881  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A New Study - Bitcoin is 56x more energy Efficient than Traditional Banks on: October 03, 2022, 10:24:53 PM
You just gave me a new perspective on why traditional banking services still prevail. Human intellect can not be compared to machines and robots and they still offer a wide range of services that bitcoin lacks. But I am predicting that bitcoin might start offering these services in the nearest future.

I don't see how Bitcoin would start offering services other than simple money transfers. DeFi is an attempt to to that, and as we can see it's centralized and unsafe, and it fails to provide any solutions that would be useful for the masses, like loans without a collateral. It's limited to just trading altcoins for altcoins, which is not useful for real world economy.

It's fair to say bitcoin is good but it can't compare to the banking system. We are investors, bitcoiners, but we should not exaggerate bitcoin and fall into the illusion that bitcoin is everything, can replace the banking system or anything else. What we don't like about the bank is that it is too centralized and we don't have full control over our assets when using the bank, but the services it offers are undeniable, in addition to savings, banks lend us with mortgages or with suitable interest rates. When we need money urgently to handle our business, bitcoin or cryptocurrency cannot provide such loans, not even our loved ones are willing to help us. But the bank is a place we can think of as long as we agree to the arrangements they make. We can borrow to decide on work. In my opinion, banking is still necessary in our lives, like it or not.

Actually I'm not too surprised by Inter Milan's defeat to AS Roma this week. Even though they had taken the lead, they failed to hold on after Paulo Dybala scored. They appeared to dominate the game, but their attacks were not very effective with only 2 shots on target and 1 of them managed to go. While it was recorded 15 times they did an experiment that missed the target. AS Roma also did the same, but they were more effective by producing 2 goals so that it became a victory for Jose Mourinho's squad.
Another tough match awaits them ahead which is Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League. Their hopes are very small in this match.
The black cloud seems to still be covering Inter Milan.  The series of bad results they got made their internal situation even more heated.  Reportedly, Inter players no longer trust each other.  A situation like this will certainly be very detrimental to the club as a whole.  Inter management should be able to immediately take action to dismiss Inzaghi, without having to wait for the match with Barcelona which I think will also lose again.  If their form continues like this, the Nerazzurri squad could end the season in a miserable position.

The bond between Inter Milan players is not good right now. Due to the lack of understanding between the players, they are not playing well. Their performance is much poorer than the previous season. They have lost three of their last five matches. Although they scored 14 goals in 8 matches, they conceded 13 goals. They cannot return to the truck until the defences are improved.
Since Inter Milan's defence is so weak right now, it is very difficult to win against a team with a strong attack like Barcelona. So I would say Inter Milan should try to play the match defensively.

I still trust Ten Hag regarding the player of his choice. Even though they lost heavily in this match, but we can't forget the 4 consecutive wins they recorded. There is still a lot of time for them to improve, because they have only passed 7 games out of a total of 36 matches in the Premier League. I will not comment much on this crushing defeat because Manchester City are stronger than them in the last few seasons. We'll see what changes Ten Hag will make after his team is defeated in the derby.
If you look at the composition of players from between the two teams, of course, Manchester City has quality players that are far from MU, Manchester City's midfield and front lines are currently really good, almost no gaps, only lacking in the back line
Slowly but surely, I saw that Ten Hag had managed to revive MU a bit, only how could Ten Hag be able to take advantage of the existing players because so far CR7 has very little playing time, he needs a lot of trust from Ten Hag
The advantage that Manchester City has this season is in attack, since Haaland joined Manchester City their goal tally has increased. Haaland arrival gave Manchester City a huge advantage, this season he has scored 14 for Manchester City in the Premier League. Guardiola should pay more attention to the back line, conceding three goals from Manchester United means Manchester City back line is not good. Guardiola must close the gap so that his team does not easily concede.
While Manchester United must return to repair after conceding 6 goals, Ten Hag cannot be silent with the conditions Manchester United is currently experiencing, he must arrange the squad to be even more solid in the next match.
City Haaland striker I admit that the playing power is very good up front, making it difficult for Manchester United to stop Haaland's movement at the back. I think this one of the attackers will continue to be relied on when playing an important role. Coach Pep Guardiola entrusts all of this to become a weapon of victory. And I think MU coach Erik Ten is still confused about applying the Manchester United strategy player pattern

Ten Hag have not been able to prepare a stable match strategy for Manchester United so far. However, it is very time-consuming. A team cannot be stabilized too quickly. Ten Hag needs several talented players to stabilize his team. I wouldn't say that Manchester United's attack is weak right now. However, their attack is still not able to perform consistently because their midfielders and defenders are not performing well. If the midfield and defence players play well, United's attacking performance will be stronger. Ten Hag now needs an experienced defender.

