"Why Boxing is More Dangerous than MMA

MMA is often thought of as a more gruesome cousin to boxing, but this may not be the case.

In mixed martial arts you are subject to powerful knees, elbows, headkicks, and follow up strikes on the ground.

Whereas in boxing, you only have to worry about punches.

But it’s very misleading to think this way, because in MMA, the strikes are distributed throughout your body,

so you may take more damage, but that may come in the form of sore legs and a bruised body.

And the striking is mixed with grappling, which can offset a lot of the damage.

Whereas in boxing, you are taking repeated power shots to the head.

And more importantly, while ground strikes in the UFC may seem brutal, this is much better than having a concussed boxer get an 8-count

and then proceed to take more brain damage than necessary.

It’s no question that neither sport is good for the brain but when one sport has 10 times more casualties than the other, the answer should be clear.

In boxing you can literally get koed like 10 times and stand up. At least in mma they hit you when you are down and fight stops

[megatronnegron]

I don’t understand why people disagree with this, people die in boxing but nobody died in the UFC. End of discussion

[chilluxtheduck]

In a nutshell boxers sustain more brain injuries mma fighters sustains more injuries in general

[Sir_Pants_Alot]

Boxing is way worse for your brain. MMA is more likely to make you bleed. Nobody would claim MMA is more dangerous if bare knuckle was the boxing standard.

Watching BKFC can scar a mf’er that’s not ready. lol

[ScootsMcPoot]

Boxing is also 20x older. So it makes sense there is more death. And a majority of deaths happened in the depression era

[stevenperez]

mma usually has 5min 5 rounds for championship

while in boxing it's like 12 rounds or more

[SimpleDisciples]

I love MMA more than boxing but this is facts

[therealmuffinseller]

Gruesome: mma
Dangerous/deadly:boxing

[Epicawesome]

They also have like 20 rounds it’s like begging to get cte

[jeffreyjackson]

Bear in mind that a lot of damage opponents receive in both is because both are sports. Meaning, there are rules that one must adhere to, not to mention gloves. Consequently, the fights last longer and more damage often results. If the person is well trained, real fights don't take long. A blow in the right place, a good joint look, or a deep eye gouge, and it's over.

[REDMAN-X]

sports doctors say that too, but we don't want to believe the experts! Selfish don't forget mass doubles impact, that's what you call physics. if we see the boxing gloves with the ufc gloves you will understand the size plus another tip

[Peloli]

I think that mma is more dangerous short term but boxing is more damaging long term

[sc_gordo]

The only way people died in MMA are because of weight cuts. While boxers die in the ring

[t.]

Boxing is more dangerous but MMA is better for street fights

[DvornyashkaDiaries]

Top notch war boxing fights are actually hard to watch. Joe vs George was a fuckin massacre. Seeing a guy get knocked down again and again and again.

[itsme-ahmario]

True boxing is more dangerous it is harder to win a fight in mma

[vespaman]

In mma youre subject to Edson Barboza from these clips lol.

[moses]

You don't mention that the heavy boxing gloves absorb a lot of the power of a punch unlike the UFC gloves

[SnailHatan]

Having 10X more casualties means nothing when it’s been done for 10x as long, with 100x more boxers than MMA fighters. Boxing is not a new sport. MMA is. There are nowhere near as many studies on MMA fighters as on boxers.

The ONLY argument that makes any sense to point to boxing being more dangerous is that someone can get knocked out cold, then stand back up and take more damage. That’s it.

[BillHiggins-pn]

But when you get knocked out there’s no additional punches or kicks
