Brain damage more likely in MMA than boxing

[( . Y . )]

are you serious? several people have died in mma, the last one was just a month ago.

not in big shows but it has been well publicized regardless.

He is a another idiot who thinks the UFC = MMA.Cant even debate with these people. They have the fundamental facts about the sport all screwed up.

[( . Y . )]

Boxing is worse because they let you recover after you get concussed.

In mma its all over once you get concussed.

That is the major difference.

Except the medical facts say different. But please keep posting this false meme over and over with zero medical facts. Im sure someone is dumb enough to take your word for it.

This gif is from THIS week. So please, just please stop saying you know mma is safer because you read it once on sherdog.

"The study conducted by Prof. Hutchison and doctors at St. Michael***8217;s Hospital in Toronto did not involve actual medical diagnosis of MMA fighters.

Instead, they analysed the publicly available scorecards from professional UFC matches, which indicate whether a fight ended in a knockout or TKO."

That right there tells us we shouldn't take that study seriously.

"While not definitive evidence, it is probable that a knockout, where the fighter loses consciousness, involves a concussion or more severe brain injury, said Prof. Hutchison."

Tell that to Magomed Abdusalamov and Frankie Leal.

i think mma is safer because less people die from it on an annual basis than boxing

death is pretty bad

also, all martial artists strive to be great boxers, not great mmgay fighters. Notice how great kickboxers like the Klitschkos and Manny Pacquiao wasn't getting enough money in a crummy sport like kickboxing, so they translated their skills over to boxing where they can prosper

Boxing rulez\\\\\\\\

real men like me, and other pro boxers should punch people! kickin ain't fightin'! Randy Couture never really beat james toney!

guys like Ray Robinson and Ali didn't get brain damage from boxing. It was hereditary

He won't reply to you. The people who post that **** are either dumb as bricks or paid to spread the word.

[LoadedWraps]

very misleading.

it's the blows that don't knock out out and pile up over a long fight that really take something out of you. sparring, amateur career, and long pro careers of 10 or 12 round contests.


short knockouts are actually better for you in many cases.

This. Great post.

Just name me one division in boxing in 2014 where the best 2 guys in a division are going to fight each other

Super Featherweight.

I knew some idiot would say that crap..

Those super fights you name involve dream fights between 2 different division completely separated by 10 or more pounds.. It isn't welter going to jr mid, it's welter going middle, it's like Floyd going to serg, or canelo going to ward,
GPS-silva is a 15 lb difference in weight not 7 lbs
Fedor and cyborg aren't even in UFC and the only true super fights that should have been made is gsp/silva, silva/jones, But at least they have all fought their top contenders repeatedly

Boxing can't even make guys in the same division fighting, and you have to be a complete ****** to think boxing puts on better fights than UFC

Look at just the divisions

Welter we have no
Bradley Floyd
Manny Floyd
Thurman porter
Broner Kahn

Middleweight
Ggg serg
Serg quillen


How about kovolev and Stevenson or rigo mares

UFC doesn't protect it's cash cows...
Gsp year long layoff comes back and fights the top 3 guys in his division condit, Diaz, and Hendricks
Lesner comes back after career threatening illness and fights the top guys Darwin and Cain
Serg comes back after an injury and fights an undersized guy who is 1-2 at lower weight in his last 3, yet that's what boxing gives us as a title fights, and we are so starved for good fights that this is actually considered a big fight..

Let me know next time UFC has a champ defend against a guy that is 1-2 in his last 3 and is moving up in weight for the first time, and hasn't beaten a top guy in years,,,



You have gone full ****** if you think boxing puts on better fights... Lmao

And you show your troll colors by trashing UFC yet must be big enough fan to rattle off a bunch of super fights you wanted them to make...

Boxing is a sport with several promotion companies (Golden Boy, Top Rank, etc), UFC is a company. How many times have mixed martial artists from different companies fought each other? In boxing it happens quite often.

Punching yourself in the brain causes damage. The more you punch yourself, then more damage you cause. It's no big rocket science, guys.
