Welcome to Midnight Mania!
UFC veteran James Vick (13-6) has taken a whole lot of harm within the latter stage of his profession.
Vick started his UFC profession with a whole lot of success. An Final Fighter (TUF) veteran, the Texan gained 9 of his first ten bouts contained in the Octagon to advance up the Light-weight ladder. He really entered his predominant occasion bout versus Justin Gaethje as the favourite, however that’s about the place all of it fell aside for “The Texecutioner.”
Beginning with Gaethje, Vick would lose 4 straight, together with three defeats by knockout. One other knockout loss on the regional scene despatched him to the Karate Fight promotion, the place the 37 12 months outdated has fought thrice. In his most up-to-date bout for Karate Fight, Vick was knocked chilly by flashy UFC veteran Rafael Alves by way of leaping change kick.
It was a nasty knockout that went viral over summer season, however the seriousness hasn’t been mentioned till now. In a current episode of the Jaxxon podcast, Karate Fight President Asim Zaidi spoke about how scary the knockout was and the way Vick was put right into a medically induced coma within the aftermath.
Discussing the knockout, Zaidi defined, “I used to be there reside, and it was such a profitable occasion. [the knockout] ruined my complete temper. I simply couldn’t be joyful after that. [He was unconscious] for a few days. They put him in a self-induced coma. And he had a respiratory [machine] to verify he stays respiration.
“I went to him when he awoke, and he’s like, ‘What did he catch me with?’ Change kick, and he’s like ‘Oh man, I wish to get again in there’ … Thank God he’s okay man. However, I can’t morally wish to do this. I’m not gonna put him again in there.”
Vick retired from MMA after a 2021 regional loss that noticed him break his orbital. Hopefully, he takes the trace from Zaidi and stops competing in fight sports activities, as a result of the aftermath seems like one of many scariest high-profile knockouts lately.
