Believe it or not, MMA actually tends to leave fighters with a lot less brain injuries than American football, or Boxing.

Yeah, an MMA fighter might get kicked or kneed in the dome, and it may change him forever. But that's different, because if you get hit real hard in MMA, you can try to clinch up or wrestle, preventing further blows while you recover from the one that rung your bell.

American football players are not drug tested, so they are all like 300+ lbs., and they wear a lot of "protective" equipment which allows them to literally sprint and slam headfirst into one another. Over, and over, and over. They get their bells rung many times playing as kids, and this shit is sort of cumulative. One concussion is bad, yes, it can fuck you up forever, yes- but you know what's worse?

Recovering from the initial effects of that concussion after a minute or two, then stepping back onto the field to slam your head into another gigantic nigger at full speed.

Same with Boxing. Guys will take vicious punches, and go down hard, completely unconscious, often waking up when they hit the ground. Then, they get a standing 8 count. Still dizzy as shit, they start trading punches again. Boxers get "punchy" in their later years, because of this- the repeated concussions, one after another after another all within less than an hour.

There haven't been many deaths in MMA since its "birth" in the early 90s, at least not mid-fight. There have been a couple, and it's always notable because of how rare it is. You'd think these guys are in the most danger, considering all the shit they are allowed to do to each other, but that grappling saves brain cells.

Also interesting to note- there haven't been any high profile MMA fighters who have dropped dead the way vaxtards do. And I would argue that they are in a far, far, far more stressful profession than a football nigger. They get paid way less, and they have to risk getting their ass beaten in their underwear in front of the whole world. They have to cut weight, which is hard on the body (and makes you more susceptible to concussion).

And yet, they aren't dropping like flies. I wonder if a lot of them were able to get exemptions somehow?
