    Apparently there was a another one this year in Bolivia, so there are now four (I believe)

    Recently a guy from Urijah Faber's gym was rendered paralyzed from the neck down in training. I know that's a very different circumstance, but it's still awful.

    Damn, I hope he was insured or the event was for this thing for the sake of his family. Always sad to hear

    Be surprised if he was. The deaths iv read about were mostly in bush leagues.
