Message: [QUOTE="Rocktheworld, post: 2410872, member: 5037"] Totally hear what you’re saying. But there is a continuum I believe where you have your low-contact sports (soccer, basketball, baseball), contact sports (lacrosse, hockey), collision sports (football and rugby), then you have combat sports such as boxing and MMA. You’d have a hard time convincing me a collision sport, where the object is bringing a man to the ground, is more dangerous than a combat sport, in which the object is to inflict damage and/or beat someone unconscious. The first point I would make is: how many on-field deaths per 16-game season occur in football, vs how many deaths in-ring or post-fight occur in a 1-2 bout year in MMA? [/QUOTE]
