Safe MMA has confirmed that all MMA athletes competing on the undercard of Bellator 158 have been medically approved as fit for competition. Bellator’s UK based event takes place at The O2 in London tonight, Saturday 16th July.
Safe MMA is an independent advisory and services provider that offers third party medical clearance for MMA competitors in the UK and Ireland. Under its guidelines, MMA fighters are required to pass standardised annual medical examinations and tests for blood borne viruses (HIV, Hepatitis B and C) in order to participate on affiliated shows. Post-bout medical suspensions are also submitted to Safe MMA, so that they can be observed by other affiliates by consensus, since there is no enforced regulation of the sport in the region.
