How will the UFC react to the first death in MMA?

[The Nimble Guru]

Michael Kirkham died, too.

Bisping look like he was dead ?

erm, have u never seen a ko before ? gtfo u racist ****

yeah, that was what i was thinking too. if someone dies in a sport. people just forget about it and move on like in any other sport. i think there have been more deaths in boxing than in the ufc. since the ufc started.

Every sport is dangerous...



That dude almost died on the ice...




Same thing for Richard Zednik.

Hendo was a dip**** that night. He confessed he knew bisping was unconscious but shot him just "to shut him up".

Bisping was trash talking a lot in the TUF show where they were the coaches. He did the same against Wanderlei... He's a dirty fighter just like 90% of the members of Team Quest.

That isn't the norm in MMA. Its rare to see dirty fighters nowadays... When fighters know their opponents are out they stop before even the referee ends the match.

see:
Nate Marquardt vs. Demian Maia:


Shogun vs. Machida:


Paulo Thiago vs. Koscheck


Answering your question: If a death occurred in the UFC 8 years ago then it would probably be the end of the MMA in the States. Today it wont hurt the sport much...
