You can be tough as hell, a doctor still examines you before the fight... And if a "bone was sticking out" they would take x-rays. Before a fight they have to get a full check, headscan etc... All under the commission they are fighting under.
And no offense but not a lot of physical gifts? The only reason the guy is in there is because he is 6'9... If that isn't a physical gift, I don't know what is.
