No one "cares about whats more dangerous" it just came up.
I didnt say it was more badass did i ?, just more dangerous in terms of long term damage. Show me a mma fighter who can take a hard kick to the ribs, why would they be better at it than boxers ?. U cant train that, unless you have find a way to harden your ribcage. Maybe you have session where you kick each others ribs for hours ? I sense that u think that mma fighters are more "tough" than boxers, why is that ? Everyone practicing at a high level, football players, marathon runners etc, are tough. I dont see why mma fighters suddenly are the toughest.

And why would fighters "die" if a count was introduced in mma ?

I do have to agree with Mikkel. Boxing is more dangerous. Reason being that getting punched in to the head is really not good for you at all. There was this doctoral study about punches and their effects, I real a while ago. To make the story short boxing is not healthy at all. Even a single good normal punch to the head does cause changes in ones brain leading quite fast to changes in short term memory (to the bad). The changes are permanent. There is no healing or going back.

In boxing one receives far more punches to the head. After all to punch opponent to the head is the main objective. Also boxing gloves are much softer meaning that one can take (receive) far more punches versus some guy punching you with mma gloves. It has been also argued that one can punch way harder with boxing gloves as those gloves not only protect the hand better but hand wraps can be wrapped much tighter (increased protection) where as in MMA you have to actually be able to open your hand instead just making fist. It is not actually that rare for fighters in MMA to fracture their hands as a result of punching their opponent. Back in the days of UFC 1-5 when there were no gloves it was more like a rule that one would fracture his own hand if he were to punch his opponent hard with fist. Lot of guys lost matches just because they were unable to continue after landing a good one straight to opponents head.

I am afraid that boxing is more dangerous and that is not a good thing. Regarding toughness I don't think it can be said to either way. In my honest opinion toughness is up to the individual regardless of what sport he does.

I can kick a barstool and like 60% and not feel alot of anything. why would someone die if there was a count in mma? If somebody gets kicked in the face and falls down they get pounced on and finished, Sorry if this seems biased but a knee, elbow or kick to the face does alot more structural damage to your body then a single punch. A good kick is at least twice as hard as a punch and theres no padding. Its bone on bone. So if you give someone a roundhouse kick to the head and they fall down and the ref starts a count.... instincts kick in and the fighter attempts to get back up. all thats going to happen is another hard bone on bone strike or a clinch with like 30 unanswered knees to the head.

As for long term damage Of course boxing is worse for you the ammount of shots landed are not comparable.

U train ur shin yes but not ur rib, u cant train that. At least not more than boxers who also takes hard punches there, maybe even more.
U can get used to the pain but thats not the same.
I dont see why a count would kill anyone, if u get knocked down and get up and in condition to continue then the ref will let it go on. If your too badly hurt, he will just stop it. I dont see any difference at all. I think a count would be a good thing, would make the fights lasts longer and be more interresting. Everyone loves the fights when one gets knocked down then comes back to win the fight.

Lmao train your ribs? good point mikkel no one can train there ribs it just depends on how strong your bones on and how often you get hit.
