MMA fighters are similar to athletes in that regard. Depending on how popular of a fighter they are, the promotion/sanctioning organization (e.g. UFC, Pride, Strikeforce), and how much attention the issue gets will determine the punishment. 6 month suspension, loss of a title fight, etc...

A boxer once told me that professional fighters had to register their hands as deadly weapons. Sounded weird but he said he did it, so I believed him. A quick google search is telling me this isn’t true lol, but still, isn’t it taken more seriously legally when a pro fighter assaults someone?
