What are you going to do, prevent them from training? MMA is dangerous, even to practice.

While there are risks, I wouldn't call training dangerous unless you, your sparring partner, or your gym in general is stupid.
That's unrealistic. People who train combat sports are constantly injured in one way or another. I doubt you could find a single fighter who didn't have something hurt at any given point in time. Add to that a huge financial incentive to train harder than the other guy, and you have accumulations or accidents that cancel fights. I'd rather have no fight than a lopsided one due to injury.

I'd post a list of injuries sustained by high profile fighters during training and ask you if you think they are all stupid but instead I'll just tell you to go train instead.

My professional record is 7-2. I've had a couple minor injuries in training, but never before a fight.

Gavinrad wanted to keep this quiet so that people wouldn't hound him on here, but it looks like the cat is out of the bag.Here he is.He only counts his UFC record, since everything before then was just amateur hour as far as he's concerned.

I told you that in confidence. I'm not getting you tickets to any more of my fights.

Cormier has a fight and back on the card against Patrick Cummins. I guess they used to train together and Patrick claims he used to beat him in sparing. Seems legit? Meh

edit: UFC announced they are getting rid of the KOTN and SOTN bonuses starting this week. They'll be replaced with 2 "Performance" of the Night bonuses. Basically they're just giving themselves leeway so they're not stuck awarding a mediocre finish if it's the only one of the type. So instead they'll just give the same bonuses to the 2 best fighters of the night regardless of finish.
