blood work question

You should be able to go to any doctors office and pay out of pocket cash for a physical with a full blood panel. If you have insurance even better. Im sure the mma guys here will let you know what has to be in the blood work, but I assume a basic CBC and Chem Panel
When I had my bloodwork done for a fight in Colorado they needed an HIV test and hep A,B, an C. Showdown is right, you can usually go to any doctors office and get it done. I am in the military so I went into the clinic and told them I needed it done and the doc happened to be an MMA fan so he set me up so that was cool. If you are unsure on what all they need you should be able to contact the commission in your state and find out pretty easily. Good luck

Yea, I would talk to the athletic commission or the promotor first and find out what tests they need on file.
I can almost guarantee that if you go into a general doctors office and say you need blood work for a fight, they aren't going to have any clue as to what tests you need and will probably test you for a bunch of crap that is unnecessary and you'll end up paying more. Or worse, they'll do the tests, you'll hand in the results and then the commission will say they need more info and you'll get double billed for everything because you'll have to go back.
It depends on if the clinic/hospital you go to sends out there blood samples to an outside testing place or if they test them in there own opffice, if they test them in office then you should be able to get it in a few days. If they send it outside to another place it could take a week. You can ask the doctors how long it will take when you go in they should be able to tell you.
Is this a pro fight? if so you better be getting paid for the fight but this is how you get your blood work done
go to your local health office and say you want to be screened for hiv hep and so on... its free aslong as you say you have had sex with a few people the last few weeks then they will ask you a few things the test takes 2 weeks to get the results BUT DO NOT TELL THEM YOU NEED IT FOR A FIGHT THEY WILL NOT DO IT i have done this for all my pro fights its works
