News Cody Garbrant details multiple health issues as reason for pullout

Covid does cause some weird mood behaviors. I know it's internet and people have no shame at all, but trying to tie everything to CTE is really stupid because apparently a lot of the times people who think they have it are actually fine, but the devastating psychological effects of thinking you do cause depression and decrease the quality of life by itself.
 
CTE is a myth. You can't prove it while people are alive, only when you examine their brain after death. Alzheimer's and dementia look the same as CTE and people that never fought a day in their life will get it as well. It seems like it is more of a genetic issue.

The main study on CTE was was done by a for profit doctor and it was all speculation, not facts. His original study had a lot of holes in it. Watching UFC right now so I won't bother getting the links for it but it should be easy to find on google.

Edit: Here's a quick link, you guys can google and research more on the subject.

Garbrandt should pull an ortega and take another year off and look to fight again late 21 early 22 so he can heal up rest his body and get his mental right. Ortega came back a completely different man it might work for Cody.

I agree, he shouldn't risk getting knocked out with his current symptoms. Fighting is mental and physical, both need to be healthy.
 
Covid still undefeated in the UFC

hope the GoGar gets back to full health and we get some more epic fights and gifs
 
In light of Fig's performance, I feel like Cody might've dodged a bullet really. Hope he gets through his health issues.

“I had some brain trauma, just cumulative concussions I didn’t think were concussions,” he said. “Symptoms of concussions from wrestling, fighting, street fighting -- all that stuff. Cumulative. Just caught up to me.”

Another six months with vestibular therapy corrected his eyes, curtailed his vertigo and restored his chin( :) ). The brush with brain trauma and the 11 months out of competition turned fighting into a now-or-never endeavor for Garbrandt. Team Alpha Male’s renowned status in the sport attracted him, and he reached Faber on Twitter. The team has been a “savior” to him since his arrival in late 2013. He had not trained for a year when he stepped through the doors at Ultimate Fitness. Faber looked at the rough kid after four days, inquiring about his motivations. Garbrandt asserted that he wanted to be in the UFC someday and believed this was the place to steer him there. To solidify his position, he flew home for a week, collected his life and headed west permanently to buy into Faber’s positive training lifestyle. It was a whole new world for “No Love.”

Wow, all this before the damage he took from Dillashaw and Munhoz. Looking at the shit he's dealing with now, this dude should not be fighting again.

Pulmonary embolism or stroke is a real possibility. Had a Pt who fractured her hip, had surgery then suffered a stroke in the middle of the night. Scariest rapid response i every had. Poor lady was never the same again

That was a tough one I'm sure. Thank God people like you do your job though.

Its established at this point covid commonly causes a hypercoagulable state, but the scariest thing to me is all the pathology in very mild and even asymptomatic cases.

There is likely millions of people right now with brain damage from infection and its going to take a few decades to sort out how many people were disabled from the pre-vaccine waves. Really ugly to think of the cost to humanity.

Don't get over yourself lmao. While I agree it is rarer than people give it credit for, it is not non-existent. Very obviously this phenomenon was seen in the past as anecdotal evidence and it has a clear pattern of occurring when you are involved in getting your head hit frequently.

Do you really think that? It's hard to separate what's real and what's fear mongering. I don't trust the media (fear = clicks = $$ for them) and I don't trust the American politicians, so I don't know who to trust.

The anecdotal evidence goes both ways, there are more people involved in the sport with no issues than there is with supposed issues. You also have to put into account drug/alcohol/steroids abuse etc.

I believe it's more due to genetics, just like some people are genetically prone to dementia/Alzheimer's (even without being in combat sports or receiving blows to the head) will be more prone to those issues when recovering from brain trauma. Deals with their brains ability to heal damaged neurons and reproduce new pathways, while dealing with inflammation/cell death etc.

Most people given enough time for rest and recovery should be able to recover with no issues. The same with any injury, train with an injury you'll make it worse. Keep getting hit in the head while not fully recovered, you'll make it worse and take even longer to heal.
