These Bodybuilders And Fighters Almost Died While Training

“It’s One Of The Worst Aspects Of MMA”

Chinese MMA fighter Yang Jian Bing was just 21-years-old when he passed away due to heart failure. Scheduled to fight in ONE Championship 35 back in 2015, the match had to be canceled when Bing was taken to the hospital after suffering severe dehydration and suspected heat stroke due to excessive weight cutting. Even UFC broadcaster said this upon hearing about Bing’s death in 2015: “That’s the second weight cutting death I know of in the past year or so. It’s one of the worst aspects of MMA.” Researchers found that MMA fighters often suffer serious bouts of dehydration the day after weighing in for a fight.
