I got my first tarantula off of Jalin without knowing who he really was. Hands down one of the nicest and funniest people I have ever met. Not only did he ignite my passion for tarantulas, but I also gained an interest in MMA because of him. Very interesting person. Best of luck in Australia man. You got this. 👊🏻

After watching this video, I feel bad that Luque KO'd him. Jalin seems like a good guy. I hope he wins his next fight.

I used to like the UFC until I grew in the mind and realize it was pointless even for the money it's not worth the brain damage later not to mention to so many things to learn about in this world other than punching kicking. Doesn't matter how great you are anybody can lose it just takes one hit want anything the only difference is when you lose you have a big chance of being permanently injured the brain can't be battered

Consciousness thank god for cbd

I'm a photographer. I shoot professional boxing, kickboxing and MMA. I'd say, based on observation, that MMA does far less brain damage over time than boxing. While boxers do obviously employ body shots, they're constantly aiming at the head--and the most exciting and courageous fighters take (and deliver) far more sustained punishment to the head in the course of their fights. Many boxing KOs are the result of cumulative blows to the head--MMA KOs, while they will indeed do some sort of brain damage, are more frequently the result of one hard shot rather than coming after dozens of head shots. And in MMA, you don't get a count to "recover" just enough to take even more punishment--when the referee sees that you're even temporarily incapable of defending yourself, they jump in right away and that's it. Finally, boxers *never* "quit," and their corners almost never throw in the towel. Many MMA fights are decided by submission, when a fighter knows good and well he's in a potentially damaging hold that he simply can't escape, and a good bit of the grappling is quite technical and eschews blows to the head (except as a distraction technique) while a fighter is working toward a submission. So yes, even though MMA does do brain damage--all hard blows to the head, and any event that causes loss of consciousness, do damage the brain to some extent--I'd have to say that MMA is far less hazardous in that regard than boxing. And possibly also less than football, particularly played at the college level or above. If I had a son who wanted to take up combat sports, I'd probably try to steer him away from boxing, but I'd likely be able to tolerate his participation in MMA. While of course still holding my breath that he wasn't that unlucky fellow who got hit in just the right way to do lasting damage. To go back to your original point, some people just *love* to engage in this sort of thing--and really, it's not our right to deny them the pleasure of competing against others who enjoy it just as much. And if that's the case, MMA is probably a less hazardous outlet for that, in terms of brain damage, than many other physical, contact sports.
