This question is to anyone who has been doing contact fighting such as Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Boxing, MMA etc for a long time.

I was just wondering if fighting in the ring has many bad implications for later on in life, physical and mental.

If you kickbox etc. for a long time is there a big chance of getting arthritis, bad joints, weak ligaments, brain damage etc?

I really dont know much about this type of stuff so maybe some of the people who have been fighting for many years or people with the scientific knowledge could help me out.

Thanks!
