It's a pretty rare day in MMA when a hyped rising prospect retires from the sport before ever making a real run for the top, but that's the position Veronica Rothenhausler has found herself in after suffering multiple concussions.
One of the recent topics to make its way into the MMA public eye are concussions, or rather, post concussion syndrome.

Both TJ Grant and Chris Holdsworth have spent more than a year on the sidelines battling the symptoms.
