According to a 2008 study reported by the British Journal of Sports
Medicine, MMA fighters aren't at risk for critical sports injuriesbut
minor injury risks still exist. The study, which collected injury data
from sanctioned MMA events for five years, determined the most common
injuries were lacerations and upper extremity injuries. The most serious
injury reported was concussion.
Here's why these injuries occurand how to treat them.

Abstract
.
Background: Professional mixed martial arts (MMA) competition has
emerged as a full contact sport that has risen rapidly in popularity.
However, there is limited information regarding the incidence of
competition injuries following sanctioning by an athletic commission.
.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study to examine MMA injury
patterns during a five year period following sanctioning in the state of
Nevada. Data from all regulated MMA competitions during the study period
from March 2002 to September 2007 (n=1,270 fight exposures) was obtained.
Injury odds ratios were calculated by conditional logistic regression on
match outcome, age, weight and fight experience using a pair-matched
case-control design (n=464) and by multiple logistic regression on match
outcome, age, fight experience, weight, combat minutes, and scheduled
rounds.
.
Results: During the 635 professional MMA matches, 300 of the 1,270
athletes sustained documented injuries with an injury rate of 23.6 per 100
fight participations. Most common reported injuries were lacerations and
upper extremity injuries. Severe concussion rate was 16.5 per 1,000
athlete exposures, or 3.3% of all matches. No deaths or critical
sports-related injuries resulted from any of the regulated matches during
the study period. Age, weight, and fight experience did not statistically
increase the likelihood of injuries after controlling for other
covariates.
.
Conclusions: Injury rates in regulated professional MMA competition are
similar to other combat sports; the overall risk of critical
sports-related injury appears low. Additional study is warranted to
achieve a better understanding of injury trends and ways to further lower
injury risk in MMA.
