Former UFC Fighter Tim Hague in Coma Following Boxing KO Loss
Posted: 17 Jun 2017, 17:22
In a boxing match last night, former UFC fighter, Tim Hague was knocked out in the second round by former CFL player (and now 7-1 pro boxer) Adam Braidwood. As a result of the KO Hague is now in a coma.
Tim Hague is 1-4 in his last five MMA fights, each of those four losses being KOs. Going into this boxing match he was also 1-2 in pro boxing. He'd lost his last two boxing bouts, with one of those boxing bouts being a stoppage.
If this story hits the mainstream, people will want to draw parallels to the up coming Mayweather/McGregor fight. While that may be the obvious thing to do it's not the story.
The story is that Tim Hague went into a boxing match last night having been stopped five times by KO/TKO in combat sportscompetition since August 2015. That's the regulatory failure. That's the scandal.

Update on UFC veteran Tim Hague following brain injury from KO

Saturday morning, unfortunate news surfaced regarding UFC veteran Tim Hague, who was placed in the Intensive Care Unit following a devastating knockout in a boxing match Friday evening.
Hague hit the canvas extremely hard, forcing the referee to stop the fight. While he regained consciousness following the knockout, he was then placed in the Intensive Care Unit with what was being described as a brain injury. While no further details were immediately given, Hague’s friend and fellow fighter Cody Krahn gave an update on Hague’s condition via Facebook, saying:
“As many of you know, Tim suffered a severe knockout in his boxing match last night.
Once we got Tim backstage and with the doctor we could tell he needed to go to the hospital.
Tim is currently in a coma. He had to have surgery to [relieve] the pressure from his brain bleeding. But because we’re not family, they weren’t ale to tell us much more.
I’ll be going back to the Royal Alex this afternoon to see if his family will allow me to visit him.”
