News Cody blames vertigo for UFC 300 loss

[pātrēärkē]

Oh, another fighter from 300 that has a theory on why they lost...

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

I don't think very many here know what vertigo is. For starters, it's not a permanent thing. Second, it's not something that has a definitive test. You tell the Dr things are spinning, and he diagnoses you with vertigo. That's it. "Go home and rest, it will pass" is the direction from the Dr. I've had vertigo a couple times, it sucks but it's temporary but also isn't something that can be proven, or disproven.

I got it from a dodgy weight loss supplement 10+ years ago. Big order of Raising Cane's made it go away

It has happened to me before in the gym. usually when I got taken down. It isnt fun. a loss is a loss but it would be tough to fight with vertigo.

Van damme ruined this man poor life

I took a cousin of mine to travel Southeast Asia a few years back and he randomly had vertigo in our hotel room. Next thing you know he was laying on the ground in the bathroom with the lights off and shit his pants. One of his ears stopped working normally around that time and hasn't worked right ever since

Why is that so hard?

It's difficult to say when you have Vertigo.

 

[DrRodentia]

I've had bouts of vertigo. Only while laying down, interestingly. It's pretty frightening to suddenly feel like your world is rolling out of control, and there's no way out of that feeling until it just passes. Like the spins, but sober. Happened a few times while I was laying underneath trucks/tractors, servicing them, but mostly in bed.

 

[clutchCAT420]

The ufc doctor should have stopped the fight. Why wasnt the commission notified? Cody should have it overturned.

Nice dumb, derail.

Cody Garbrandt says bout of vertigo affected him in loss to Deiveson Figueireo at UFC 300

Apparently it hit as soon as the fight went to the ground and lasted the rest of the night. Thoughts?

As well as becoming truly established as a gate keeper, this is not good at all health wise, and potentially a sign of danger if he keeps getting hit in the head sparring or fighting.

Way past the point of him being forcibly retired, can get work being a tattoo model for sure so hope is not lost and I mean that seriously.

I understand this reference!!

I understand this reference!!

Finally!

 

[Vil7]

a bad mma fighter happens to also have vertigo, contributing to his overall badness. I'm going to start using this excuse at work

You should file for disability & then post on sherdog more.

Why do any interviews if you aren't allowed to say what you want and you have to give stock answers to please people.

 

[HHJ]

I had it once for a few months and it never came back thank god

word. Fucked if you do, fucked if you don't.

Recently I heard Gaethje say he did 80 interviews during fight week, like, holy fuck.

Me too, super scary shit. Mine was only weeks.

The thing is he might have actually had vertigo. Is he not allowed to tell the truth? Do fans have to be that sensitive?

Now if you think the notorious Figgy smalls is better than him and would beat him wether he had vertigo or not is up to any individual and they should just go about their day.

But I really hate this viewpoint that people aren't allowed to tell the truth or what they believe to be the truth, within reason. Obviously jamahal hill was knocked out and Anthony Smith's viewpoints are in bizzaro world...

But I take Cody's word for it even if I do think Figgy is the better fighter. It was a good fight.

I missed it (the fight )

Totally agree tho, except when I dislike the fighter We can't ask to know all about them, then be mad at their honest answers.

I have even come around to liking Jamahal's approach - just lie your fucking ass off lol
