Varia: Trzeci zgon w MMA – RIP Sammy Vasquez

Smutna sprawa. Mamy kolejny, trzeci zgon w MMA. Sammy Vasquez, 35 letni zawodnik pochodzący z Houston zmarł po nokaucie podczas sankcjonowanej walki MMA. Nie wiadomo jaka była przyczyna zgodnu. Vasquez po nokaucie jeszcze wstał, po czym stracił przytomność. Walka ta miała miesce 20 paździenika. Po walce został przewieziony do szpitala, gdzie stoczył 47-dniową walkę o swoje życie. Sammy przegrał ten jeden ostatni raz.

(generalnie każdy uważa, że to 2gi przypadek po pierwszym na Ukrainie; nie jest to prawda – wyjaśniamy to poniżej)

Jak wyglądały do tej pory zgony w MMA i jak to sie ma do innych dyscyplin. Sajo przygotował krótkie zestawienie:

Korea is notorious for its lax medical standards. In most instances, the onus is placed entirely on the fighters to look out for their own safety; the Korean government currently leaves it up to the fighters to deem for themselves whether they are fit to compete or not.

In fact, Korea witnessed its first MMA related death at a Gimme 5 event (now known as Neofight) in 2005. The cause of death was due to brain hemorrhaging after the fight, but many blamed the death on the promotion’s inadequate medical standards.

Despite this shocking death, not much has changed since: at MMA events today, only one or two general practitioners, who do not have much experience in dealing with MMA-related injuries, are dispatched from local hospitals.

“After all the goal in boxing is to punch you opponent in the head until he is unconscious. This is not the goal in our sport. There are many other ways to win. Since 1900 their have been over 1000 documented deaths in boxing. There has been 1 in MMA in 70 years. That was in Russia at an unsanctioned event. Ironically the death was caused by strikes to the head.” MMA przecież to nie tylko UFC, ale też Vale Tudo

„Ironically, one such death in the sport of boxing, the 1995 death of Jimmy Garcia, was witnessed by Senator John McCain, as he sat ringside. Strangely, Senator McCain remains a fan of boxing”
