Even when training, fighters don't spar everyday and from what i understand it's not even once a week depending on where they are in the training process.

No gloves and the one punch ko also make it way better then boxing for your head. I do agree though down the road were gonna see some guys with long term effects but that's gonna happen with any sport.

When the first wave of guys like Hendo, Big Nog, Shogun, Wandy, etc. are about to be hitting the I can't remember my kids name/deep depression phase that will end. Knowing that, he's going to come out and say GSP's problems aren't that bad and he owes the UFC another fight? Your biggest draw just described anxiety, not being able sleep, and memory/vision loss. Let him do whatever he wants.

I remember when GSP was on Rogan's podcast they were referencing some weird stuff about GSP that they were not supposed to talk about. I guess he had an escape route planned from his home in case aliens came to get him, and some other weird stuff about how he loses time. I guess the UFC and/or GSP's management did not want him to get into it.
