the law doesn’t actually care about consent. The Supreme Court has said that a person cannot consent to assault. While the cases have typically arisen in the context of bar room brawls or hockey violence, other courts have applied the same reasoning to the sexual context. So, if a sexual activity causes bodily harm, a person cannot consent to it.

Stealing this question from the G&M comments section.
If the bolded is indeed true then how does MMA or boxing events get the green light in Canada where the aim is to assault the person into unconsciousness or submission?
MMA, where the aim is to knock out, choke out or tap out.
What exactly are the fighters consenting to when they step into the ring/cage?
