If a guy gets hurt in a UFC fight to the point where he needs surgery, does the UFC pick up the tab?
I'm pretty sure the UFC covers the fighters medical expenses.
I think any fighter who gets hurt during a sanctioned event is covered by insurance. I think that is a law. EVen the IFBB has that. The competitor is covered even during travel to the event. The NPC has it also. The UFC and others are covered under the Nevada State Athletic Commission and I would think an insurance policy would have to be in place.
