Fighters you fear will have CTE?

Most of the CTE is going to be the kill or be killed everyday in the gym era of fighters.

Modern guys doing 25 fights and calling it quits, but never having many gym wars should be fine.

If 25 fights worth of collisions was enough to CTE your ass to an early grave, no NFL player would make it past 35 years old.

NFL is WAY harder on the brain because they basically headbutt the shit out of each other all day at practice and then full force in a ton of games every season for years.

And a punch isnt even like a tenth the impact of two 250lb men running at each other.

The helmet only does so much.

So imho the just bleed guys are fucked but dudes who are taking care of themselves will be fine.
 
Wandy acknowledged thah he had most of the symptoms ages ago(Shocking¡). Then he came back to fight Rampage.

Those Shooto guys that have to keep figting two decades after their prime to pay their bills are clear candidates, but we¡ll never heard of them for the most part.
Wandy said he wanted to donate his fucked up brain to research community to study (its Genius) the effects of multiples pounding after he died. Cro Cops foot prints are to be found on it!
 
Any? MMA can be dangerous but not as football and boxing

For me its Dan Henderson, Overeem, Hunt and Arlovski

Yes for sure all those guys you mentioned, with the addition of the Nogueira brothers, the Diaz brothers, Roy Nelson, Chuck Liddell, and Wanderlei Silva.
