According to a report from Sportbox, Ramin Zeynalov, a mixed martial arts fighter from Azerbaijan, died in the cage during a national MMA event in his home country earlier this week.

The 27-year-old seemingly suffered a devastating blow to the head, which lead to his collapse on the canvas. Doctors were unable to revive him and quickly pronounced his death.

You have to wonder how much weight cutting (dehydration) plays a role in incidents like this.

No, he wasn't spiked. The quality of the video wasn't great but it looked like the back of his head might have hit hard. It was kind of weird.
