So was there an official word on what happened with Pettis ribs?

[Mr WorldWide]

Any updates on what the injury was?

haven't heard anything more than that, but at least it's a real sports site, not BE or MMAMania.

Yes, there is on official word, and one word only. Not a statement, just a word.

And that word is: Poop.

It happens. Give him time. He'll recover. He was on the Wheaties box and so he just needs a rebound. Still GOAT level and primed for a 2 weight belt reign. Still young and whatnot.

Rib injury? I thought it was widely assumed he faked a rib injury because he was about to get mounted and have his pretty face beat to a pulp

 

[MMAGENIUS_1]

They're hurt.

Right. He's obviously not someone who can take any facial damage.

I dunno, the fight with RDA showed what happens when Pettis gets hit in the face.

That fight was over after the first big punch

[ostlerrage]

He ate the ribs then went home.

He's fine. He simply couldn't take any more of Poirer's beating. Pettis looked like a pussy out there, tbh.

Yeah and for weeks after wondered why he bothered when the fight was lost anyways.. he obviously learned from his mistakes.

You know that big punch broke his orbital bone?

And he still proceeded to go 5 rounds.
