Quick read
Chris Weidman, Dustin Poirier, and Jorge Masvidal discussed the physical toll of their fighting careers in a candid conversation about surgeries and injuries. Weidman detailed the titanium rod inserted in his leg after his infamous break, noting it offers no striking advantage and that metal in his hands actually hurts him when he punches. Poirier revealed he had a pin inserted after breaking his arm and described the painful extraction process, and also disclosed that a piece of rib cartilage from a donor was used to reconstruct his septum after two nasal surgeries — a third was skipped before his fight with Max Holloway due to the risk of losing blood supply entirely.
