So what’s with all the rhetoric and discussion on MMA being a violent sport? Have any of these detractors ever watched a ทางเข้าแทงบอล ufabet game? Ice Hockey? Rugby? Talk about violent sports! And these are all approved and sanctioned!

The JOSS&M report went further: “The findings of the present study do not provide evidence that combat sports have alarmingly high rates of injuries resulting in emergency department visits.”
