Diaz in Coma after collapsing in his corner before the 11th round.
This was on Wednesday night fights last night. Anyone that says MMA is more dangerous than boxing may need to rethink that.
A potential 36 minutes of fighting compared to 15 minutes (25 for title bouts). Yes, in MMA there is more than just throwing punches, but no one is going to die from a triangle or rear naked choke.
I've said this before, but the biggest difference between MMA and boxing is that no one in MMA gets hit in the head hundreds of times during the course of the match, and more importantly no one in MMA gets the opportunity to take a 10 count then get back up numerous times and continue to take punishment (this obviously results in no one getting critically injured in MMA).

Haven't we seen this several times before? Doesn't this normally happen with smaller guys who had trouble making weight and really worked to cut right before the fight.
Especially with these tinier guys, the just keep peppering each other in the head, jostling the brain around in the skull rather than knocking the guy down or out.
Very true. I'm not sure about that situation with Oscar Diaz. They did not make mention that he had to cut a lot of weight of that he was in a higher weight class in previous fights.
After checking he has always been between 139 and 147 in all his professional fights.
