Yeah. Damn shame that fighters just keep trying when physical problems like this manifest themselves.

Sad sad stuff, also goes to show how much he loved the sport. Hope he hangs them up.

What makes financially secured fighters continue for years after discovering braindamage?

Ridiculous.

That being said one can only hope that the damage can be cured, but I have the feeling that it's just a way for a schrewd businessman to relieve Jones and others for some cash.
