LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A mixed martial arts fighter has died after losing a match in Kentucky.
Gary Thomas of Hardrock MMA promotions, which put on the event, told The Courier-Journal that 37-year-old Donshay White of Radcliff, Kentucky, died Saturday after competing in a heavyweight match in Louisville against challenger Ricky Muse.
Thomas said White collapsed in the locker room after the fight and was taken to a hospital.
Thomas said officials called the match in Muse's favor two minutes into the second round.
