yes you post one example but that still doesn't apply to me. there are incidents of this in many sports boxing, football, hell even soccer has concussion issues.

You keep saying it doesn't apply to you, but if you are an MMA fighter- you'll certainly take hits to the head.
Quote:
UCLA neuropsychologist Dr. Tony Strickland explains that each headshot causes the brain to bounce off the skull’s inner walls, which in turn prompts a disruption in blood flow that jolts the brain’s chemical environment out of equilibrium. Calcium rushes in while brain cells run critically low on glucose, the energy source they need to function properly.
Most times the brain snaps to normal within seconds. But after a heavy blow that imbalance can persist, depriving the brain of the blood and glucose it needs for hours or more. That’s a concussion, with effects — like headaches, fatigue and nausea — that you might feel for days, weeks or months.
Whether or not they cause concussions, repeated headshots diminish an athlete’s ability to recover from head trauma.
In aging fighters, the damage compounds like the interest on a payday loan. As headshots ravage the brain’s delicate circuitry, speech, memory and co-ordination deteriorate quickly.

So you either.
A) Are an MMA fighter and have never taken a blow to the head
B) Are an MMA fighter and have taken so many blows to the head you don't remember any of them anymore.
C) Have some special form of brain the rest of us don't have that's concussion-proof or doesn't need glucose.
D) Have never actually fought in an MMA match (At which point your "training" is called "exercise")
E) Aren't actually an MMA fighter.
See you're telling me my example doesn't apply to you, but that's a logical fallacy.
-Blows to the head cause temporary disruption in normal brain function.
-You take blows to the head
-Blows to the head don't apply to you because ???
I'm not arguing what Alarti said to you, I'm arguing what _I_ said to you.
