Anyone know how healthy the older fighters are now?

I know royce is in good heath.
 
More are fucked than not

Frye and Goodridge are cooked
 
Coleman's required some surgeries.

Had a go fund me page up one time.

Mark Hunt donated $5,000.
 
Some of them are probably doing worst from not being able to afford bills than CTE or related. Which is even sadder

Kerr you can find at the methadone clinic every morning.

Tank is thinking about getting on a list for a liver transplant.
 
How early are we talking?

A majority of fighters have knees/neck/back/joint problems + brain damage.

I'm not counting all the scar tissue and staph infections either.

TLDR: MMA is rough on the human body.
 
I'm sure Ken Shamrock will be having his food fed to him in the next few years.
 
do you want a list of the dead one ?


:(

The kimo one is just a halloween get up or a shoop right?

No they finally took his license for his own good thank God. He has brain damage, but he's not fried.
 
royce was all about skill.

he was probably chosen because he was the best guy for the job - which was a real bjj demonstration against other arts.
 
Goodridge is CTE, Frye is fucked up. Mark Kerr? Randelman died RIP
 
rickson may of only punched his opponents alot because they had mma skills.
 
Even relatively current fighters...
-Bisping has one eye
-GSP has stomach issues
-Brock had stomach issues
-Anderson's shin shattered
-Jones toe ripped right off
-Hendo can't turn his head + missing teeth
-Cruz's knees are shot
-Hughes recovering from a train
-Chuck has brain damage
-CroCop twitches
-Big Nog is all kinds of busted
-Saku's ear fell off
-Wanderlei has brain damage
-Shogun's knees are shot
-Machida's chin is shot
-Fedor is chinny
-Kerr is all kinds of messed up
-Griffin was a blueprint of injuries


I don't know...the list goes on and on....
 
Many have real problems. Much of it from the from the fight game but also other health issues not associated with it. You find the same in boxers and football players after their careers. Some of the stories have been quite sad.
 
Jon Hess wants to come back and thinks UFC fighters are all soft and the sport is pussified now . Also thinks he will knock Stipe out cold in like a minute. Well he is undefeated in UFC so he could do it
 
wrestling and steriod use in mma seems to have taken its toll on fighters.
