Pretty interesting stuff, IMO.

Plus fun.

Vid is like 20 seconds

Hopefully this stuff (in addition to surgery a few months ago, in that area) was not disclosed to BORZ to target in bout.

Posted for those with a high interest in the nuances of the subtle but significant details of MMA war and their intricacies, or for those who simply would find it fun to see Robert beardless. What a fuckin warrior.

(Interested in @Darragh 's thoughts, and want to make sure @Poirierfan and @StonedLemur see's this too).

If this was known it sucks, but also it's not like fighters aren't privy to other fighters prior injuries all the time.
 
Damn.

I bet he is kicking himself now for not getting it fixed before hand, even if he does I wonder how vulnerable it is as surely people will target him there now.

<6>

If he does it properly he will have a much stronger chin. That was the first thing i said when i saw him tap, " I bet you he has gum disease".

I think he looked weird without the facial hair.

This does explain it. Wow. And it happened with DDP and he just fought through it.

It would be so fucking Machiavellan if Khamzat intentionally targetted him here after seeing this video (ie. he chose the face crank over the choke intentionally and focused on Rob's lower face with his elbows).

It also explains why Rob knew so quickly something was wrong even with a mouth guard on because he had it happen multiple times before. Usually people think they have something in their mouth and try and spit it out.

I can't believe these guys don't get long term health insurance. Criminal.