I expect them to be not very prepared against Barcelona as well. But Barcelona are in a pretty solid condition now. No matter where this match is played, I think Barcelona would defeat them anyway. Therefore Barcelona win @1.82 is pretty attracting to bet on.
Your assessment of Inter Milan is accurate, however you can't be so certain that Barcelona will beat them in the champions league despite the fact that they lost in their first game following the break. Teams put more effort in the Champions League than they do in league matches because of how beneficial it is to advance.
Barcelona's match against Inter Milan tomorrow won't be easy for them to win, despite the fact that they are currently in good form. It will undoubtedly be a tough game for them to win. Inter Milan will definitely strengthen their defense to avoid conceding goals. Let’s watch out and see.

Both Inter Milan and Barcelona have strong squads. But now Barcelona is in a stronger position than Inter Milan. And Barcelona's players are now more confident after going top of the points table in La Liga. When players are confident, it becomes very difficult to beat them. And so even though Inter Milan's squad is strong, it is very challenging for them to get points against Barcelona now. I think we will probably see Barcelona win this match. But the match will definitely be competitive.

Atalanta will faced difficult opponent today because Fiorentina is a team they can't beat even last season Atalanta has lose twice from Fiorentina so although Fiorentina performance were quite poor this season but they are tough opponent for Atalanta and this is first test for Atalanta because if they can able to win the match then they will have equal points with Napoli and for bet option i think both teams to score could be good pick considering their previous meetings Atalanta and Fiorentina can scoring goals each other
Fiorentina is weaker that the previous season while Atalanta is better. It will be a surprise if Fiorentina could pick a point from them and regarding scoring, everything could happen although Atalanta received only 3 goals after 7 rounds.

In yesterday's game, I see Roma beating Inter 2-1 after being behind. I left them 1-1.
Milan won vs Empoli but in extra time when they scored 2 goals! All of this will make Juve's job to catch them a little harder.

Atalanta Vs Fiorentina
Considering the recent form of Atalanta it is hard to say that they are going to lose against Fiorentina in this match. It's even hard to think that this is going to be even drawn. I think this is going to be another win for Atalanta. And with this win, Atalanta should be able to level the points with Napoli.

Juventus is going to play against Bologna in their next match. Juventus should be able to get ahead of Inter Milan after winning this match against Bologna. Considering that they will be able to win this match. The way they are playing a draw is not out of context here.
 
Roma made a great comeback against Inter. After being down by 1-0 they did really well to win the match by 1-2

Milan 1 : 3 Empoli was interesting because it felt like all the actions happened after the allotted 90 minutes of the match.

Here are the results for the UFC Fight Night: Dern VS Yan

Mackenzie Dern VS Xiaonan Yan ROUND 5 DECISION - LOST
Well, Xiaonan Yan has held up to that submission and gets back up, so that was really impressive, and from what I see Yan Striking was really fast enough to release that volume of strikes, to Dern, that is why all 5 rounds were a majority for Yan, and mostly all of Yan's side kicks were getting in, you can see when Xiaonan's punches get into Dern you can see Mackenzie Dern's reaction on Yan's punches, you can see that Dern really struggle with that takedowns,

Randy Brown VS Francisco Trinaldo ROUND 3 DECISION - WIN
The reach and height of Randy Brown really did have an advantage through the fight but surely those takedowns from Trinaldo is something that Brown have anticipated and he surely is brushing off those submission attempts, but surely the volume of strikes have accumulated was really punishing for Trinaldo, and this fight ends up in a decision both fighters was great it was a

Mackenzie Dern VS Xiaonan Yan
Yan won the fight because of having a more significant strike percentage compared to Mackenzie. And it was really great to see how she defended the submission attempts from Mackenzie. But I have to say at the same time Mackenzie did try to be aggressive. But she could not land clean shots. The defense from Yan was too good.

