Combat Sports lawyer Erik Magraken recently posted a screenshot from an unnamed review showing six benchmarks for fighter safety. It read:The six elements that could help protect the health and safety of boxers (combat fighters) are providing the following:medical examinations, including neurological testing;monitoring of training injuries; of medicalassessments risks;health and life insurance;the presence of appropriate medical personnel and equipment; andenforcement of suspensions for injuries.Erik Magraken@erikmagrakenAccording to a US federal review here are things fighters should have for improved safety and well beingAccording to a US federal review here are things fighters should have for improved safety and well being https://t.co/KJmFf1Bew1While the UFC meets most of the criteria, it is missing out in terms of insurance. The promotion doesn't provide a comprehensive health insurance package for its fighters, who are classified as independent contractors. The UFC has come under severe criticism for providing healthcare only when a fighter is injured in a bout or while preparing for a scheduled bout.Magraken also posted screenshots of other parts of the federal review relating to fighter safety. One part detailed the checks a ringside doctor is supposed to perform while checking for neurological damage. Another screenshot details the difference between a cutman and a ringside doctor who checks on a cut.Erik Magraken@erikmagrakenWhat doctors are doing when called in to look for neurological injury1What doctors are doing when called in to look for neurological injury https://t.co/5SsmTvXjO1Erik Magraken@erikmagrakenAnnouncers tell you doctors looking at cuts are concerned about blood in the eye.

I don’t know about healthcare forever. Does anybody have a job where they have healthcare forever when they leave? I mean, that’s pretty f—ng crazy.
