UFC Injury Tracker 2021 (Updated)
Injuries affect fighters, MMA promotions and their plans in a big way, both before a fight and post-fight. In fact, MMA fighters suffer more injuries than any other combat sport like boxing. Medical suspensions are a common thing in UFC and there is hardly any event that goes by without at least one fighter getting maximum medical suspension due to injury.
