Media BSD speaks after his defeat - Talks about fighting staph infection a week before the fight

[Hazuki Ryo]

"Unfortunately i couldn't fully express myself tonight. My body didn't hold up after a week of antibiotics fighting a staph infection. I was present but my body absent. I only had one round to give you. Sorry to disappoint you. Thank you Dustin for accepting the fight. It was impossible for me not to take this opportunity"

Staph Luke was special.

Staph Luke was special.

I remember this fight. Both Weidman and Staph Rockhold looked like shit with 1 round gas tank

 

[SamuraiBro]

Knew it. Would explain why he fought at such a crazy pace to finish

Thoughts on this @Poirierfan ?

What was Weidmans excuse?

I hear you, for me that cream they prescribed me for staph was terrible, had to wash and put it on 4x a day… there wasn’t much time to train.

BSD Without that Staph on his Head beats Poirier 9 outta 10

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Meh.

He was doing the tongue out thing, up on the scale, and getting all up in Dustin's face in the face offs.

Diamond gave him hespech post fight, but if he tries the whole, "I was sick, and that's why I lost" excuse, I'm not buying it.

Poirier whooped his ass.

He always fights with a crazy pace to finish. He fights like a young guy with little experience. Which he is. Hopefully he learns from this.

Weidman was past it i suppose. And he did that stupid spinning shit

 

[Hazuki Ryo]

Meh.

Well i get that impression. But have you ever seen a fighter with staph infection a week before the fight have a great performance ?

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

What was Weidmans excuse?

He didn't know he was still his father's boy until after the fight, threw a spinning wheel kick to try to impress him.

I’ve seen his fights, this was the craziest to me. I think he will, he’s young for the division and is super talented.

By that logic, he always has staph

 

[SamuraiBro]

Needs a bath.

 

[Yashabo]

I believe him

No shame in pulling out with staph though, but I understand why one would feel the incentive to still fight because the UFC is what it is - if you go against their wishes you lose all goodwill with them.

I mean he clearly had a gaping apparent staph wound on his forehead in the lead up.

 

[Rorschachxx]

Staph Luke was special.

Man....

People shit on Luke but he won me over for life with that performance.

Don't fight with staph maybe? Lol


They had 5 rds, Imo Dustin would have caught him eventually. The striking discrepancy was too vast. Plus BSD is a little inexperienced and needs to learn how to pace himself. He'll be back though, fun fighter.
