ORLANDO, Fla., July 28 (UPI) -- A woman kickboxer died in Florida a day after taking a strong blow to the head during a match, authorities said.

Adrienne Simmons, 34, of Atlanta died Monday at Orlando Regional Medical Center where she had been transported after the bout at the city's Marriott World Center resort, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

Simmons had been fighting Lindsay Scheer in a Muay Thai match where fighters use feet, elbows, hands and knees to land blows on their opponents, the newspaper said.

After Simmons fell, the bout was stopped and ringside doctors attended to her.

When she sat up and spoke, medical personnel escorted her from the ring.

She collapsed shortly thereafter and was airlifted to the hospital, authorities said.

Scheer's coach, Eric Haycraft, posted on his Facebook page that Sunday's fight "seemed like a normal bout."
