Past traumas show up as recognizable patterns on EEG's. Trust me, I was part of an NIH study. They had plenty to look at. (Boxing,skateboarding,motocross,snowboarding) One of the most dangerous idiotic things you can do (or frequently a coach) is allow yourself to be exposed to even a mild shock or concussive event after you've been RECENTLY concussed. Think football players getting their "bell rung" then going back out after the "cobwebs" clear- or even next game sometimes. It's like getting tagged over your eye and it starts to swell- but isn't cut- abraded but not cut. Then bang - it gets hit again- and then it does bleed. If that happens to your brain you're a dead man in all but the most lucky of cases. Think about guys with great chins that finally get KO'ed, after that 1st time they always seem to be more vulnerable. Just like any other injury the more time you give it to heal the better chance you have of no ill effects later. But just like the eye example, if you end up with scar tissue over that eye, even if your fully healed, that area is gonna cut more easily next time, but you don't have a cut man for your brain. If tests show "scar tissue" in a fighters scans they're done. I hope Sean is OK. I hope he fully recovers and takes a lot of time off if they clear him to fight again. Brain trauma is cumulative.

I think I’ll take Armando Garcia’s word for it. I know that’s a dangerous prospect, but I doubt he would lie about something like this." Salmon's brother just posted on the UG and said that he did not suffer a seizure. Garcia was talking out of his ass like usual. Pretty silly too state he suffered a seizure without knowing 100% for sure. Garcia doesn't know his head from his ass. “What do you mean he didn’t suffer a seizure?

Beating Miller could have maybe gotten him a contract extension in the UFC after being 0-2.
