Jeff Davidson: UFC Medical Director Reveals How to Optimize Your Body Like a UFC Fighter | TUH #013

About this video

Brecka interviews Dr. Jeff Davidson, longtime UFC chairman and medical director and emergency physician involved with the NFL, NHL and air medical services. Davidson recounts joining ringside medicine in the 1990s, argues regulated MMA is safer than its reputation and, he claims, involves less cumulative head injury than boxing, and describes on-site care including suturing, cauliflower ear injuries and fight-ending fractures he has managed. He closes by saying an ultimate human enjoys and feels productive in each day’s work.

Key takeaways

• Davidson states UFC events now include dedicated on-site physicians for tasks such as suturing
• Davidson claims regulated MMA has extensive medical oversight across referees, physicians and weight classes
• Davidson cites comparisons he says favor MMA over boxing on long-term head injury
• Davidson argues physicians should model the health habits they recommend
