I seen a body chart displaying the probability where a strike is likely to land depending on sport. I can't remember the exact figures: in boxing 80% - 90% of the strikes land to the head. Meanwhile in kickboxing and mma, the strikes were more evenly distributed throughout the legs and body.

There isn't less CTE though. The worst CTE is probably in muay thai guys

Fighting is an awful hobby and an even worse way to make a living
If you do this kind of stuff for any other reason than it's a fun way to exercise then you're a total cringe lord

Nope, dutch kickboxers have it worse. Muay thai sparring is light most of the time, they only go hard in 9 minutes fights. Dutch kickboxers spar hard alot.

>Why do people who aren't having any data recorded having lower instances of data than people who slightly have data recorded

Nailed it. We have studies on hundreds of boxers and football players. As far as we can tell, kickboxers and MMA fighters have the exact same exposure to risk. But because you can only diagnose CTE with certainty after death, there's no official data yet. Don't expect to ever see this data for muay thai. That culture refuses to acknowledge the extent of the problem.

Ok but explain the lack of symptoms in legendary oldschool kickboxers? I dont know any K1,old school muay thai,full contact karatekas that shows any signs of alzhemeirs. MMA/UFC is younger than kickboxers and yet the fighters there show more symptoms.

Even pro wrestling has more CTE than kickboxing ever will....
