A couple months back, the Three Amigos Podcast interviewed UFC light heavyweight fan favorite, "Filthy" Tom Lawlor, where he cited concerns about concussions and head trauma as reasoning for wanting to be out of the fight game in the next 3-4 years. With more attention being paid to the long term effects of "getting hit in the head for a living," it's surprising that more fighters aren't taking this into serious consideration.

Earlier this week, Tom gave us another interview and discussed an alarming symptom he's been experiencing that could possibly be linked to repeated head trauma. Here's what he had to say:

"You know, six months ago, I had a concussion, and I'm not sure how much I ever really recovered from it. Leading up to my fight, during fight week, there were a few instances-and this has been happening on and off for a while, six months or so, over that, for about a year-I'll vomit randomly. I'm not sure if it's due to...I drink a lot of coffee, so it could be that, it could be that it is one of the concussion symptoms, or it could be so damned hot here that I'm just super dehydrated.

There's some stuff that goes on with me that I'm not really sure what the deal is, but it makes me think twice about fighting after having some sort of head trauma. Obviously, I'm a huge pro-wrestling fan, and CTE and those sort of things are very prevalent not only in that industry, but in other professional sports like football. When you suffer a concussion, it's easy to deal with on a daily basis for the most part, but the stuff down the road is what's really worrisome. That's just kinda been in the back of my head, so right now, I'm just not looking to fight in the immediate future."

The Amigos engaged Tom in discussing a variety of other topics that included:

Frustration at being on the wrong side of a bad decision

Thoughts on the 10 point must system

Things he didn't like about his performance against Anderson

If Dana or Lorenzo reached out to him after the fight

Thoughts on the new Reebok colors for UFC 200

UFC 200 Being creatively stifled

Thoughts on Jones' win over OSP and his performance overall

If he feels Jones/Cormier is the idea replacement for McGregor/Diaz

Thoughts on the whole UFC v. McGregor drama

Pro-wrestling discussion

Thoughts on the presidential race and the crazy reason why he's likely voting for Trump
