Interview

Weidman, Poirier, and Masvidal compare career injuries in candid conversation

June 1, 2026

Quick read

Chris Weidman, Dustin Poirier, and Jorge Masvidal exchanged stories about their extensive injury histories, covering leg fractures, titanium rods, bone pins, and multiple nasal surgeries. Weidman explained that the titanium rod in his leg prevents a repeat open fracture but provides no striking advantage, while Poirier described the painful process of having a pin removed from a broken hand after six to eight weeks. Poirier also revealed that a piece of cartilage from another person's rib now forms part of his nasal septum, and that he skipped a third nasal surgery so he could fight Max Holloway, fearing a fourth procedure could cut off blood supply entirely and cost him his nose.
