Should the MMA Ban Elbows
Jabs to Grounded Opponents?
Article By: Phil Oscarson
A lot of MMA fans have learned to watch fighters dust
themselves off from a brutal knockout as if it never
happened. This was the tragic situation that happened
for the fighter Booto Guylain, who suffered a TKO loss
on February 27, 2014. Guylain, 29, was pronounced
dead on as a result of sustaining a severe brain injury
while participating in the Fighting Championships of
Johannesburg, South Africa, because of swelling and
bleeding in the brain.
