There have been studies showing that NFL players actually suffer more head trauma due to wearing helmets. In the same way, padded gloves in boxing allow more contact to the head than UFC does (it takes more punches to hurt someone, therefore more rounds, more hits to the head, etc).
So while it looks more violent in terms of impact, UFC is probably the safer sport.
