"After the brutal KO of Simmler everyone has been wondering "does he have brain damage? does he have permanent brain damage?"One of the doctors says that it was a grade III concussion. Grade III concussions are very common in football and boxing and shouldn't have a permanent effect on Simmler. (Dolphins QB Trent Green suffered a Grade III last year from a brutal hit for comparison)"
Grade 3:
1. Any loss of consciousness, either brief (seconds) or prolonged (minutes)
Grade 3 concussion is usually easy to recognize—the athlete is unconscious for any period of time.
-Vacant stare (befuddled facial expression)
-Delayed verbal and motor responses (slow to answer questions or follow instructions)
-Confusion and inability to focus attention (easily distracted and unable to follow through with normal activities)
-Disorientation (walking in the wrong direction, unaware of time, date. and place)
-Slurred or incoherent speech (making disjointed or incomprehensible statements)
-Gross observable incoordination (stumbling, inability to walk tandem/straight line)
-Emotions out of proportion to circumstances (distraught, crying for no apparent reason)
-Memory deficits (exhibited by the athlete repeatedly asking the same question that has already been answered, or inability to memorize and recall 3 of 3 words or 3 of 3 objects in 5 minutes)
-Any period of loss of consciousness (paralytic coma, unresponsiveness to arousal)
Hopefully he will be fine, but to answer the questions of some people he should be fine. He might have symptoms for up to a month after the incident but then should return to normal. However once you have suffered a Grade 2 or 3 concussion you are more prone to have another if you are hit again, much more prone than somebody who hasn't suffered a concussion, so this could be terrible for his MMA career.
