How Dangerous Is MMA?

This Press-Democrat profile of ringside physician Dr. Gary Furness paints a grisly picture of MMA behind the scenes:

The knockout was the scariest moment of the night, but certainly not the only medical issue facing Furness. He had to deal with another broken nose, a heavyweight staggering from extreme dehydration, one 170-pounder whose head had been gashed open by repeated elbows, and another with a fractured bone in his right hand and a second-degree AC separation in his right shoulder, among other maladies.

Just another night at the fights.
