Excerpt from a February 26, 2024 YouTube interview in which Dr. Jeff Davidson (UFC medical doctor) describes his nightly routine reviewing submitted athlete medical data: imaging (MRI, MRA/PRK panels mentioned), ECGs, chest X-rays, and other tests. He explains that the UFC medical team compiles these into each athlete's medical record, that he looks for anomalies (especially cardiac findings that don't fit a "sports heart") and refers such cases to consultants to obtain clearance, and that athletes undergo comprehensive screening (physical exam, eye exam, blood tests, brain imaging, heart tests) before being cleared for fights.
