"And then there's this: According to Orlando affiliate WFTV.com, no EMT staff was on hand for the event. Promoter Steve Fossom dismissed this outrageous oversight by telling reporters that an emergency crew was "two to three minutes" away at a nearby fire station. Another report suggests Simmons had to wait close to an hour before being wheeled in for surgery. Regardless of whether the fighter had two minutes or two hours to spare, it's unthinkable that Fossom wouldn't understand that even 60 seconds could have a radical effect on the health of any of the event's participants"

Sad and tragic.. Unfortunately this puts the sport in a bad light when things like this happen in events that are not run properly. You see at a UFC as soon as the fight is over the doctor is in the ring checking everyone out. This tragedy could have been avoided..

Title is a little misleading. She's not an MMA fighter, she's a kickboxer. Very sad though. RIP
