Paul was still an active, high level fighter and is only 30 years old. But his career and accomplishments are not really important right now. Plain and simple, this sucks. If you're a praying kind of person or not, I think we all wish the best for Paul and his recovery.

Bad Left Hook has more coverage and info and more discussion. The initial report came from WRDW TV in Augusta, GA.
