That's not a bad question. I'm not at all an expert in criminal law, but I would say that most MMA fights don't end in what the law would necessarily call "bodily harm"--those that do might not get reported or investigated.
If an MMA fighter were killed in the ring in Canada, there might be a risk of a manslaughter charge in my view, and if that happened we would likely find that consent was no defence.
EDIT: I stand corrected--see below.
