Why doesn't the UFC make Fighters Wear a Mask?

[Frank McEdgar]

During their fights.

Are they worried the fighters won't be able to breathe properly? Or is there some other reason?

This will be interesting.

No masks because D level athletes with D level cardio

 

[BluntForceTrama]

Blame Trumps anti testing agenda

 

[HaulParris]

I’m guessing it’s hard to breathe and masks would get messed up while punched/kicked/choked, etc.

 

[Possum]

They should wear them. They are risking so many lives, its unreal. The UFC should be sued and shutdown for all the deaths they contributed to. Ridiculous really.

This has to be a response to the boneheaded poster who said “you don’t see the nba or nfl making their players wear masks.”

 

[Twixt]

Great idea

No. I don't really go on any of the other sub forums here, just MMA talk

Both guys are supposed to be COVID-free before they fight so theoretically there won't be any risk. Or at least that's what Dana says.

Fighters should also have a plexiglass barrier between them.

What type of mask could withstand blows to the face, think a little harder TS

It was in the “Bryce Mitchell whining about wearing a mask” thread.

Don’t forget the face shields too!
Gives a whole new meaning to the term “fog of war”.

Someone might pad their mask to protect their chin.
