It appears as if, unfortunately, the first death in the short history of MMA will be occurring in the near future. Not to minimalize the health situation of this guy and what his family is going through, but this was somewhat inevitable. I am sure there will be some degree of outcry. Of course, deaths happen every year in high school football, but it isn't a sport under scrutiny. It looks now as if Mr. Vasquez was suffering from a blood clot before his Oct. 20th bought in Houston. I hope he pulls through, but being moved to a hospice is not a great sign for improvement.
Update: Mr. Vasquez died today. He had a wife and a son. It appears as if he had a preexisting medical condition.
