Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease linked to repeated trauma to the head, often seen in individuals who have engaged in contact sports or suffered multiple concussions. The encephalopathy symptoms can be debilitating, impacting a person’s daily life, with manifestations including memory loss, confusion, and impaired judgment. As the disease progresses, it can lead to severe cognitive decline and behavioral changes, causing significant distress for both the individual and their loved ones. Furthermore, the correlation between CTE and dementia has increasingly come to light, shedding more light on the long-term consequences of head injuries. Witnessing a loved one endure the challenges of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease can indeed be a heart-wrenching experience, as these conditions not only take a toll on the individual’s mental faculties but also deeply affect the emotional well-being of the family and caregivers. The gradual decline and the loss of recognition from a once vibrant and active individual can be emotionally taxing, making it a challenging journey for all those involved.

Apparently, nobody talks about this… CTE Well, here on Jogo Corpo Fechado, it’s important to shine a light on this issue.

The impact of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) in fighters is a pressing concern that often gets overlooked. However, it’s crucial to recognize the gravity of this condition and its effects on the health and well-being of athletes. The term “the DARK Side of Fighting” emphasizes the hidden, distressing reality that many fighters face, long after they’ve left the spotlight. It’s imperative for the UFC and other fighting promotions to acknowledge the responsibility they hold in supporting these athletes. Collaboration among these organizations is essential to develop comprehensive programs that provide assistance and resources for fighters impacted by CTE, as well as their families. These athletes contribute significantly to the success and profitability of these promotions, and it’s only fitting that measures are taken to ensure their long-term welfare. By addressing this issue collectively, the fighting community can demonstrate its commitment to the fighters who have dedicated their lives to the sport.
