You could always make it more safe, but unfortunately you get to a point to where nobody would want to watch it anymore. I get why people think it’s a brutal sport and have a hard time watching it.

In order to make it safer but keep it the same sport, the best thing you can do is keep weight in check. Make it so that once the fight is signed, you can never be over 10 pounds of the weight limit. So you have to get checked at least weekly to make sure that you are on weight. Cutting weight is just way to detrimental to their health.

Also, we basically never see world class fighters die in the ring. It’s usually the lower class fighters. They could start implementing on non title fights faster stoppages. You know those fights where one fighter is just getting beat up but you can’t stop it because they are still fighting back? The ref could just stop those fights much earlier. I understand that you need to give someone a chance to come back, but when it’s not two high classed fighters, we should think of their health more than their record.
