Interestingly it might be the smaller, repeated hits that cause the most trouble...

There are likely fewer of these blows in mma training and competition. Probably more in boxing. But football players are literally collecting thousands of these hits a year with no proper recovery. Soccer players too are at dramatically higher risk as well just from heading the ball.
