He was the "main" sparring for Jamie Varner's lastest fight with Melvin.
The pictures in the article were taken moments befor the incident.

Young, fit guy dies of a heart attack in a gym? Hmm... either there was a pre-existing condition or he was on the juice.

Jamie Varner lost one of his main training partners late on Thursday.
The former lightweight champion of the WEC announced by social networks that Sam Young, who was his sparring in preparation for the fight against Melvin Guillard, died in the gym due to a massive heart attack.
Interestingly, they took pictures at the site shortly before the death of the fighter.
- This was a tragic night.
Three minutes after this photo (below) was taken, one of my fellow warriors had a massive heart attack and died in the ring.
I am very sad, this guy helped change my life and was my main training partner for my last fight!
We will cry, but let's keep our eyes on the sky for Sam.
Prayers for his family.
I am very sad now and this is the first time I saw someone die!
- Varner wrote on Thursday.

Not necessarily. Last year a football (soccer) player Fabrice Muamba collapsed on the pitch after a cardiac arrest. His heart stopped for over an hour & somehow he survived. Some peoples fitness is what can cause their death.

Man you obviously don't get out much...maybe just don't read enough World News? Just to let ya know this kinda thing has been happening forever. Although your' professional analysis could be correct, there are plenty of other possible scenarios. Simple Savage

You must be right, because there has never been a case where a young fit guy dropped dead, with no warning signs before.... Oh, never mind there is......
My guess and not a doctor would be a large heart, or irregular heart beat. This happens at lest a few times a year in other sports, in fact didn't just happen to another MMA fighter not to long ago? Last year it was a 16 or 17 year old HS football player.

Both of which would qualify as a pre-existing condition.