Randy Brown VS Francisco Trinaldo
This was a hard-fought victory for Randy brown. And I really feel like the decision could have gone either way. But I have to say Randy Brown with the knockdown had the advantage. This was a really close match and I also believe that the decision was also a tough one.

Casper Ruud was upset in the Korea Open by Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka. Ruud who recently become the second seed, will lost that spot next week to Nadal as a result of this lost.

First time since I can remember that the #1 and #2 will be of the same nation, Spain,

And so with that win, Nishioka will either face Mackenzie McDonald or Aleksandar Kovacevic next.

Really did not expect Rudd against Nishioka. That was a big upset in my opinion. As of now, Nishioka's next match has not been decided yet.
In the next match, it will be really interesting to see how he performs and how his performance will affect the match. As he is coming off a really big win, he will definitely be confident going into this match. The fact of the matter is that it is very unlikely that he will be able to win the next match in this competition.
It will also be interesting for me to see how Rafael Nadal will perform in this competition as well.

News update on Jonny Bones Jones, only a picture hehehehehe.



I am shocked. I saw videos before, however, it did not look for Jon Jones to be this giant. This also certainly makes it appear that Francis Ngannou might have a real challenge hehe. I predict Dana to make the announcement after UFC 281.

I heard that John Jones wants to fight Francis Ngannou on his return to the UFC.
The first time I heard about it was when Chael Sonnen discussed it on YouTube.


https://youtu.be/qo83Dvg1YZI

Honestly, I doubt this guy. However, it appears as though this is going to be a good fight for John Jones.
Moreover, if he manages to defeat Francis Ngannou, then it is going to be great for him.
But it is Francis Ngannou we are talking about. So, this is not going to be easy at all.

I watched today's match completely, I am totally disappointed, I thought Pakistan can do better, Pakistan's batting was very good, but Pakistan's bowlers bowled very badly. It is really a shame for Pakistan. England batsmen were able to play the Pakistani bowlers very easily, they had no confusion to play the Pakistani bowlers. England batsmen played well. England played very well so England deserved to win today's match England batsmen gave a very good performance, Pakistan scored 169 for 6 in 20 overs and set England a target of 170 runs. England achieved the target by two wickets in 16 overs.

I would not say that Pakistan's batsmen performed very well. Babar Azam was unbeaten on 87 runs. Besides, Iftikhar Ahmed scored 31 runs. Moreover, none of Pakistan's batsmen could play well. Pakistan could have easily collected 185-190. The pitch was not bowling-friendly.
The performance of Pakshikhani bowlers was very bad. England's two openers had more than 200 strikes on the night. Phil Salt scored 88 runs off 41 balls. Pakistani bowlers gave 50 runs in the first 3 overs. After 3 overs it was pretty clear that Pakistan was going to lose the match.

So far there are only 3 unbeaten teams, that is marseille, PSG, and Lens. marseille ended the match against angers perfectly, they scored 3 goals and it made them top of the standings. PSG will face NICE, it is certain that PSG will win because NICE's performance is very bad. marseille's position will be shifted.
I expected to see PSG running alone by 10 points difference by the 10th round but Marseille and Lens are doing good so far and hopefully they could continue doing the same.
Marseille will face PSG in two weeks then Lens a week later. Lens will face Lyon, Lille, Montpellier then Marseille which are quite hard games.
Regarding the upcoming games before the international break for World Cup, the ranking might shift a little bit.
Marseille started their season very well, scoring loads of goals and also keeping things very tidy at the back too, they're the 2nd higest scoring team in the Frenc league this season, and they also have the 2nd best defensive record. From what I've noticed from the French Ligue 1 over the past few seasons is that you really can tell which team are going to have phenomenal season, after about the first 10 games or thereabout, I don't expect them to provide a stiff competition with PSG in terms of the title chase though, but I reckon that they're going to have pretty decent season.

As Marseille continued to perform consistently well. Dominating Ligue 1 is becoming increasingly difficult for PSG. Marseille is now at the top of the points table. However, if PSG wins the next match, they will be two points ahead of Marseille. PSG will have to play every match very carefully. If they lose a point in a match, they will be relegated. But I doubt whether Marseille can continue their streak. Because we see Ligue 1 teams start the season well but gradually they start falling behind. And at the end of the season, they were about 8/10 points behind PSG.

