MMA elbows and knees open more cuts but concussive punches are worse imo.

Not to mention, the rules have changed from what MMA used to be originally.

I don't think it should be measured whether mma or boxing is 'tougher' or more hardcore. They are different sports really, and both dangerous. I respect both, although for me mma is like human cockfighting to an extent.

Originally posted by Sn1 View Postwell study results posted recently suggest that a similar degree of brain damage is being sustained in MMA and boxing and both are likely to lead to many other health problems.
It asked whether MMA was heading in the same direction.
I believe the MMA organizations have the athletes sign waivers absolving the orgs from some or any responsibilities regarding serious injury sustained by the athletes.
Some states were and are a still fighting to keep MMA from promoting any events for fear of lawsuits.

I was a huge fan from the beginning since I was into the martial arts from a young age. So I developed an appreciation for the sport since inception.
It is quite different from boxing, and has evolved quite a bit as the athletes refined their skills making the combat appear less crude than it use to be.
