    Sammy and I used to train together at Revolution Dojo. He was a great fighter with a lot of heart. He would always demolish me in Jiu-Jitsu. Rest in peace homie.

    Please fucking LISTEN to what this guy is saying before hitting DISLIKE button!!
    HE IS DEFENDING the fighters and MMA. "How about life insurances for families of fighters? Health insurances for the fighters themselves? How about better pay?"
    Hey people I know death is really tragic, but LISTEN and UNDERSTAND what is going on before blaming anybody

  • @OFB307

    As a fighter I think that they should ban any hits if one of both parties fell down unconsciously, or acts weird, in order to prevent deaths.

    i am appalled by seeing so many people say this sport is barbarian and horrible. deaths happen in every sport and there are tons of rules and things they do to prevent these things in all sports, including mma. and just like mma, every sport has unfortunate incidents that sometimes end in a death.

    From 1993 to 2015, one death related to pro mma injuries.
    Boxing on the other hand from 1998 to 2006, has 70 deaths attributed to it. In mma when a person is essentially ko'd, then it's over, in boxing they get a standing count and go on to take more punishment.

  • @leopoldmozart
    @leopoldmozart 12 лет назад

    MMA is way safer than prize fighting. Fights are generally stopped more promptly, many fights end with submissions or limb injuries that don't involve head trauma, having a fight continue until one fighter is unconscious is actually rare. Compare that to prize fighting where a majority of fights end in LOC, and where fighters suffer repeated blunt trauma over and over, which is much more damaging to the brain than a one punch broken nose or whatever.

    it doesnt matter because we are talking about deaths/year.

    You forgot to mention also that many probably die from bleeding ulcers that aspirin use caused or made worse. But it is rarely used since the reyes syndrome scare of the 1970's so the deaths aren't that many. I am HUGE MMA fan and a medical guy but I am amazed, and glad of course, that there aren't more deaths. I mean these guys are some tough MF's

  • @Anglagard1
    @Anglagard1 11 лет назад

    When a boxer goes down, fighting is stopped. I agree that boxers can sustain more damage merely because they are allowed to sustain more blows, but at least it teaches people that it is not right to hit a man who is unconscious.

    "Proctor and Gamble have proven that seeing same stuff over and over can program your mind."
    Of course, whenever someone is seeing something, there is a reception. But HOW this reception turns out, is something entirely different. Proctor and Gamble might be ricgt in so far, that what you see somehow influences you. But in which way it does, not only depends on what is seen but also on the person, who sees it.

    Coroners verdict was and he said cerebral haemorrhage caused by subdural haematoma, so it was from a/multiple blows to the head.
    He might have had this BEFORE fight night even, as its normally a tiny artery that has bled.
    The only way is to drill into the skull to release the fluid in the area of the brain that has got pressure on it.
    We had a plumber knock his head in a loft, came in dizzy,sick. Gave him an MRI & he had the same thing, or you just die in your sleep never knowing.

    That's not really how probability works. Just because something has a 1/6 chance of happening, that doesn't mean it happens once every six times. It means if you tested it an infinite number of times, successes would be 1/6th of failures.

    More and more people are waking to the realization that helping others is in fact helping yourself thanks in part to true shambala warriors...Warriors that battle their own faults and their own Dark souls instead of taking it out on others...People are realizing that they have 2 personalities speaking to them (thoughts) one speaks the right thing to do and the other is the oposite, as all things have 2 polarities to them, even thoughts. People are starting to want to do right instead of wrong...

    Fighters know the risks that they are undertaking when they step into the ring or cage. They have to sign a contract that covers the possibility of death as a result of the fight. If you don't like it, don't watch. But frankly, you are safer in that cage than walking to work

    It doesn't matter the amount of money a fighter makes, or the type of life insurance they have, they know the pros and the very upsetting cons of MMA and even Pro-Boxing. It's life or death in the ring or octagon. Although I enjoy watching these warriors go at it, i want them to come out alive and with a few bruises and cuts, never death or being paralyzed. I tip my hat to those who fight pro. God knows I wont be able to. Thanks.

    Better insurance and pay for these guys? This is not a necessity. There are many more important jobs out there that deserve better pay and insurance such as teachers and caregivers to name a couple. They know the dangers, they choose this and if they do not like the risks, pay or insurance then they should go find a job better to their liking.
    If you get punched in the head for a living you should know undesired consequences can occur.

  • @MCJustJ420
    @MCJustJ420 11 лет назад

    Those are 2 completely different scenarios though. Someone being choked to death is much different than a person suffering brain damage and dying at a later date. If a ref allowed someone to be choked unconscious, to the point of death, it would look terrible for the sport. It wuldn't end it, but things would slow down and change quite a bit. And I imagine there would be even more unnecessary stoppage just to be safe.

  • @MightyJabroni
    @MightyJabroni 12 лет назад

    Then explain to me this: Even though movies, video games etc. get more graphic and explicit, violent crimes become less and less. The crime statistics for murder, battery etc. are constantly going back. How can this be? When violence (be it in sports, video games or movies) is more present and more explicit these days, shouldn't we experience more violence around us and not less?
    The criminal statistics of the last years have shown a constant decrease of violence related crimes.

  • @jdspillers77
    @jdspillers77 11 лет назад

    Yes but the "jump down heel kick" and other forms of stomping aren't allowed anymore in the UFC, Strikeforce, and the other types of American MMA sports. They may still be allowed in Japan at Pride, but I can't remember. They stopped allowing that for the obvious reason...To stop a major and likely fatal blow.

  • @XReflexian
    @XReflexian 12 лет назад

    The problem i have with mma is that it sometimes goes to far. I love martial arts, but when someone goes down you don't keep pounding on them and try to break their skull... Some of these fighters have no break and keep pounding even when a referee tries to pull him off a opponent who's already knocked out. That to me is not sport ... Its a attempt to kill someone.

    I agree with you on men's natural agression. But how should watching MMA make viewers more violant? C'mon - the same BS has been uttered about video games, rock music, comics, action movies and so and so forth. The assumption that someone, who looks at something violent, becomes violent himself, holds no water anyway. Especially when the watched violence has nothing to do with the viewer personally. He views it as entertainmant. How should it make him more violent?

    There are some really shitty refs in MMA, you cannot deny that.

I wish I could remember the fight... I would post.

  • @nedhad1502

    Boxing is more life threatening (fatal) but UFC/MMA is more brutal. That needs no statistics to prove as in Boxing to KO opponent in 99% of cases it has to be done by strong punches to the head while in MMA there are unlimited techniques targeting all body part that seem brutal but not as fatal as head injuries.

    Also the context matters. Seeing two men fight in television isn't the same like experiencing a violent father. The first is mere entertainment in the mind of the recipient, the latter is cruel reality.
    For all this reasons I don't see how violence in media makes one more violent for real. Neither the numbers, real life experiences nor common sense back that thesis up.

    @SCROGY 13 лет назад

    @cypresscoach The reason there are fewer deaths in MMA is because there are more ways to end the fight. If you get subbed immediately you might not even take a punch, and there's zero brain trauma. In MMA it is also not considered cowardly to quit like in boxing. Also the gloves in MMA do less long term damage. Boxers are told that quitting is cowardly which leads fighters to fight when they are clearly beaten and have no hope of continuing safely. It's not as simple as you say...........
