What a tragedy, hope his family is doing well.
That assumes people are influenced by rational arguments. Likely it will result in some 'regulation' of the sport.
I don't think they were referring to this particular incident...just linking topics in reference to Aldana's death.
Meh, I sort of follow all fighting, from boxing to UFC to people beating each other with towels. It's one of the few things I still watch on television. I honestly don't follow it closely. I don't care to know who the people are, that they are kicking the **** out of each other is enough for me. One on one sports were always my favorite to play and watch. No team bull****, you either win or lose on your own. Watching now gets my blood up like when I was younger and could play basketball or racquetball all day and into the night and not wake up with my knees feeling like someone was hammering them all night with a steel mallet. Curse the day you realize you're getting old, Rogue, and people start dying on you, like Gilbert, and you wonder who the **** is gonna take care of his kids now.
Like EZE said, we're not referring to this incident. We're speaking of the first in ring or directly related to a fight death that will almost inevitably occur. What's your take on that, big fella?
Once more that assumes rationality counts for anything, which it does but you have to know how to apply it. What would be relevant is not the amount of deaths in the MMA, but whether or not anyone has anything to gain from regulating it, or if someone has something to lose by not regulating it.
