Former UFC fighter turned boxer Tim Haue has passed away 2 days following his knock out loss. On June 16, 2017, he suffered a brain hemorrhage after being knocked out in a boxing match against Adam Braidwood in Edmonton, Alberta
Hague’s sister, Jackie Neil, announced the death in a family statement.
“It is with incredible sadness, sorrow and heartbreak to report that Tim has passed away today,” the statement said. “He was surrounded by family, listening to his favorite songs. We will miss him with so greatly.”
The 33-year-old Hague, who grew up on a farm in Boyle, Alberta, was a heavyweight trained in jiu-jitsu.
According to CBSports.com, Hague fought five times in the UFC between 2009 and 2011, going 1-4. His lone win came in his debut at UFC 98 when he submitted Pat Barry. As a boxer, Hague turned pro in 2011 and was 1-3 with two knockout losses.
The Edmonton Combative Sports Commission, which regulates professional combative sports events in the city, issued a statement Sunday afternoon before Hague’s family announced the death.
Executive director Pat Reid said that a post-fight review is completed immediately after each competition. But he said that following the news of Hague’s condition after Friday’s match, the commission has extended its request for reports to all referees, ringside judges, physicians, chief inspector, paymaster and the presiding inspectors assigned to the bout.