Napoli really get attention in the Champions League this time. Napoli really are in their best form this season. not only in the Champions League but also in the Italian League Serie A. Even against Liverpool Napoli can win with a lot of scores. and in the next match Napoli will be against Ajax. I can't predict this match yet. although I have a feeling that Napoli are a bit ahead and will probably win. but I want to know what you think about the prediction of the match between Napoli vs Ajax. Which team do you think is superior and will be the winner in the match between Napoli vs Ajax?
Based on their performance so far, showed that Napoli will win Ajax 2-0 because Napoli defenders and midfielders are well organized in this season for any team to have access to their goalpost to defeat them. I think, Napoli is superior because their strikers has many skills they are using to achieve points from any competition in this season. I don't think, Ajax can make this match draw because they are still lacking in the area of defense which will be one of the advantage Napoli strikers will use to score many goals that will bring them victory at the end of the match for people to believe that they are the superior to Ajax in this season.

If Napoli can maintain the consistency they have shown in their first two matches against Liverpool and Rangers, they will not face too much trouble to win against Ajax. In the first two matches, Napoli scored 7 goals and conceded only one goal. Napoli has now secured the top spot in Serie A.

But the Ajax team is not weak. They can become even more formidable in home matches. So Napoli will have to perform very carefully if they want to hold on to the top spot in Group A. However, Napoli is the favourite in this match. Because they are in better form than Ajax. But I think the match is going to be a 2-2 draw.

Lens vs Lyon matches is always competitive. Lens has performed very well this season. They are yet to lose a match. They have been able to continue their good performance consistently. Lyon, on the other hand, has started the season well but has lost their last three matches. Lyon's squad is a strong one, albeit a bit off form right now.

I checked the statistics of the matches between Lens and Lyon. Lens has had no win against Lyon in the last 5 matches. Lyon won three matches. And Lens shared the points in their two home matches. My prediction is that the next match is also going to be a 1-1 draw.
Lens is unbeaten until week 8, but I don't think this record will last much longer if Lens competes with a stronger team. So far Lens have not met PSG in the league, it will probably be a tough challenge for Lens to maintain his record.

However, for the next two matches I'm probably sure Lens will be able to win it. Lyon and Lille are not strong enough defensively, it should be used by Lens to secure 3 points so it is possible for them to extend their unbeaten. For this week, Lyon will probably lose by Lens, because Lens is playing at home and also Lens is in good form to be expected to win.

I agree with you. Lens' performance this season has been steady. Because they are yet to face a strong opponent. They will face Lyon in the next match. Lyon has lost form quite badly. They have lost in the last three matches. However, in all three matches, the opponents were quite strong. They will definitely want to return to the truck. Lyon players will try their best to win against Lens. However, Lyon's defence is not strong enough. The defenders will have to play well if they want to win against Lens.

while Lyon who are winless in their last 3 matches will face undefeated Lens this season, it will be a tough match for Lyon.
Lyon and Lille actually in their appearance at the beginning of this season look almost the same with the same number of points as well. But for this season Lens still need to be wary of Lyon even though Lens have never been beaten earlier this season by another team. However, please note that Lens was beaten by Lyon last season and also had a draw when the two met, so Lens needs to play carefully if you don't want to be beaten by Lyon on October 3rd.

Lens vs Lyon matches is always competitive. Lens has performed very well this season. They are yet to lose a match. They have been able to continue their good performance consistently.

A well needed market cleansing. There's still so much heavily overpriced crap in the cryptocurrency markets in general that we deserve a bigger downtrend.

Every altcoin is heavily overpriced, because their objective value based on utility is $0. The previous bear markets failed to open the eyes of investors, new shitcoins simply replaced the old ones. Who knows how long will this delusion keep going on? Maybe the myth of "good project" and "blockchain revolution" will endure for many more years.

It is true that altcoins are overvalued for what they can offer. Bear market is necessary because to clean the market but not all altcoins are useless. Bitcoin is the birthplace of cryptocurrency, it has also faced much criticism and scorn from its traditional competitors but over time it has also proven its usefulness and real benefits to creating value today. Altcoins, they are a mess but not all useless and trash, eth is the altcoin that changed the crypto industry, thanks to which the market has evolved into what it is today, it has brought us many new things and has continuously evolved over the years. Crypto is an open market so it's very messy, which is understandable, secondly, all of this is caused by human behavior, if we all weren't greedy then the scammers won't be able to generate those shitcoins.

