CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, is one of if not the most dangerous aspect of combat and contact sports. a whopping 99% of NFL players and 90% of boxers suffer from this degenerative form of brain damage. MMA being such a new sport, there's a lack of scientific research on MMA athletes and the dangers they face. That along with many other factors makes CTE a commonly overlooked or at least undersold risk in the sport we love.
