“The Oura Ring is a fantastic device that we’re excited about because it provides valuable insights into key biometrics that athletes can use to make adjustments to their training and overall competition preparedness.”
This proves crucial as fighters could alter their training or sparring for a day and focus on recovery. This will ensure that they do not strain themselves and assume that the body ache or lethargy is a natural training side effect.
Former UFC champion Daniel Cormier credited the ring for helping him compete at UFC 252. The fighter said that the ring showed him he was not at his peak and his mercury levels had risen.
As a result, he approached a doctor immediately and learned that he had the coronavirus. The timely diagnosis and recovery helped him structure his camp well and make it to the UFC Apex at a hundred percent.
