June 1, 2026

Quick read

Chris Weidman, Dustin Poirier, and Jorge Masvidal discussed the extensive injuries they have sustained over their fighting careers. Weidman explained that the titanium rod inserted in his leg after his leg break will prevent another clean fracture, while also noting he has metal in his hands that causes pain when he punches. Poirier revealed he had a pin inserted in his broken hand that was forcibly removed after six to eight weeks, and that he has a piece of rib cartilage from another person serving as a nasal septum after two nose surgeries. Poirier also disclosed he skipped a third nose surgery before fighting Max Holloway because doctors warned that a fourth operation could cut off blood supply entirely and cost him his nose.