It's amazing the level of bias from the members on these boards. You are all on a shared delusion. How long has bitcoin existed? Has it existed more than 100 years? 200 years? How long have you been alive?

Case and point gold and silver were here long before, and will be here long after both you, and bitcoin (the man made invention) are gone.

Governments can and will squash it if they want and there's no amount of arguing that will save it from becoming put under so much regulation that nobody will use it.

Store of value doesn't shed 40% of it's value... That's indicative of a ponzi scheme. How about lets talk about the trading bots that ultimately control the market, or am I a conspiracy theorist for pointing this out?

I expect completely biased individuals to jump in and try to rationalize all the ways that I'm supposedly wrong. But the fact is you all cannot argue with history, and what world banks and governments are stockpiling. Don't forget, they can blow you up, at that point your monetary pipe dream theories all go out the window.

After all, there is nothing wrong with what you say. To be fair, bitcoin's future is uncertain, in terms of its safety not comparable to gold or older assets. But bitcoin is a wonderful invention that we have today, you won't find another tool or a convenient store of assets like bitcoin, or it can be used as an instant means of cross-border payments...It can be seen that the benefits that bitcoin brings over gold or fiat are indisputable.

We still live in a world where the government is still the one that controls everything, so it's really impossible to fight them if they want to. But we still have the right to hope because all governments don't think alike. USD used to be the dominant currency in the world but now many countries are also starting to refuse to use it and find ways to create a different monetary system. It will take a long time to do that, it will probably fail, but it shows that governments are not all the same. So we still have hope with bitcoin, things can change as people's needs change.
896  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: At what point do you sell your Bitcoin forever, OR wait to buy back later ??? on: September 27, 2022, 09:29:09 PM
Never sell is the most bullshit thing I heard from crypto people because most of them that spouting that nonsense are those who just want quick profit and they are using that word for shilling purposes. We are all buying Bitcoin to invest and earn in the future so no one in the right mind who will not sell there holdings if they already have a good profit. They should just throwaway there private key if they really want to not sell.  Cheesy

The best way to do is to read the trend in longer time frame. Buy when there’s an obvious bear trend in longer time frame and vice versa. Don’t trade using short time frame because you will be just confused and panic to the price swings of Bitcoin.

The way I understand it when someone declares that they will never sell their bitcoins, it's not that they will keep their bitcoins until they die, they will sell when their profit target is reached or they want to assure people that they have absolute faith in bitcoin, no matter how much bitcoin falls they will never sell it. Many people hold bitcoins from 2013-2015 and so far they haven't sold bitcoins when you ask them during this bear season they will say "never sell".
Those who really understand and see the value of bitcoin have no reason to sell their bitcoins too soon or get too low a profit to sell.

PSG's failure in round of 16 of the Champions League last season was the worst achievement in PSG's last three seasons in the Champions League. despite having won in Leg 1 of round of 16, but in the end PSG had to be eliminated in leg 2 after get resistance from Madrid and end with 3-2 on aggregate.
This will be the first season for PSG's new coach in the Champions League, Christophe Galtier has the main task of bring PSG not to repeat the same mistakes as last season. Based on PSG's activity in the transfer market this season, they appear to be focus on improving their defense and midfield with the deals of several new players like Vítor Ferreira for example.
Last season they were unfortunate to face Real Madrid early while they are destroying every team they stand in front of them. Previously, it was Mbappe the one that was shining while the others aren't playing top.
This season is quite different. Messi is doing good, Neymar and Mbappe too. In addition to the reinforcement that was done, I assume they will be a hard challenger for City, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Yes, you are right. but last season SPG was not as strong as it is today, as well as the strategies used by the coach then and now are different. currently SPG has strengthened its squad with several new arrivals, it seems, galtier is able to bring his squad much better than last season.
last season messi was not in his best form, this season galtier is able to bring messi to be a key player in every PSG game. messi always contributes to his colleagues, whether neymar or mbappe.
Obviously, currently SPG is a tough contender for other big clubs competing in the champions league.
PSG had plenty of star players last season too. However, their performance was not good. This is because the bonding between the players was not strong. Moreover, PSG's match strategy was weak. Due to this, we don't see consistent performances from PSG despite having many star players in the squad.
PSG's performance has changed since Galtier took charge of the team. Galtier tried to solve minor problems within the team while also trying to strengthen the bonding between the players. And he has been quite successful. PSG is a very stable team now.
in my opinion about last season they didn't have great difficulties in winning the french league, they just had a problem in the defense where they conceded a lot of goals, something that started to be solved with the passage of time and about last season's champions league, they even got far and were unlucky, but they could have made it to the finals, it wasn't a bad season for them at all, I'm just talking about last season. about this new coach, well so far he managed to make the PSG defense very good compared to last season, he also managed to make neymar play regularly and score goals, honestly that is a great achievement , the guy didn't even look like he played for PSG due to so much injury he had and wouldn't allow him to play for a long period of time

