Wanderlai looked pretty fucking good. I think Joe Rogan was hoping Silva would lose say he could say I told ya so, retire you punchdrunk fuck, but it looks like Silva is destined for a little bit more brain cell loss in the coming future.
Neuron loss only occurs with concusions and getting KO is not that bad. Most of the PET-scans of the brains of fighters show damage to dendrites but no actual loss of cell. The memory loss that fighters get after getting KO many times is most likely due to mechanical damage to the imprints of memory. Memories are nothing more than chemical imprints, and impacts to the head erase these imprints. Now boxing is a different story. The KOs in boxing are brutal and involve multiple impacts to the head. In this case, the neurons are killed. The PET-scans of the brains of boxers show a great loss of brain cell...
