TBI in MMA

[Lamont Cranston]

Towards the end of his life Shawn Tompkins was advocating that his guys don't spar as much and when they do it's not gym wars style.

The gym in the beginning used to basically fight every day and it weeded out guys who really could have been something decent because it wasted their talent in the gym.

I saw so many guys burn out, fade away, get ruined, but no one really knew there was another way.

The gym was feared in the early days because if you worked out of that gym the actual fight was the easy part.

But as he moved on to work with other gyms, Hendo's, Extreme Couture, Tap Out, and specific fighters he was evolving and understanding that the sport of MMA wasn't boxing or kickboxing and the training shouldn't be that way.

I wish he had lived longer because he was really turning around the way guys were training to extend their careers and their lives.

I have to point out though I’ve never fought professionally and I am a mean, smart assed person, I got tbi in an accident at the beginning of the year and it has messed with me. I am irritable and things don’t operate like they used to. It’s real and I’ve had treatments, a nasal stem cell and IV’s every week but I still get mindless sometimes and just off mentally according to friends who witness it. I’m not crying, just saying that it really messes with you, particularly under stress

Not a fan of Shaub, but this is pretty powerful.

This hurts my soul. I was a big supporter of Shane all the way back to his college wrestling days. I was the asshole on the UG saying "keep an eye on this dude, he's throwing guys over tables and he wants to do mma".
