Is MMA Dangerous?
Although you can be seriously hurt in the partaking of MMA but most of the time it is a lot safer than other contact sports. There has only ever been two people die from MMA ever. Plus it is known that the two people that died already had physical ailments which ultimately played a huge factor in the reason why they died. Although you occasionally hear of a broken bone or two those usually heal to being almost back to 100% normal. Now lets take a look at some of the contact sports that get to go under the radar of the public eye because they are complaining about MMA.
Football
Yes that is right Football has the one of the biggest causality and fatality rate’s in today’s modern sports. So far on record it has killed 325 Boys and Men in the last 26 years although not all of these deaths happen on the field but it is still a lot of deaths compared to the two that have been killed in MMA.
Ice Hockey
When you watch a decent game of Ice Hockey you will almost always see someone get injured in the name of their sport. Here is one example how hockey players can get seriously injured. On the ice they can reach a speed of up to twenty five miles an hour but we will say that their average is fifteen miles an hour now if you have two people both going into each other that is a thirty mile an hour crash for both of them. There have also been cases where an unlucky hockey player has been hit with a frozen puck in the chest and has ended up dieing.
Boxing
This is the most dangerous contact sport in the world at the moment yet it doesn’t cop anything near what MMA does for people being in danger. Here is just a little example of how boxing is more dangerous then MMA. The average boxing glove is 16oz which is build to protect the boxers hand not the opponents face. This in turn allows the puncher to do more punches as the other boxer gets more and more blows. Where as a typical MMA glove weighs in at a little four ounces which means that it protects both the puncher and it also won’t harm his opponent.
