On 28 March 2014, Dennis Munson Jr., an amateur kickboxer from Roufus' gym, Roufusport, died after taking part in a bout promoted by Roufus. Munson's recorded cause of death by the Milwaukee County medical examiner was head trauma. Dehydration caused by the fighter cutting weight up to and including the day of the fight, could well have been a contributing factor. The bout took place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where amateur kickboxers are not required to wear protective headgear.
