That post owns because Browne would have been cut awhile ago if not for his family.

Travis browne will never be cut as long as it remains a spectacle to see a guy that big being kicked in the face repeatedly

It still kinda amazes me that the UFC Heavyweight division is a thing. Basically every single one of them could have chosen to say, play professional football for 500x the money.

There's a certain broke-brained-ness needed to be a professional prizefighter, true.

Professional football is really really hard to play, probably big guys who are sort of athletic cannot just choose to play it and get paid a lot of money.

Is CTE worse in football than mma?

Almost definitely yes. They wear big helmets so the can slam their heads and be slammed in the head "without harm" but they found in amateur boxing that the helmets actually contribute to concussion rather than dampen it and there's no reason to believe that it's much different for gridiron helms. Though I wonder if there are studies that compare American Football with Rugby in terms of concussion likelihood. e: http://www.brain-injury-law-center.com/latest-news/head-injuries-rugby-vs-football/ There's at least this thing with some stats but it's not super deep or whatever Josuke Higashikata fucked around with this message at 15:54 on Jun 12, 2017 |

Except they couldn't. These guys are not anywhere near athletic/skilled enough, or they would be doing that. Every HW TUF is 80+% failed football players for a reason.

KyloWinter posted:Is CTE worse in football than mma? Absolutely, but mostly because in football after someone gets concussed they go right back to getting smacked in the head again sometimes within minutes but definitely within weeks. In MMA when someone gets concussed, the fight is usually over, and the person is medically suspended for months on end. The number of subconcussive impacts a football player takes, especially guys on the offensive and defensive line, dwarfs the amount of strikes to the head any fighter absorbs.

Also, yeah, the number of professional NFL players is extremely small. There are about 70ish per team (counting practice squad) throughout the regular season. Less than 2300 people a year are able to say they were NFL athletes, and many of them will not play more than 2-3 years. Those majority of the players aren't getting million dollar paydays and instead make a few hundred grand, wash out, and open a car dealership before they eventually eat a bullet because they stared at a picture of their own kid for 20 minutes this morning and couldn't figure out who they were.

KyloWinter posted:Is CTE worse in football than mma? Absolutely yes, and its not even close. Its also worse in football than in boxing. Most of the damage doesn't come from the big, bell-ringing highlight hits. The small routine hits that happen over and over again when the offensive and defensive lines fire into each other almost a hundred times a game add up to massive brain damage over a career. You are better off getting knocked the gently caress out 6 or 7 times than play football for several years, even without ever losing consciousness.

frankly its not that easy to switch from 1 sport to another even if you happen to be good at both. because you will be competing with people whove done the sport since they were children. additionally maybe someone would rather make a career in the sport that pays less but they happen to enjoy more. you die at the end of your life anyway so theres no point doing a job that you hate
