The effect MMA has on facial bones?

[plasterby]

We know it grows/strengthens bones below the neck, but what about above the neck, I supposedly heard that they don't grow as much, why?
Could it even grow the bones in your face? Could it give it more density? Make it more resistant to attacks? Heal faster? Give you a much stronger chin or a wider jaw? How long would it take to see some difference? Any effect on facial muscles? What about the skull itself?
Anyone with any knowledge or anything like this happening to them please answer.
Just asking some questions.

Your face gets pounded flat and you get neck and back problems from all the grappling.

MMA best base for having chad-like broad jaw, it's science.

MMA fighters would be wise to exercise facial muscles as much as possible to prevent KOs.

There are machines for neck. We had one in my high school, and used it for football back when coaches instructed us how to best utilize our helmets as weapons.

So many benefits to having your face used as a punching bag are innumerable

It turns your face from normal to a cross between a catcher's mitt and a potato

All combat sports fighters should do those type exercises and maybe jawzercise :

I think the real, overlooked question here is what are the effects on zygos. According to own research it increases the zygos by one to 1.5 Fusions (a full-weigh-in-Khabib being a 10 Fusions on the widely accepted scale).

@ChickenBrother what is your view on the matter?

Smart. Pretty much the only way to increase one's resilience against KO's apart from simply sparring heavy, and hoping the body adapts favorably to it.

Zygos improvement of 1.5 fusions is optimistic but through MMA, anything is possible. It has been proven MUCH more effective than botox for improving lip plumpness and can even change a patient's ethnicity, adding an epicanthal fold to eyelids where none existed before.

But proceed with caution because much like with a box of chocolates, you might just end up with a vagina on your forehead:

I don't know but I had a sinus infection earlier this year and I can't imagine what they go through after having their nose shattered.

This was after he had the surgery to correct some of these issues.

He was never pretty to begin with but gahdahm

The fact that people are able to compete after seeing that something like this can happen is crazy. The balls on these mothafuckas

More like the absence of it. If you ask me most modern fighters aren't going to have this experience in their careers. Which is good. Plus if humanity actually makes it a bit further without destroying the planet, mma fans will have their own ufc robots to control like a video game. There's so many inventions and technology that people don't know about yet it's quite amazing. And I never use that word.
