Dana White says a proper MMA regulation will prevent deaths
Posted By Anton_Gurevich UFC News

“This is the safest sport in the world when done properly. As we go out there and get this thing sanctioned in all these different states, here’s the problem,” White began to explain. “That fight lasted 22 seconds. It’s not like this was some three-round war where this kid took a lot of head damage,” commented White. "I’m no doctor, but I believe there was a pre-existing injury that they didn’t find in pre-fight medicals. The bottom line is I don’t care what state it is, what commission, if that company doesn’t have enough money to do the proper medical tests on the fighters before and after the fight, go open a (expletive) doughnut shop,” added the UFC president. “Go do something else. Open a laundry mat. This isn’t the business you should be in.” - MMAWeekly.com

UFC President Dana White related to the tragic death of Michael Kirkham, declaring that the regulation of Mixed Martial Arts is the key for preventing another death in the sport. White has a very good point there. Not everyone has the abilities and physical attributes to compete in MMA. A proper regulation of the sport, with unified medical standards will save a lot of lives. Promoters should meet a certain criteria before their allowed to organize an event.
