http://www.sportsjoe.ie/mma/portugu...owing-injuries-suffered-at-dublin-event/74022 MMA fans in Ireland and across the world are in mourning following confirmation that Joao Carvalho has passed away from injuries sustained in a cage fighting event in Dublin last weekend. The Portuguese fighter was in action on Saturday night against Charlie Ward at the Total Extreme Fighting event at the National Stadium. He lost the match by TKO, but shortly afterwards complained of feeling ill and was rushed to Beaumont Hospital where he died late Monday night.
As you might expect this is exactly the kind of incident that will make things difficult for MMA going forward in Ireland.
