Tim Hague’s in-ring death occurred following Edmonton commission missteps

BAD MMA News — Sat, 16 Dec 2017 15:56:53 +0000

An independent report has concluded the Edmonton Combative Sports Commission made several missteps in the buildup to a boxing match that led to UFC veteran Tim Hague ’s death in June. The report, ordered by the city of Edmonton in the wake of Hague’s death, recommended several changes to the way the ECSC regulates events, calling for more stringent rules on medical suspensions and the creation of a provincial athletic commission. “It does appear that certain ECSC Policies were not followed for the June event,” stated the report, which was written by business consultancy firm MNP, LLP. On two occasions prior to Hague’s fatal bout, commission doctors gave the fighter a shorter medical suspension than was required by the rules. It also failed to account for an unsanctioned MMA bout held in July 2016, when Hague suffered a knockout loss, which should have triggered an immediate 90-day suspension. Had that term been enforced, Hague wouldn’t have been licensed two months later, in September, for a nine-round boxing match in Edmonton, which he lost via unanimous decision.

BAD MMA News — Tue, 20 Jun 2017 19:06:54 +0000

The first time Tim Hague went down against Adam Braidwood was a little over a minute into the first round. Backed into the corner, he took a pair of right hands and ended up kneeling on the canvas, rising to his feet as the referee’s count hit seven. Roughly a minute after that Hague went down again. Then shortly after he took a few more hard shots and went lunging toward Braidwood’s legs – not a knockdown, according to referee Leon Koivisto, but still it prompted a brief pause in the action

Tim Hague More than eight years and 28 fights into his pro MMA career, Tim Hague said he’s finally prepared to meet his potential. Hague found success early in his career under the King of the Cage banner. He won the organization’s heavyweight title as part of 10 wins in his first 11 pro fights. He then received the call to make his UFC debut at UFC 98 in May 2009 and would submit Pat Barry in the first round. Unfortunately after that point, his career went into a backslide that only now – nearly six years later – can he say he’s recovered. Hague spent much of recent years trying to rediscover his groove
