He seems pretty normal in his interviews but dude has been knocked out cold like what, 15 times? That can't be good. I've heard fighters (who took way less damage) admit having constant headaches, tend to forget a lot, etc
Did it not catch up to him yet or is he just pretending to be OK? I've always rooted for Reem but perhaps we can campaign to have him in the JRE.
he may not actually be that bad. I read and heard that it actually worse to get hit a lot and not be knocked out. the brain rattling and bouncing around while conscious or something is worse. Overeem gets hit hard then goes out. Guys like hendo and chuck liddell or mark hunt take equivalent of baseball bats to the head tons of times and still stay standing. So when they are K.O. finally it the accumulate of so much damage it worse
Or do most Sherdoggers totally over exaggerate brain damage in mma?Boxing is 10X more brutal.Lots of doctors here too.
true but chuck liddell is punch drunk. sure a few other fighters are to.
dan henderson will have brain damage. he built a career on getting dropped and his head punched and kicked around and not being knocked out. same as boxing in that sense. it worse for the brain to get hit a lot and not be knocked out. tons of brain rattling.
