parkinsons effects the neurotransmitters in the brain...but does punches to the head really effect it?

i dont see too strong of a connection here

well, bill oreilly said so, so im sure its fact

lol Bill shit all over them.

did we watch the same clip?
or maybe you should pass over what you've been smoking
so i can see it from your perspective.

That was fantastic, Bill took it in the ass on that one.

Bill O'rielly is a fool.

Franklin actually tries to correct him on his staff's mistakes in research and he cuts him off. Also he comments on ali (who has parkinsons) who is a boxer. Boxing is far more dangerous (regarding long term damage) than mma. As a former amatuer boxer I am disgusted at how the sport has gone and am impressed as to the lengths that many MMA organizations seem to take to protect their fighters.

Dana schools Bill, I can't believe that a journalist (and I use that term lightly) would be so misinformed as to his subject before trying to debate it.

What a douche bag.

SHUT UP!!!!! cut his mic.

any other thoughts on this...

Yes, MMA is alot of fun to watch but training for MMA if your life doesn't revolve around it isn't pretty.

yea^

have u seen Fedor Emelianenko or Wanderlei Silva train?

intense!

It's not the intensity thats bad its the knocks you take LoL nothing like showing up with a broken nose and black eye in a suit for a public presentation LoL, its tough training but power to them its cool and Mister the Spin stops here was a fool with that MMA interview with Rich and Dana.

Ali got his parkinsons for his rope-a-dope fighting....
