Gary Goodridge's CTE is getting worse (apology to fans)

[Luke Thomas Rockhold]

Gotta feel bad for Gary.

Who would have thought that getting hit in the head repeatedly would have negative long term effects

Not me. Probably something else

 

[drbolony]

You guys are pieces of shit.

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

Poor guy. He is a true warrior.

Shut up

 

[Gambit MMA]

sad to hear

 

[B0mbSquad]

Once we have more long-term data, this sport may not last.

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Terrible... Pioneer and Warrior. The guy had some wars in the ring/cage. This is fighting... a dangerous sport.

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

I

AM NOT

GAY



ELF FUCKER

 

[firstroundpick]

he took most of that damage in k-1…

 

[Skarsgard]

You guys are pieces of shit.

You're surprised by that? This is one of the most irreverent communities I've experienced.

 

[shortlefthook]

Sad but at the end of the day his name will live on because the sacrifices he made.
The mma community will never forget, better than being a nfl player that gets cte and does some crazy shit.
Nfl fans don't give a fuck a month later

 

[Sean Long]

Once we have more long-term data, this sport may not last.

This is 100% accurate. Lots more cases to come sooner or later.

 

[Contempt]

Always terrible to hear this kind of thing. Sadly he won't be the last high profile MMA fighter to go through this.

On the off chance you read this... Thanks for all the amazing fights over the years Gary. I'm sure the whole fight community wishes you nothing but the best... even the dipshits and trolls of sherdog.

Yes, I thought people were out for shock value here, but this is just low class.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Stand and bang, Gary! You will be remembered, even if you have no memory of victory!

 

[Pain4Pain]

A true legend of MMA.

I hope the next generation of combat athletes learn from the experiences of Ali and Goodridge and train smarter with the intent of minimizing brain trauma.

I have a strong feeling most fighters will get CTE. Even a single knockout can cause big damage in the long run let alone the repeated blows to the head in the gym and in fights.
