interesting post cal, wouldnt have heard about this otherwise probably. sad. both men we're probably being dumb and racing.
Damn, this is one of the Tapout guys. Dude in the middle. I saw him last month at the UFC card here in Tampa. http://www.tapout.com
yeah im not a big fan of these guys and what they do or are about. thought they repped the type of US fan that made us shameful in comparison to Japan during the rise of mma. they aim for that hardcore, tough guy image, without any of them stepping into the ring(to my knowledge). but this is sad no less.
Just me or have quite a few of these dudes died recently? And isn't it ironic it hasn't been happening in the ring?
Its certainly sad but dude, when you are going fast enough that when you wreck a light poll cuts your car in half then you probably kinda brought it on yourself.
They probably do, but if you are pushing 150 and hit something sidways there isnt a heck of a lot an air bag is going to do. I mean the story doesnt say how fast they were actually going but it had to be up there.
It would certainly seem so, but MMA (the UFC flavor anyway) is actually pretty safe when compared to other combat sports.
