Honestly, one of the reasons we tested this was to really understand firsthand in person the health and safety aspect of the sport. We have a high level of comfort following that, working extensively with the commission, to make sure that we believe that safely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"QswD0n\">Cloobeck continued: \u201cYou will make sure that no one has severe brain injuries going forward?\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Dana White guarantees sport will be safer<\/h3>\n<p id=\"seiYGE\">\u201cThat\u2019s correct,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cThat\u2019s the other reason working with you and executive director [Jeff] Mullen, chairman.

However, he has promised to make the sport safer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really into this. I like it. The other thing is, this stuff is going on,&#8221; White said at the press conference (via <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.usatoday.com\/2022\/11\/ufc-news-dana-white-power-slap-fighting-rules\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAJunkie<\/a>). &#8220;I know when we announced this, there were a lot of concerns about health and safety with some guys. Us getting involved guarantees that it\u2019s going to be much safer&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of these questions that you guys have, the media, fans, potential fans have, will be answered in this eight-part series that we\u2019re doing,&#8221; White added. &#8220;These guys who have been doing it for a long time, there actually is technique to it. You can actually roll with the slap. They know how to actually defend, brace, whatever you want to call it.
