Media Derrick Lewis has fought with a torn ACL, MCL and meniscus in his left leg, for 4 years.

Sorry but

How is this even possible?

Would love to hear comments from people who have had this injury.

I believe it. He's been saying he's injured for years, but they keep giving him lots of money to fight so he does.

I'd fight injured for 500k too

 

[StayCranked]

I miss the days fighters said they lost fair and square and that they would have to go back to the drawing board and think of a new strategy
nowadays its excuses left and right

Tito fought with a cracked skull. Is normal.

You shouldnt even be able to stand if every ligament possible on your knee is torn.
Dude is out there throwing flying spinning kicks?!?!

How does that leg doesnt even fall off?

 

[Threetrees]

Does he has the Scans

 

[FireKidWS]

I’ve never had a torn Acl, but I thought you could barely walk with that injury?

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

Might as well get some lypo while he's at it. All that extra weight can't be good for his knees and back.

Probably minor tears

The severity of the injuries isn't specified, so technically, I'm sure it's possible. These guys fight with numerous injuries that no one ever knows about outside of them and their trainers.

This guy throws flying kicks with a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus?



Maybe his left leg really is injured, but I think they're avoiding specifying the degree of the injuries to try to make it sound severe.

 

[Reign009]

Holy shit, what?

I'm not gonna judge him too harshly. Whether or not he actually has those injuries or the severity of said injuries, it's clear something is wrong and bad enough to require surgery.

Hope he gets his injuries taken care of.

That horrid meme doesn't even begin to do the actual interview justice. That was such an absurd moment. The commentator didn't even know how to react.

"Your back is.. broken? A fracture?"

Tyson: "Spinal."

Average bum who would probably be vomiting after a quarter of a single workout in the life of a pro fighter would undoubtedly have something as lame as this to respond with.

lol yeah you are right. I knew i would at least jar the memory of the very best sherdoggers lol. that shit was truly insane

 

[jakeharris74]

Simple, he surely has the scans over the last years to show. You can't throw shit out there like this without sounding like just another bullshit excuse out there and have nothing to back it up these days. If you aren't prepared to show the proof, then don't waste your time with the excuse because people will logically call BS. And if you don't care if they call bullshit, then why waste your time even saying it?

This is why I call bullshit.

 

[MadHouse]

i believe it but that doesn't change the fact that he's overweight ie relatively out of shape and extremely 1 dimensional

 

[Verace]

Probably minor tears

Would minor tears need surgery though? Doesnt sound minor to me by the way its being reported as well...

Im no specialist on the subject, so i wouldnt know.

Would love to hear from people who have had this injury though
