UFC featherweight star Sodiq Yusuff says Mixed Martial Arts is less dangerous than boxing. While fighters in the MMA make use of almost every part of their bodies (legs, elbows, knees, fists) during fights, professional boxers only make use of their fists, which is protected by well-padded gloves, but Yusuff insists boxing is more dangerous, with the head the major target. So, you’re going through multiple concussions in one fight,” Yusuff told The PUNCH. However, there have been no deaths in UFC history. As for MMA in general, there were seven deaths in sanctioned fights and nine in unsanctioned fights, according to wayofmartialarts.com.
