Which is the most violent sport?

I imagine BASE jumping is close to number one if you count it as a sport and define violence as face-planting the ground at terminal velocity. In terms of death vs participation I should think Formula One is right up there even though fatalities are very rare in current times.
I would have to say that bullriding, wrestling, boxing and also slap battles are some of the most violent sports I have seen.
I have watched slap battles and I often wonder how most of them do not have any kind of damage with the force they get slapped.

There are several sports that could be considered violent, but one that often comes to mind is mixed martial arts (MMA). In MMA, fighters use a combination of striking and grappling techniques to defeat their opponent, often resulting in brutal knockouts or submissions. The physicality and intensity of MMA matches can be quite extreme, leading many to view it as one of the most violent sports.
Some other sports like boxing or rugby also have high levels of physical contact and aggression, making them contenders for the title of most violent sport.

I don’t know how anyone could comfortably do UFC. That takes years off your life, no doubt.

No one said hockey, but yeah I would side with bull riding.
Hockey has it's moments, but at this point it's fairly controlled. Injuries and outliers, of course, but mostly routine stuff.
It is scary watching this video. I don't think I am going to get involved in this type of situation because this is a moment that can get someone killed.
