Death of amateur fighter after MMA event in Alberta raises questions [Video]

Members of Edmonton’s amateur fighting community are asking questions after a man competing at a charity mixed martial arts match died after the event.

The amateur fighting event, put on by U.K.-based Ultra MMA, took place Saturday, Nov. 23 at the Enoch Community Centre, on the First Nation directly west of Edmonton.

The First Nation said Ultra MMA privately rented the facility and hired their own staffing team.

Alberta Health Services confirmed EMS responded around 7:23 p.m. on November 23. An adult patient was transported to hospital in stable, non-life-threatening condition.

He later died, according to both Ultra MMA and people who participated in the event and spoke with Global News.
