Jordan Parsons, theMMA fighter killed in a hit-and-run accident in Delray Beach in a hit-and-run accident last May in South Florida, has been posthumously diagnosed with CTE, according to theBoston Globe.

Not good.
Guy was 25.
CTE can only be diagnosed posthumously, and IIRC on request. So you need to have a dead fighter on your hands, which given the age of the sport is unlikely at this stage. You also need a reason to be present to test for CTE in the first place.
To find CTE in a 25 year old MMA fighter is messed up. Obviously any link to that condition affects the sport, which is why i posted in the HWs.
