Knee injuries are no joke.

UFC will jump on this and not allow out of org competing. Can feel that knee torque just from pic.

 

[PicoPulse]

If you had asked me what would happen if Cub Swanson grappled Jake Shields I don't think I'd have guessed a torn ACL but I definitely would have guessed it went poorly for Cub

I hope not he injured himself turning wrong. We need more out of UFC competition they should be allowed to compete in anything.

 

[Roop Holstry]

At his age this could be a career ender. Cub has had some wild fights in the UFC and somehow gets one of his worst injuries grappling gentle Jake Shields.

Hope it’s not a really bad tear

Conor is immune to touch butt injuries

Wishing Cub a speedy recovery.

Absolutely. I had my knee cap popping out years ago and while i didn't have torn ligaments, the knee still doesn't feel as stable as before to this day.

Usually they are on a tight leash, even if grappling comp is low risk to injury. Some holds are cm away from tearing something, harder to control than a choke release. In high school we weren't allowed to play recreation sports outside of school (in season).

cub spoiled quintet!

an ACL tear at 36 after 15 years of MMA is very, very bad. Thats a career but i dont think Cub had much left anyways

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Its to be expected grappling nogi competition these days, everybody and there mama is a leg specialists, even white belts LoL

This should be a normal position grappling daily and you being attacked need to learn to be jelly-like and not go against the leg torques but roll with them.

This is why these grappling tournies won't really take off: popular fighters are not gonna risk getting injured for no money. Imagine if someone did this and got hurt and it resulted in a big UFC fight being off? thats why when Masvidal and Pettis had their grappling exhibiition they agreed no leg attacks ahead of time cause they both had fights booked.

 

[sssleeper]

Fuck! Poor Cub. Wishing him all the best and if it is the end for him in MMA I am glad he went out on a win.

 

[Stuckinpurgatory]

At least it wasn’t in the park.

 

[CieloLuce]

Damn and he just got back on the win column too, fuck...hopefully it recovers properly.

There were no heel hooks in this tournament. This was just Jake trying to sweep from single leg x guard. Cubs had to have been there a 1000 times before; shit just happens sometimes.
