MMA vs Boxing: duration of fighting and exposure to beatings

  • Professional boxing: 12 rounds of 3 minutes plus 36 minutes of exposure to strikes, the vast majority of which are head-to-head. : 12 rounds de 3 minutes = 36 minutes d’exposition aux frappes, dont une grande majorité à la tête.

  • Professional MMA: 3 rounds (15 min) or 5 rounds (25 min). The fighting is shorter but more intense, with the possibility of rapid skyrocketing. : 3 rounds (15 min) ou 5 rounds (25 min). Les combats sont plus courts mais plus intenses, avec possibilité de KO rapide.

A meta-analysis (Merrill et al., 2015) shows that the probability of concussion is twice as high in boxing as in MMA, for equal duration of practice.Merrill et al., 2015) démontre que la probabilité de commotion est deux fois plus élevée en boxe qu’en MMA, à durée égale de pratique.

4. Comparative statistics: MMA vs. Health hazard boxing

  • Boxing: average injury rate of 17.1 per 100 fights (Sports Medicine, 2011). Boxing: average injury rate of 17.1 per 100 fights (Sports Medicine, 2011). 17,1 pour 100 combats (Sports Medicine, 2011).

  • MMA Boxing: average injury rate of 17.1 per 100 fights (Sports Medicine, 2011). 28,6 pour 100 combats (Journal of Sports Science & Medicine, 2014).

This shows that:

  • Le MMA entraîne plus de blessures globales (fractures, lacérations, luxations).

  • La boxe entraîne plus de blessures neurologiques permanentes.

Conclusion: MMA vs Boxing, which is most dangerous to health?

  • Short-term: MMA is more traumatic for the body (fractures, cuts, sprains). : le MMA est plus traumatisant pour le corps (fractures, coupures, entorses).

  • In the long term: boxing is more harmful to the brain, with an increased risk of chronic traumatic encephalopathy and early dementia. : la boxe est plus dangereuse pour le cerveau, avec un risque élevé de séquelles neurologiques irréversibles (ETC, démence).

En résumé :

  • MMA = sport qui “casse” le corps, mais récupération souvent possible.

  • Boxe = sport qui “use” le cerveau, avec des dommages irréversibles.

MMA vs Boxe : dangers pour la santé – Analyse scientifique

MMA vs Boxing: Which sport poses the most dangerous to the health of combatants?
For several years, the issue has divided both enthusiasts and medical experts. These two disciplines, among the most popular in the world, involve serious short- and long-term health risks. From concussion to bone fractures, each sport exposes its practitioners differently. Based on medical studies, this article analyses the health hazards associated with MMA and boxing.

 

MMA vs Boxing: Neurological Hazards and Concussions

  • Boxing: average injury rate of 17.1 per 100 fights (Sports Medicine, 2011). :
    La boxe concentre la majorité de ses frappes sur la tête. Selon The Lancet Neurology (2017), jusqu’à 20 % des boxeurs professionnels développent une encéphalopathie traumatique chronique (ETC)Boxing concentrates the majority of its strikes on the head. According to The Lancet Neurology (2017), up to 20% of professional boxers develop chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CBT). Repeated strokes result in concussions, sometimes undiagnosed, which can cause early dementia, memory impairment and personality changes.

  • MMA :
    Le MMA diversifie ses frappes : poings, pieds, genoux, coudes, en plus des soumissions. Selon une étude de l’The MMA diversifies its strikes: fists, feet, knees, elbows, in addition to submissions. According to a study by the American Journal of Sports Medicine (2014), 30% of MMA fights end with KO/KO. Although the risk of loss of consciousness is high, the accumulation of repeated blows to the head is less than in boxing., 30 % des combats de MMA se terminent par KO/TKO. Bien que le risque de perte de conscience soit élevé, l’accumulation de coups répétés à la tête est moindre qu’en boxe.

Neurological conclusion: boxing is more dangerous for the brain in the long term. : la boxe est plus dangereuse pour le cerveau à long terme.

MMA vs Boxing: Musculoskeletal and Joint Injuries

  • Boxing: average injury rate of 17.1 per 100 fights (Sports Medicine, 2011). :
    Injuries are mostly concentrated on the face and hands: fractures of the nose, superficial cuts, bruises. A study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (2007) indicates that 70% of serious boxing injuries are neurological, while the others remain relatively benign. British Journal of Sports Medicine (2007) indique que 70 % des blessures graves en boxe sont d’ordre neurologique, tandis que les autres restent relativement bénignes.

