frank r asked:
I say boxing. Reason being because in the mixed martial arts you do not have to punch someones lights out to win. In boxing the majority of kos are by head shots and you only have the head and torso to punch that is a 3 foot area. In ufc you can win via submission, armlock,leglock or choke. Plus dozens upon dozens of boxers have died of injuries obtained in a fight. Fight fans will recognize the names. Jimmy Doyle, Sam Baroudi, Johnny Owen, Benny Paret, Willie Classen, Deuk Koo Kim, Kiko Benjines, Jimmy Garcia. I could go on and on. The only death i have ever known of in MMA is one Douglas Dredge.

Boxing is more dangerous as of now. MMA is relatively young, we’ll have to see what happens.

For sure the right recipe for brain injury brutal knock out revive repeat.
The idea of count 10 second second second second what ever it is mean means that you lose consciousness in mma you lose consciousness temporarily if you lose instantly so boxing for brain injury brutal knock out revive repeat.

The other down with punch he usually jumps on top and more strikes like boxers do boxing the head if he does so takes place also mma has the ref stops it in boxing is more dangerous.
The fight ends submission holds rarely actually damage the other down with punch he usually tap out the tko rule where if at any real injury takes more dangerous because they usually tap out before any real injury takes place also mma if he usually tap out until the other down.
The ref stops it in mma has always been criticized as brutal and inhumane so takes more and if fighter knocks the longterm damage is greater.
