Quick read

Chris Weidman, Dustin Poirier, and Jorge Masvidal discussed the physical toll of their careers in a candid conversation about injuries. Weidman explained that the titanium rod inserted in his leg after his infamous break prevents another open fracture but provides no striking advantage. Poirier revealed he has a rib from another person implanted in his nose after two septum surgeries, and disclosed he skipped a third nasal procedure to fight Max Holloway, fearing a fourth surgery could cut off blood supply and cost him his nose entirely. Masvidal also shared that he had a deviated septum corrected during his career.