PSG's defence was poor last season. Yet their performance was not too bad. They were Unfortunately defeated in the Champions League. I would say, PSG's only weakness this season is Mbappe. Galtier has been able to strengthen PSG's defence and midfield very well. Also, goalkeeper Donnarumma is quite talented. PSG's defence and midfield do not show any weaknesses. If Mbappe behaved a bit more friendly with Messi and Neymar in attack, their attack would have been stronger. Mbappe should mature. PSG will perform well in this and Mabppe will be able to score a lot of goals and assists.

If Messi eventually comes to Barcelona back that means Barcelona has finally gotten a complete squad.  If xavi succeds in bringing Messi  that means it so certain for Barcelona to win the Laliga title and also to win the Champions League.  Messi's  was so used to Barcelona, Messi and lewandowski will be a good combination.
Not necessarily, the return of Messi in the Barcelona squad does not guarantee Barcelona can win the La Liga title and the Champions League at the same time. Messi can help improve the quality of Barcelona game, his quality as a reliable goalscorer cannot be doubted, he can also spoil Barcelona attackers with perfect passes.
Speaking of titles, Messi has won so many titles with Barcelona, but there is no guarantee that Barcelona can immediately get a title if Messi is back in the Barcelona squad.

I agree with you.  There is no doubt that Messi is a great player. But it cannot be guaranteed that Barcelona will actually win the title at Barcelona. Continuity of performance is definitely needed to win the title and I would say a bit of luck too.
However, Barcelona's current squad is very strong. If they can maintain consistency they can win the title. Defenders, midfielders and forwards are all performing well now. Now they need a strong match strategy. I see Barcelona as the favourites for the Champions League and La Liga titles this season.

If you think MMA is more barbaric and brutal compared to boxing you obviously haven't done your research. I would suggest you look up how many fighters have died in the last 5 years in MMA and how many fighters have died in the last 5 years in boxing. In MMA, or in the UFC which is the most popular stage of MMA, the fight is stopped whenever one fighter gets knocked out or concussion. But in boxing, if a fighter is knocked out there is a count of 10. If the fighter stands on his feet in the count of 10, he can continue and after that, he gets beat up more and more.

This is a list of fighters dying because of boxing:
List of deaths due to injuries sustained in boxing

And this is a list of fighters dying because of MMA:
Has Anyone Died in UFC (MMA)?

Now tell me which one is more brutal?
I think he mean about barbaric and brutal is about bloody or huge cuts that's usually happen on MMA rather than boxing, not about death. I tend to agree boxing is more dangerous than MMA since the stoppage on boxing are to late until the boxer fall down after taking so many punches.

MMA are more flexible to hit on most part of your body and you can win via submission that doesn't make you have serious injury, while boxing is more targeted to your head which increase the chance of getting brain damage.
Now point me where in the post that you have quotes I have written that MMA is more brutal, lol? And be my guest, read my posts that came after what you have quoted and I think you would be amazed. If not still not amazed, redo that until amazed  Grin

@TopTort777 I got your point dear,,

I think that getting cut is far better compared to not being alive.

We all know about the broken bone injury that can happen in MMA. That certainly does not happen in boxing. But broken bones can heal. I think we all know about Parkinson's disease. The best boxer of all time,  Muhammad Ali suffered from Parkinson's disease because of getting hit on the head too much. At least those don't happen in MMA.  I know that at one point in life everyone has Parkinson's disease because of being old. But because of boxing that can happen a lot quicker.

The point that I am trying to make is, injuries from MMA can be career-ending, but injuries from boxing can be life-ending.
