Interesting conclusion.

I do think that sometimes he is excited or winded from body shots. He has a huge drive to win - and when he sees an opening he puts everything he has into it.

Looking back, maybe he should have paid for the insurance? It's a completely stupid thing to not do.

That's awful. At least they're not blaming the sport though.

Ah I feel horrible for the guy.

Wish him the fullest possible recovery.

EDIT: For those who dont want to watch the video because you cant stomach it..it was basically shooting for a takedown while the opponent was going for a guillotine on the way down. and his head hit the mat sorta like Maynerd KOing himself in that one takedown if my memory serves me. It didnt look that bad but obviously is horrible.

This is a very sad thing for him and his family to have to endure. I hope he recovers and raises the money he needs to pay his bills.
