I'm also doing a persuasive speech on MMA. But mine is persuading people that MMA is safer than boxing. Should be a cake walk.

Make sure to include a threat. That will make it more persuasive.

I read somewhere that since 1917 to 2005 there have been over 700 death's in the sport of boxing. I know it sounds like a lot but think how many ppl died back in 15 round days. It said in 2005 that 6 ppl died alone. I don't have source but I'm sure you can find one.

I'll try Ebsco. Not allowed to use wikipedia since its not an "official" source.

Total deaths mean nothing. You need data like hours of fighting per death.
