's the argument about?

hack boxers and martial artists worked out a way to earn a buck, rednecks love it.
 
MMA was going long before the UFC. UFC just made it more globally popular.
 
It's boxing for thugs, gives them an excuse to beat someone up
It's a bit like YouTube, gives otherwise talentless nobodies a shot at fame

Terrible argument.

How does participating in a sport make you a thug. You could make the argument MMA is much more complicated than boxing. You have many more disciplines and techniques you have to lean.

The YouTube argument is just as bad. You could say that about any sport or anything that makes people famous for that matter.

Freestyle Wrestling in VERY big in the U.S. Most of these guys nowadays are College Athletes who turned to MMA.

The Brazilians are the poor ones, "fighting their way out of the hood".
