Great video, last year I wrote an essay on CTE in mixed martial arts. An interesting study found that drugs and alcohol can seriously impact brain recovery as well, and many fighters like to celebrate/party and party after wins, which can contribute

[@MMAAccess]

Thank you! That's definitely a great point, even the winner of a fight can be concussed and heavy partying probably doesn't help 😅

[@umaransari9765]

What about PEDs?, can they help recover from KOs faster than naturally?

[@MMAAccess]

As far as we've seen they can't, they're generally focused towards non-organ related recovery such as muscles, tendons, and cardio. Supplements with brain healthy fats like fish oil and such have shown some effects of aiding in recovery but the research there is still limited

@@MMAAccess Absolutely....they are advised to avoid bright lights, loud sound etc... Fighters require proper sleep and diet after recovery. I think natural remidies like ashwagandha can help with sleep. Minimum 6 month rest is super necessary. But we saw recently that Conor started to train after nearly 2 months after UFC257 and competed 6 months later in UFC264....

Knowing what we know now, which does not seem to be much, why do people still decide to fight professionally? It's madness, MADNESS!

Watching this after the Volk vs Illia fight. Wish Volk gave himself a longer rest period after his KO from Islam.
