Brain Health In Mixed Martial Arts with Chris Cannon of M2MMA

On this episode of the Neurologic Wellness Podcast, Dr. David Traster sits down with Chris Cannon of M2MMA to discuss how technology is transforming safety in combat sports. We explore how AI, real-time biometric tracking, and centralized medical data are improving our understanding of concussions and traumatic brain injury (TBI). With innovations like smart gloves and mouthguards, athletes can train smarter, recover better, and extend their careers. We also address the cultural and financial barriers that prevent fighters from reporting injuries, and why shifting toward a brain-first approach is critical for the future of combat sports.
