Heartbreaking Video
Fans have been left heartbroken after shocking footage emerged of veteran fighter Nam Phan's speech deteriorating over the years. The video shows a clear deterioration in Phan's speech throughout his career, from clear and easy to understand to slurred and slow.
A Devastating Comparison
Comparing the speech of UFC veteran Nam Phan over an 11 year span, it is evident that his speech slowed in later years, leading fans to express their sadness over the situation.
Possible Effects of CTE
It is possible that Phan, 41, is suffering from the effects of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disorder strongly linked to repeated head trauma. CTE can cause dementia, personality changes, and depression with no known cure or treatment.
Concern in the MMA Community
