A mixed
martial arts fighter from Sutton Massachusetts, Rondel Clark, 26, who suffered
a technical knockout in a match in Massachusetts on Saturday, has died.
The Plymouth
County district attorney's office says Clark died Tuesday at a Boston hospital.
Clark
competed as part of the Cage Titans XXXV showcase on Saturday at Plymouth
Memorial Hall. The match was stopped about two minutes into the third round and
was ruled a TKO.
According to
a person who observed Clark's match, Clark had been dominant in the fight, but
then there was a sudden, noticeable change in his demeanor. The witness said
they did not see Clark take any substantial hits prior to that change in his
bearing.
After the
fight, the DA said Clark was taken to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in
Plymouth and then transferred to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in
Boston.
The state
medical examiner's office will determine the cause and manner of Clark's death.
State
police, local police and the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission are
investigating his death
