Most damage taken in a career?

[HereticBD]

James Thompson. Guy has been knocked cold like 937 times. It got so bad, that one time his ear became sentient and tried to sever itself from his head, to avoid getting hit again.

Enson Inoue with the Igor fight alone

 

[Mammothman]

Overeem got knocked out a fair amount, but I don't remember him being in any real career-shortening wars, like JDS against Cain.

The blessing in disguise for having a weak chin, the moment the brain feels some pressure in that soft chin it goes off to avoid further damage.

 

[ExxA]

He was already crazy

A lot of those fights were works tho.

That is true but some of them were also when he got cleanly knocked out or his brain scrambled. i never liked the guy but im pretty sure his brain took a bit of damage.

[EkingG]

Arianny for sure. Beenz pounded for yearz.

 

[DatSamboKid]

Chuck Liddel and JDS come to mind. Mark Hunt has also been in some savage wars.

 

[Tentacle Grape]

Until recently I would have said Diego or JDS. Now it think Tony has. He’s never gonna be the same after retirement. Any opinions?

Karyn Bryant after this interview

Arianny for sure. Beenz pounded for yearz.

but Dana has a baby D

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Has to be Fulton

 

[RogerB08]

CTE lawsuits inbound ala NFL.

Na, I don't think there's ever been a fight promoter that hemmed and hawed about whether getting hit in the head is bad for you like the NFL did for decades.

 

[Black Paladin]

Gary Goodridge? Overreem?

Jarl

When you sign your posts, sometimes it can get confusing.

For a second, I thought I forgot about a MMA fighter named Jarl who took a lot of damage, and you forgot the "?".

 

[Candy Routure]

Saku and it isn’t close.

honourable mentions: Nog, Hendo, Shogun, Lawler, Reem, Weidman, Diego..

Just a few off the top of my head.

 

[RonMachineGunJhun]

Fabio Maldonado. I wish he got more love around here. He always fought for the fans

 

[RonMachineGunJhun]

Enson Inoue with the Igor fight alone
