Welcome to episode 1 of the MMAInjury podcast!
This first episode is raw, unedited, and brief- just me talking about injuries. I expect that the quality will improve with practice and work.
This post and first podcast is public, so feel free to share it!
UFC 308 is history, and in this episode I look at the following fighters who were injured.
Robert Whittaker’s teeth.
Aleksandar Rakic- no injury, but 0-2 since returning from ACL reconstruction.
Rafael dos Anjos’ left knee.
Chris Barnett’s leg injury. And that stupid pre-fight hype jump-stomp.
Myktybek Orolbai’s eye.
Here are a couple of links to interviews that Chris Barnett gave, addressing his leg injuries.
Interview with Home of Fight here.
Interview with The AllStar and Korean John here.
EDIT: I goofed and referred to Barnett as Chris Curtis. First pod jitters. My apologies to both Barnett and Curtis!
