    Someone finally dies in MMA... Boxing still much more dangerous with all the constant head punching boxers take over 12 rounds.. MMA is still much safer...

    http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Joao-Carvalho-132759

    This guy was unknown, no telling what kind of beatings he took in training in Brazil leading up... There could have been a brain bleed leak prior to this fight going down.. He only had 5 pro fights..

    That's too bad... Shit happens though..

    Testing a fighter BEFORE the fight is big too...I'm not saying he didnt die from the fight....but it may have also been from weight cut ect....there is a lot that goes into this......just sad

    Boxing is not more dangerous it's a myth. Boxing has had more deaths. Because Boxing has been around 120 + years. The impact of these little mma gloves cause more trauma to the brain. Look up fighters on the UFC with more than 20 fights or more. . They burnout faster then pro boxers.

    MMA has been around for a long time now and people don't die in this sport.. Once in every blue moon like this dude but that's it....

    MMA fighters get hit with the small gloves or kicked in the head they go out cold.. Wake up with a headache and not a bleeding brain.. You get wars in boxing that could last 30 minutes of being punched in the head constantly.. That doesn't happen in MMA as most fights are only 3 rounds.. Boxing has had many deaths occur from brain trama, MMA not the case..

    MMA has more fights now as well as the sport is growing so yes a sure a death will happen every once in a great while.. Much like NFL in a sense or any other sport..

    MMA is far more safer then boxing.. I'm waiting for a severe spinal injury in MMA to happen leaving a fighter paralyzed from the neck down.. That's just a matter of time IMO..

    Mma is more dangerous due to the weight cutting culture

    500 reported deaths in boxing since the sport started recording them 100 years ago..

    Here is 51 deaths recorded in recent times in boxing.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catego...ined_in_boxing

    I remember watching live and seeing that Korean dude die against Boom Boom Mancini.. Dude took a massive beating and simply collapsed and died in the ring after getting knocked down flat on his back... I was like WOW!!! The ref of the fight committed suicide a month later ironically too..

    This is the fight and at the 6:29 minute mark in vid is probably the one punch that probably killed him.. He collapsed and died shortly after..

    As long as there's good refs in the UFC unlike Mike Mazzagatti. Then the UFC can prevent the first death in the octagon.

    Talking about refs killing themselves - remember that ref from the Tyson vs Holyfield 1 fight? I think his name was Mitch Halpern - what was that about?
