The score cards are in. Reality has finally knocked and entered the door. Whats the truth? Getting punched and kicked in the head repeatedly causes TBI (traumatic brain injury). We have seen it in boxing. We finally had the NFL address and admit it. Now, how does MMA handle this little hiccup in the road? When millions...billions (sorry UFC) are on the line, it is important to call MMA the safest sport in the world -Dana White. The reality is, now 20 years in, we are seeing the effects to the fighters. Loss of memory, personality changes, Alzheimers onset, Parkinsons, depression and even suicide. We know, irrefutably, that the trauma these men and women are taking is making them at risk for all of the above. The effort it takes to step into the cage or ring is not at issue. These people are warriors. The question is: does the public keep endorsing it? What does the future hold, especially those fighters who like to stand and bang?
