What do the UFC doctors do when somebody is knocked out or choked out?

K Boose asked:


What do the doctors do in UFC and other MMA organizations when somebody is knocked out or choked out? What kind of questions do they ask? How long does it take for someone to wake up? Any information is helpful. Thanks :]

The docters probebly just let the person chill till hes conscious so they know if he needs painkillers or if someone gets knocked out the docters probebly take him in examine him.

It’s not very hard to tell. Some fights are even called before there’s a knockout, which is considered a technical knock out or a referee stoppage.

Basically, any any ref is going to have been around the sport or any combat sport for an extremely long time, but what they check for is unresponsiveness or when you see a person go limp. The signs are very clear and the referees are always on the lookout for them.

After a choke out a person usually comes about very quickly, for a knockout, the time varies, sometimes the fighter is back on his feet protesting the moment a referee makes the call and other times it can take up to minutes. The longer it takes the more grave the situation.

they mostly make sure they are still alive, which of course they will be. They come too on there own, usually in a few seconds, if you are chocked really hard, and long, you might need cpr.
