Question

Do you find mma safer than football, boxing, or hockey?

Answer 1

Many many more people die in boxing than MMA. In fact I only know of 1 or 2 deaths in MMA but there are dozens every year in boxing. In boxing your forced to stand there for half an hour and take 500 punches to the head. In MMA if you are losing the standup battle after a minute or two you can start working for takedowns and submissions. MMA is a very safe sport.

Answer 2

i hear of a lot more people getting hurt in football and hockey than martial arts.

Answer 3

From what I hear yes. The refs are in there and the fights get stopped the moment you stop defending yourself properly or break something. In football, hockey, etc there are many common injuries that basically set you on the path to being on disability for the rest of you life. As far as boxing it is two guys punching each other in the face for 10 rounds and there are no take downs or submission plus standing 10 counts and so forth you can be standing and taking a pummeling and the ref may not stop the fight. MMA is actually pretty in comparison.  

Answer 4

yes 2 deaths in MMA total while football has at least 15 and boxing averages like 8 a year i think that was the statistic

Answer 5

Boxing averages ten deaths a year. I KNOW MMA is safer than boxing.
