I've been given a source which shows 11 aikido deaths in the past, lets say, 50 years. In the past 200 years there have been 800 deaths linked to boxing (which was bare knuckled for the first 100 years) as well as 13 deaths in Toughman contests due to cerebral damages.
You are the only one equating MMA with boxing.
You're trying to confuse the issue instead of defending your bias.

It will still be perceived as harmless fun by some, and ghoulish death watches by others. But to merely call cage fighting as less violent than auto racing, or boxing or hockey because of the number of deaths involved really depends on what you refer to as violent and/or dangerous.
Ghoulish death watches? Sheesh.

Now you're trying to equate 'violent' with 'dangerous'.
More misdirection.
You won't discuss this without confusion will you?
