Yeah, wow, makes me glad this is the sport I've chosen to involve myself in.
But didn't Dedge die like... at the arena after the fight? Sounds like this guy was in a hospital for a few days.

yeah
Dedge died pretty much hours after the fight. He had already gone into respiratory failure on the mat.
although douglas was never medically cleared to fight.
It's a dangerous sport...what can i say. You take enough shots in the head, you're going to have Parkinson's. It happens to a shitload of boxers, football players...i wouldn't be surprised if Randy Couture starts having motor-nerve problems by the age of 55.

Yeah no kidding, him and Henderson both will probably communicate in their own language by the time they're 60.
That's what is stopping an incredibly talented guy at my gym from starting what could be a very successful MMA career. He's also a really smart guy and realizes enough hits to the head could change that. He mostly does grappling tournaments, he beat the 7th ranked Greco-Roman wrestling American at the Sunkist wrestling tournament and he's never even trained Greco.
Here's him winning the open weight submission grappling event called Desert Quest. (He's only 22 years old)

Minus the first match, that's just this beast of a guy who's at our gym, you'll see him in the MMA heavyweight division in 4-5 years. Sorry I suck at embedding video too apparently.

i think it's smart for someone to avoid going into combat sports for those mentioned reasons.
i used to train in boxing here out in Philly (birthplace of uncountable boxing legends), and i can tell you, after getting hit in the head several times a week, I think it's made me stupider.

Check out that video at all? I think it's funny how Dan goes "Oh shit he's out" and then everyone runs in to see if he's ok Gotta love the gator roll.
