This College Student Died After Suffering From Injuries He Got While Involved In An Underground Frat Fight Club
Las Vegas, Nevada. The Sahara Event Center is located at 800 E. Karen in Las Vegas, Nevada, and it’s also home to boxing matches the Kappa Sigma Fraternity puts on.
The thing is, the latest match the fraternity held on November 19th at the Sahara Event Center happened to have no medical professionals or referees.
A 20-year-old college student named Nathan Valencia was involved in the match that took place a few days ago on the 19th, and after suffering serious injuries from the fight, he died.
According to Nathan’s friend Joe Castro, who spoke to KLAS 8 News Now, the fatal fight that Nathan fought in was part of an “underground fight club.”
Joe went on to say that Nathan had no experience boxing whatsoever, but he wanted to be involved in order to represent his fraternity.
“I saw no medical, no doctors, nothing,” Joe explained about what he witnessed during that fight night.
Joe then saw Nathan hit the floor, and as soon as that happened, nobody rushed to his aid at all.

Instead, some kind of fight broke out between other people that were there, and not a single person stopped to help Nathan.

Nathan passed away four days after the fight after sustaining horrific injuries to his brain.
On a GoFundMe page created to cover Nathan’s medical and funeral expenses, Nathan’s girlfriend Lacey Foster wrote that he was the type of young man who made a lasting impression on everyone he encountered.
“Nathan had a smile that lit up every room he walked into,” Lacey said. “I was lucky enough to cross paths with Nathan and share what felt like a lifetime of love and laughter. The love we shared was like no other.”
“Nathan was the kind of person who put others before himself. Anyone who knows him could see how much he cared and loved for his family, friends, and myself.”
“I was truly my best and happiest self when I was with him. The impact he made on not only my life, but everyone else’s is unmatched.”

“He taught me love, strength, loyalty, and genuine happiness. There is nothing he wouldn’t do for me and there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for him.”
“Nathan was never not smiling. Whether he was out with friends, at a festival, at the gym, or playing video games there was always a smile on his face that radiated throughout the room.”
“Not only was Nathan a large part of my life, he was a son, brother, and friend to many. Nathan was actively a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon at UNLV. He had so much love for his chapter and valued the genuine connections he was able to make.”
