Dangerous sport?

During first Years Ninety, when the mixed martial limbs came launch in America, newspapers, moralisti and politicians began endured tuonare against the "barbarisms" of the sport. With a debatable one chosen of marketing, the organizers of pubblicizzavano Ufc their events making lever on the lowest instincts of the public who coveted blood and violence. With great teatralità, before the encounter, the announcers declared that not there were rules (than it was not true, inasmuch as also to the beginnings rules against the attacks to the eyes existed, against the bites, etc...). The sport came soon therefore renamed "not holds barred", or as they called it the Brazilians "are worth tudo" (the whose obvious translation is "is worth all", in other words nothing rules). The least rules, the lack of guantoni, the fact that to its albori the sport did not preview categories of weight and the remarkable differences in the level of ability between the athletes created a reputation of extreme violence that still today the sport is trying to scrollarsi of back. In the course of the years, ulterior rules came additions, introduced categories of weight, and the small letters gloves from are worth tudo came rendered obbligatori. But very to see, also in their more brutal period, the mixed martial limbs were less dangerous for its practicing of how much it are not one sport of combat asserted like the boxing. It is not a coincidence, in fact, than the Greek antichi they considered the fight like the sport from less dangerous combat, to according to place pancrazio (the ancestors of the mixed martial limbs), and to the level higher dangerousness put the boxing. This, obviously, seems to go against the more elementary logic.
The boxing is full of restrictions (nothing soccer, nothing blows under to the belt, nothing stranglings, nothing levers to the articulations, nothing ginocchiate, nothing elbowed, nothing fight to earth, nothing projections, and so on), while the mixed martial limbs allow infinitely more means in order to attack the adversary. It is therefore obvious to suppose that the mixed martial limbs are more dangerous, but paradoxicalally the opposite one is true. The remarkable number of dead and permanent damages (you ask Muhammad Alì) caused from the boxing does not have parallels in the history of the mixed martial limbs. A combatant has never gone also far close to die in the ring of this sport that apparently seems more brutal. The reasons go searched in two facts. The first one is just the guantoni that theoretically they render the surer and civilizzato boxing. They are in many to forget, in fact, that the guantoni they are not wears to you in order protect the adversary, but in order protect the own hands. The human hand is not designed in order to close itself to fist and to hit.
There are too many small boneses and fragile in a hand and to hurl these boneses to fist closed against very more large and powerful boneses of the ace it is not one of the better ideas. It is for this reason that a most remarkable number of boxers when is found again to fight for road puts the adversaries fastly ko but breaks off the hands (asks Mike Tyson), inasmuch as without the protection offered from guantoni the possibilities of fracture increases proportionally with the power in the blows that the boxer succeeds to generate. In other words, the guantoni they do not help who if she finds them prints to you in face, but only who wears them.
The only "aid" that the guantoni they offer to the adversary is the fact that reduces the possibilities that a combat comes stopped for wound, inasmuch as to hit to hands knots it renders easier to let out the blood. Far away the being an advantage, this renders the more dangerous boxing from the moment that it increases to the duration of the encounter and therefore the number of fists that succeed in to shake the brain. The other reason for which the mixed martial limbs they are paradoxicalally less dangerous of the boxing is simple. Anyone has seen an encounter of boxe knows well that the combatant who finds itself in difficulty will immediately try to embrace the adversary in a clinch, so as to to interrupt the sequence of blows that arrive to it in face. While in the mixed martial limbs this is permission, therefore like it is allowed to carry the adversary to earth and to try to end the encounter with a strangling and a lever that force the adversary to abandon without to endure serious damages, in the boxing the arbitrator succeeds in to separate the contendenti that they recommence to hit itself.
The number of blows to the head that in the long run can cause damages to the brain is incredibly more high in the boxing that in the mixed martial limbs, inasmuch as the boxing is based exclusively on hitting, while the mixed martial limbs preview other possibilities. This is the secret that even renders less dangerous the mixed martial limbs of the boxing (and of football the American second statistics on the accidents), although the fact that the appearances can indicate the contrary.
