What does it take to be a fighter in the UFC? In this episode, Gary is joined by friend and Medical Doctor, Dr. Jeffrey Davidson, Chairman and Chief Medical Director for the UFC. Dr. Davidson might have the coolest jobs as a physician as he is also the Medical Director for multiple other emergency facilities and is an Emergency Consultant for the Las Vegas Raiders of the NFL, and NHL Vegas Golden Knights. They discussed the medical screening process for fighters, how fighters safely cut and rehydrate weight, and the various technologies and modalities used at the UFC Performance Institute to prepare fighters for competition. He also shares the typical injuries seen in the UFC and what they often suture together there on site. Tune in to hear the “small” optimizations like nutrition, cold therapy, breathwork, and staying hydrated, that will help you become the ultimate human.
