Quick read
Chris Weidman, Dustin Poirier, and Jorge Masvidal exchanged stories about the physical toll of their fighting careers. Weidman described having a titanium rod inserted in his leg after his leg break, noting the metal provides no striking advantage and actually causes pain to the fighter throwing the kick. Poirier revealed he has a rib cartilage septum from a donor in his nose after two nasal surgeries, and chose to skip a third procedure before his fight with Max Holloway to avoid risking permanent loss of the nose. Masvidal added that he also suffered a badly deviated septum during his career.
