Boxing is far more damaging, long term. Football is the most brutal of all.

Gloves and hard helmets...they both seem to enable harder brain shaking.

Yikes! Now I'm even less inclined to watch. Sounds horrible!

It doesn't hold a candle to Mike Webster, Dave Duerson, Tommy Nobis, and all the others.

I've followed it for 25+ years, since before it was called "MMA."

None of that interests me. I have zero interest in watching MMA.

But you do, when they wear helmets and pads.

I get your point, but I didn't cheer Zorich to injure people. There is a difference...

What could be more damaging than dying? And who knows what the long term impact of MMA might be?

Indeed. I would add neck/face tattoos and the WNBA.

The only one I'll dispute is NASCAR, back in the day, when they truly raced stock.

Vasectomies are not complex. Once you have offspring they are very practical

I don’t watch it. Always found it funny there was a movement to ban boxing and then MMA takes off.

Roman Gladiators had it much better than MMA fighters. At least that's the rumor.
