What do you know that I don’t? That Combat Sports are bad?

That MMA is soo much more brutal than Boxing? A month ago I saw one of the nastiest cuts I have ever seen in combat sports. And guess what? It was in Boxing, due to an accidental headbutt. Not due to elbows, or nasty GNP, but an accidental clash of heads in a Boxing match.

Like I said in a previous post, more people have died in Professional Baseball in the last five years than have died in the HISTORY of Sanctioned MMA competition. Heck 2 years ago a third base coach lost his life because he took a foul ball in the neck. MLB response? Coaches wear Helmets. Wtf?

Thanks and Good Luck

But the intent of baseball is not to intentionally physically harm your opponent.

FWIW I never liked pro boxing. Amateurs box, or even fight MMA for different reasons than pros. Pros have to push the boundary, because the risk factor sells. Listen to me. I’m saying this — pro MMA will get worse, bloodier. That’s the direction of these times, and even the trajectory of such a spectacle in any time.

If it isn’t a spectacle it doesn’t sell tickets.