  • MMA :
    Journal of Sports Science and Medicine, the most common injuries are:Journal of Sports Science and Medicine, 2014), les blessures les plus fréquentes sont :

    • Lacerations: 37.3 per cent 37,3 %

    • Fractures: 19.2 per cent 19,2 %

    • Entorses/luxations : 14,3 %

 Musculoskeletal finding: MMA causes more varied, but often less disabling, injuries in the long term. : le MMA provoque plus de blessures variées, mais souvent moins invalidantes sur le long terme.

Neurological risks: the determining factor

  • Boxing: average injury rate of 17.1 per 100 fights (Sports Medicine, 2011). :
    Une étude publiée dans The Lancet Neurology (2017) indique que A study published in The Lancet Neurology (2017) indicates that up to 20% of professional boxers develop chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTS), a cerebral degeneration caused by repeated blows to the head., une dégénérescence cérébrale causée par les coups répétés à la tête.
    Les coups de poing représentent près de 90 % des frappes dirigées vers la tête (Association of Neurological SurgeonsPunches account for nearly 90% of the Association of Neurological Surgeons, 2016, resulting in an accumulation of concussions, often undiagnosed.

  • MMA 
    Cranial traumas exist, but the distribution of strikes is more varied (pists, feet, knees, elbows, submissions). According to a study by the American Journal of Sports Medicine (2014), about 30% of MMA fights end with KO or TKO, involving loss of consciousness. However, the cumulative frequency of impacts at the head is lower than that observed in boxing.American Journal of Sports Medicine (2014), environ 30 % des combats de MMA se terminent par KO ou TKO, impliquant une perte de conscience. Toutefois, la fréquence cumulée des impacts à la tête est inférieure à celle observée en boxe.

Neurological conclusion: boxing is more dangerous for the brain in the long term. Neurological conclusion: boxing remains more dangerous for the brain in the long run due to the systematic repetition of blows to the head.

The most frequent injuries are fractures of the hands, nose and eyelid arches. A study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (2007) indicates that neurological injuries account for 70% of professional boxing injuries, while the rest are relatively minor. British Journal of Sports Medicine (2007) indique que les blessures neurologiques constituent 70 % des traumatismes en boxe professionnelle, les autres étant relativement mineures.

MMA

    The injuries are more diverse. An analysis of 1,118 MMA (Journal of Sports Science and Medicine, 2014) fights shows that the most frequent injuries concern:Journal of Sports Science and Medicine, 2014) montre que les blessures les plus fréquentes concernent :

    • Lacerations (37.3%)

    • Fractures (19.2%)

    • Sprains/luxations (14.3%)
      The lower and upper limbs are more stressed, resulting in more joint injuries than boxing.

Musculoskeletal finding: MMA causes more varied, but often less disabling, injuries in the long term. : le MMA présente une variété plus large de blessures, souvent spectaculaires mais moins lourdes en termes de séquelles neurologiques permanentes.

Duration and exposure of combat

  • Professional boxing: 12 rounds of 3 minutes plus 36 minutes of exposure to strikes, the vast majority of which are head-to-head. : 12 rounds de 3 minutes = 36 minutes de combat potentiel, avec une majorité de frappes portées à la tête.

  • Professional MMA (CFU): 3 rounds (15 min) or 5 rounds (25 min) less exposure time, but higher intensity. : 3 rounds (15 min) ou 5 rounds (25 min) = moins de temps d’exposition, mais intensité plus élevée.

A meta-analysis of Merrill et al., 2015 shows that the probability of experiencing a concussion is twice as high in boxing as in MMA for an equal duration of practice. Merrill et al., 2015 montre que la probabilité de subir une commotion est deux fois plus élevée en boxe qu’en MMA à durée égale de pratique.

Overall injury rate

  • Boxing: average injury rate of 17.1 per 100 fights (Sports Medicine, 2011). Boxing: average injury rate of 17.1 per 100 fights (Sports Medicine, 2011). 17,1 pour 100 combats (Sports Medicine, 2011).

  • MMA Boxing: average injury rate of 17.1 per 100 fights (Sports Medicine, 2011). 28,6 pour 100 combats (Journal of Sports Science & Medicine, 2014).

This means that MMA causes more overall injuries, but neurological severity is more pronounced in boxing.

Conclusion: which sport is most dangerous?

  • Short-term: MMA is more traumatic for the body (fractures, cuts, sprains). : le MMA engendre davantage de blessures diversifiées (fractures, luxations, lacérations).

  • In the long term: boxing is more harmful to the brain, with an increased risk of chronic traumatic encephalopathy and early dementia. : la boxe est plus nocive pour le cerveau, avec un risque accru d’encéphalopathie traumatique chronique et de démence précoce.

Summary

  • MMA - sport that "breaks" the body, various injuries but often recoverable.

  • Boxing and sport that “use” the brain, with irreversible sequelae.
