Reality is, any contact sport is violent. But people make it seem like MMA is the most brutal sport out there. Sure, you can punch, kick, knee, throw an elbow, break someones arm. But fighters rarely end up with a serious injury and as shocking as this seems only a few that I can recall have had a concussion over the past twenty years of the sport.

Anyways, back on topic. Looks like the guy shot his wife in the heart and himself in the head. He’s a piece of trash but him doing this certainly wasn’t caused by how “violent” the sport is. Which makes this case even worse IMO because this guy knew what he was doing and instead of facing the world like a man he took the easy way out and killed himself. Benoit I think just lost it. Not saying it was ok for Chris to do what he did. But his career and all the drugs he was apparently on took a tole on his brain.

I’d watch MMA more, but there’s only so many hours in a day.

I’d hardly call that having a temper. People need to be educated though. If I seemed like an ass I’m sure I was being one. Just didn’t like to have to be told by one of my friends about an article that was, intentionally or not, trashing MMA.

I have, easily. I’ve been knocked out cold quite a few times in “street fights” and I’ve also sparred with some pretty decent boxers/MMA fighters. So I’ve taken my fair amount of shots to the head and nothing has changed. It’s like smoking cigarettes. You smoke one it’s not going to do any harm. You smoke pack after pack for twenty years you are bound to get cancer or have a really hard time breathing.

“And if he was depressed, there are all sorts of things that can cuase that, even regular supplements.”

Justin was dealing with depression his whole life, even before becoming a MMA fighter. So yours and Kee’s argument about getting depression from taking shots to the head is idiotic. It’s well documented, but someone was in a hurry to take a shot at MMA instead of getting their facts straight.

“You must be brain dead anyway to go in a cage and fight.”

This is why wrestling sites should leave MMA alone. Or at least be educated before you make comments like these. You look at MMA as a blood sport. I look at it as two guys or girls competing in the truest sport in the world. There has never been a documented death in sanctioned MMA, and there has never been a career ending injury either. It might look brutal to the common person, but if you spent some time to actually get into it instead of making dumb comments like the ones you’ve made, you’d see my point. With what has happened in the professional wrestling business, you’d be brain dead to even think about getting involved in that sport. And that is fact.

“This make me think, what about Rampage Jackson. Its fair to say he lost his mind.”

Once again, it’s just you trying to make something of nothing.
