WEC Fighter Will Ribeiro Clings to Life After Motorcycle Wreck

From Tatame.com

Two weeks after doing his second fight in WEC, at Las Vegas, Will Ribeiro now faces the most difficult of the battles. TATAME.com received a call from his coach Luiz Alves, telling about the bad motorcycle accident suffered in Rio de Janeiro, earlier today. "Things are really bad… The accident happened around 1a.m.. He were riding a bike without a helmet and, when tried to brake, skided and crashed", told Luiz Alves, who also told the athlete is in coma at Andaraí’s Hospital. Stay tuned on TATAME.com for more news about the accident.

Wow...  The guy had, (hopefully still does have), a bright career in front of him.  Right now all you can do is hope he survives intact much less fights again.  This buds for you Will...

Athletes and motorcycles really don’t mix… Lost my all time favorite boxer to a motorcycle accident in 2007 now another talented young fighter is hanging in there. A damn shame

Diego Corrales was one of my favorites also. I hate hearing stories like this. I hope he can make a full recovery
