Skalicky was incredible, Janečka held on there by force of will. You really don’t want to do the English between rounds 😀 First time KO 15s in this state and bang madness #CageGame2 https://t.co/uZiV7zL0Hm

Jindrich Janecka cardiac arrest occurred during the fight with the opponent Tomas Skalicky according to cage game 2 Octagonal MMA chief physician Norbert Bidrman.
Janecka appeared to be injured after being kicked to the body and was later knocked out by a punch. The fight was held under Octagon MMA’s stand-up punch rules, which prohibit ground fights.

According to Bidrman, the medical team performed CPR, administered a shock and administered oxygen. Janecka regained consciousness in the cage and was able to talk to the team before being taken to the hospital by an ambulance. A blow to the chest may have triggered the abnormal heart rhythm, Bidrman said, but the cause has not been confirmed.
“I’m the head doctor here at the Octagon. We just had a very urgent situation here where one of the fighters, Jindra to be exact, went into sudden cardiac arrest. After some cardiopulmonary resuscitation, we went into shock. He was given oxygen and revived. He’s completely oriented to the place, time and person. And we thank BRNO for taking the time to get there. I want to reiterate that he’s already in the hospital. He was communicating with us. He probably could have it must be some kind of arrhythmia caused by the blow he had earlier.
