The UFC’s long-running partnership with the Cleveland Clinic will grow longer.
On Thursday, the UFC announced it will continue its partnership with the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas for at least five more years with a $1 million donation. The UFC began working with the Cleveland Clinic in 2011 and had previously donated $2 million to what is now know as the Professional Athletes Brain Health Study.
When the UFC joined the study in 2011, it was known as Professional Fighters Brain Health Study. Since then the study has expanded its scope, hence the updated name.
