Then those doctors are fucking morons since it is highly plausible he had an Vertebral artery dissection or Carotid artery dissection or VBI that CAUSED the subdural hemorrhage. he died as a direct cause of the fight.

I just read that an autopsy was done and it was found that he "died of a subdural hemorrhage due to blunt force head trauma related to an injury approximately a week prior."

Apparently he seemed fine immediately after the fight, and watched he next two fights before going into a seizure. Doctors watched the footage of the fight and said that nothing happened that should have caused this, but think that the fight may have possibly triggered a brain aneurysm. That's what I've read anyway.

Yeah, had this been sanctioned properly along with the necessity of most amateur MMA fighting, doctor's orders would've been to let his brain recover from the severe KO he'd suffered not much earlier than this fight. All my condolences to his loved ones...

Hopefully this won't be in vain and amateur MMA will be more closely regulated for the benefit of the fighters' health and safety.

He fought 4 times this year(including this fight). Two fights before this one, he was KO'd. If it was regulated, he would have received a much-needed 90-day medical suspension. ...which means his next two fights wouldn't have happened(when they did). It pains me to hear about this.
