MMA fighter dies after reported weight cut complications

It's the biggest weekend probably 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 today but the contest was called off on after Bing suffered health complications before the weigh-in. 21-year-old Bing was taken to hospital but it's being reported that he 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 concern about those trying to make weight for contests inside the cage.
