I dont think there is a safe way lol, these guys know the risks though, we cant sit and pretend we dont love to see guys get rocked and KO’d, it is what it is..Just Bleed (safely)
Never forget
Aye. A girl at my old gym died after a kickboxing match (that she was under-prepared for no less). She ate a head-kick, and it was one of those slow-mow "tiiiimber" falls where the head whips against the floor brutally hard. The ambulance took its time to get there, she got brain swelling, and died in a coma less than two days later. That was a rough week at the gym for everyone after that.I remember the first time I saw someone get paralyzed on the football field.
I played football for 11 years and it wasn't until my 30s did it finally kick into my head how dangerous the sport really is. MMA and boxing is the same. When you're young you feel invincible and it's not until your older that you figure out that you were lucky to make it out without any significant issues.
Fucking sad, If I ever got disabled like that my family better pull the god damn plug, I'd rather die than be in veggie state.
Paralyzed I would be ok with, It's the veggie state where you can't communicate and your brain is pretty much mush. I'll take a hard pass on that.
There are tens of thousands of paralyzed people who thought that but now live fulfilling lives. I'd hope that I would be strong enough and have the mental fortitude to adjust.

These guys know the risks and sometimes those risks become a reality, I know we hate on some of these guys but in the end I hope they go home safe.
