The animal slashed Jose Luis Ochoa with a blade that had been strapped to its foot.
Ochoa had been fined only last year for being involved in the sport.
The 35-year-old was declared dead two hours after he was injured in California.
An autopsy found he had died of an accidental "sharp force injury to his right calf".
Other spectators fled when cops called to the fight showed up and found five dead roosters.
The man died because he got hooked in the calf?? The blades they put on the rosters are about the size of nails... I don't think there are easily cut main blood vessels in your calf

"It's pretty rare, but I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often considering the knives they put on those birds," he said. "It's not a surprise that somebody got killed."
