Former UFC fighter: I lost my sight on my left eye because of fighting

Former UFC fighter Renato Sobral stressed that because of the battles he lost his health and would not allow his children to practice MMA.

“Today I can’t walk in a straight line, I have lost my sight on my left eye. I am not able to keep balance, this is a great price. When I fight, my balance is normal again, but it gets harder every day. Guys who are just starting their careers in MMA should know that they have to pay a big price. People are now talking only about their achievements, but what about the loss?” said Sobral.

“I would not let my son to perform in MMA. Daughter? Hope she won't. It would be more pleasant for me to see how successful she is in her studies. Sport? This requires a lot from your body, and in the future you will pay a high price,” Renato Sobral said.
