Quick read

Chris Weidman, Dustin Poirier, and Jorge Masvidal discussed the toll of years of fighting during a joint podcast appearance, trading stories about surgeries and metal implants. Weidman explained how a titanium rod inserted after his leg fracture prevents another open break but offers no striking advantage. Poirier revealed he has a rib from another person serving as a nasal septum and said he declined a third nose surgery before his fight with Max Holloway because doctors warned a fourth operation could leave him without a nose due to lost blood supply.
