These Bodybuilders And Fighters Almost Died While Training

Teenage Girl Dies A Day Before Fight

When it comes to contact sports, weight cutting is the go-to preparation method in order to be a more effective fighter. But as we’ve already learned, too much weight cutting can have some deadly consequences. Jessica Lindsay was an 18-year-old kickboxer out of Australia. In the days leading up to her fight in November 2017, she posted frequently on her Instagram account about her preparations stating that she felt “fit and healthy.” While out on a run, she collapsed due to severe dehydration and died in the hospital four days later. Unfortunately, this is something that happens to many athletes who try to cut their weight.
