MMA Fighter Dies After Fight

I have to admit I love all sports. Everything from MMA to bowling. I haven't always felt this way but as I age and become slower, I seem to appreciate any athletic ability, even if it is throwing a ball down a lane.

However, when it comes to Mixed Martial Arts there is a large attraction for me. Even though it is a bloody aggressive sport, and people get hurt. There seems to be enough drama with the creation of the Ultimate Fighter and the dedication it takes to step in the octagon.

I also know it is not for everyone! I read somewhere that the attraction is waining a little bit even with the explosion of the UFC. I don't see the sport leaving prime time any time soon, but I don't see it lasting any longer than the poker craze did. But who knows it might just replace WWE?

However recently the sport suffered a blow when a tragic death occurred. Sam Vasquez of Houston, TX may have become the first fighter to die from injuries sustained in mixed martial arts competition in North America.

Dave Meltzer, at Yahoo! Sports has a full article you can read on the tragedy.

I want to start by sending my sympathy to the family and have zero desire to make light of what happened. There is nothing that can replace someones life and it is a tragedy when it is cut short by a sport.

What I do want to explore is if this death is going to effect MMA in anyway. I wonder what the backlash will be for those who hate the sport or even for those who love the sport. Will this mans death effect it in either way.

I understand that this sport carries an enormous risk! But I also understand that these guys train like crazy and know what they are doing. They have strong camps that teach these guys how to fight and avoid injury as much as you can in a fighting sport.

The sport has improved in its safety and officiating, just compare matches from five years ago to those you see today, you will immediately notice all the changes.

However, that does not help this situation. The sport is fought in a cage and filled with cheers from every hit that lands on someones face and we love to watch the knock outs.

So I wonder, with perhaps the first death in MMA fighting in North America, will the sport suffer and take a hit, or will it continue on without any recourse? What do you think?

Should we rent a really nice place that doesn't hold a lot of people for an MMA event or the opposite?

We're putting together a large MMA event. We can either rent a beautiful ballroom for a lot of money but it has limited capacity. However, I'm not sure we would fill it. Versus getting a nastier place with higher capacity that holds more people and is cheaper. What do you think?

I'd definitely say the higher capacity one. You most likely won't attract any more people in a nicer venue, and people won't be willing to pay much more because of it either. The worst thing that could happen would be for you to have to turn paying customers away due to seating, you're killing your profit. I've been to about a half dozen small shows in the metro Detroit area, and my favorite one was in a shady bar that had a stage where a cage was built. Most fight fans don't care about how classy of a place the fights are at. Make sure you have entertaining fights, talented fighters, good/even match ups, an exciting presentation (entrance music, fighter intros, etc.) and fair refereeing and judges, that's what will attract people, not a fancy venue.

Newark MMA event chance to show N.Y. what it's missing
The UFC will be staging a sold-out mixed martial arts show next Saturday at the Prudential Center in Newark. Naturally, it wants to make New York envious. Of the 48 states that have athletic commissions, New York remains one of just four that doesn't sanction MMA -- along with...
