MMA fighter dies after reported weight cut complications

It's the biggest weekend ever of UFC action.

However, away from the mega million dollar promotion in Las Vegas, which kicked of last night, worrying reports today suggest an MMA fighter in Manila may have died from complications trying to make weight. Geje Eustaquio and Yan Jian Bing were due to fight at ONE Spirit of Champions event in Manila but the contest was called off after Bing suffered health complications before the weigh-in. Bing, 21, was taken to hospital and was pronounced dead just hours after being taken into care. The death of the flyweight was confirmed by ONE supremo Victor Cui on his Facebook page:

Bing's death is believed to be the first recorded fatality of an MMA fighter in the growing market of Asia and will raise more concerns over those trying to make weight for contests inside the cage.
