Is MMA more dangerous than boxing?
Combat sports in general are dangerous, but boxing, there's so much more head trauma. Because in cage fighting you see a lot of kicking to the body, to the legs, there's a lot of ground fighting, no so much head trauma. You see a lot more death in boxing. Unfortunately, I do love fighting but it is kind of like a love-hate relationship. I love it - I love what I do but I hate the fact that so many people get hurt and so many people look the other way. And there's also so much corruption in the sport that it breaks my heart. So it's a real love-hate relationship.
