Former NRL player Kevin Proctor has been hospitalized after being knocked unconscious during a high-profile bout in Dubai's controversial tackle-based event, RUNIT.
This incident has reignited discussions about safety in this "world's fiercest new collision sport." Proctor, a former Kiwi Test star, was involved in a brutal collision with social media personality and ex-lower-grade player Jordan Simi during RUNIT 02.
After the hit, Proctor was left lying on the ground with his limbs rigid, raising immediate concerns among spectators and necessitating urgent medical intervention.
RUNIT, known for its intense physicality, has been criticized for its dangerous approach to competition.
