🚨 O corte de peso precisa acabar! 🚨

O corte de peso, uma medida de segurança, está sendo completamente deturpada por métodos drásticos e perigosos de corte de peso! Lutadores se desidratam passando dos limites, colocando a própria vida em risco, apenas para recuperar a maioria todo do peso antes da luta.

Já está mais do que provado que isso não traz vantagem real – só serve para danificar o corpo, órgãos, desidratar o cérebro, aumentar os riscos de concussão e falência de órgãos. Isso não é um sacrifício necessário, é uma atrocidade que precisa ser abolida!

Precisamos da mudança de mentalidade no esporte. Lutador forte é lutador saudável! 💪🔥

Marque aqui quem precisa entender essa verdade! #MMA #SemCorteExtremo #LutadorForteÉLutadorSaudável

CTE is caused in part by repeated traumatic brain injuries, which include concussions and nonconcussive impacts. This does not mean a handful of concussions, in the absence of other hits to the head, puts you at risk for CTE; most people diagnosed with CTE suffered hundreds or thousands of head impacts over the course of many years playing contact sports, serving in the military, or, more rarely, as victims of interpersonal violence. @concussionfoundation by @fightingfoundation

There is no cure for CTE but there is cure for ignorance. Currently athletic commissions, promotions, or even gyms do not require anyone to demonstrate any level of brain health or any health knowledge. Changing this is a simple reform that will certainly help athletes make better choices regarding their careers and future. by @fightingfoundation
