Quick read

Chris Weidman, Dustin Poirier, and Jorge Masvidal discussed the toll of their fighting careers in a candid conversation about injuries and surgeries. Weidman described having a titanium rod inserted in his leg after his notorious fracture and noted he also has metal in his hands, which hurts him when he punches. Poirier revealed he had a pin inserted after breaking his arm — recalling the painful extraction process — and disclosed that a cartilage septum from another person's rib was used in one of his two nasal surgeries, adding that he skipped a necessary third nose operation because doctors warned a subsequent break could cost him blood supply and ultimately his nose.
