Ex-UFC Champ Frank Mir Undergoes Emergency Spinal Surgery

[cmw43]

This fight should not take place...

After Frank's last fight, years ago, he should not be sanctioned anymore

Look at his fuckin head now. No one should be hitting a head that looks like that. He's gonna fuckin die.

He was on the Rampage podcast recently saying that boxing KO against Pulev damaged his neck as well.

He needs to stay retired.

you have 24 vertebrae, your thoracic spine contains 12 of them. This m'fucker had to have half of his spine fused

Sounds all too familiar.

Pf, all of us that have had spinal or cervical fusions done understand the risk of becoming paralyzed from further injuries is reality.

For those who may be curious, you have 24 vertebrae, your thoracic spine contains 12 of them. This m'fucker had to have half of his spine fused.......pretty serious shit. I hope he recovers well but never, ever gets the compulsion to fight again. Just enjoy your retirement, Frank.

I know a young girl who had severe scoliosis, they fused her from the top of her thoracic region to the bottom of her Lumar region, essentially her entire back. She was only 16 years old at the time. You can't even tell she was ever operated on.

I’m glad the fighters are compensated so well to account for the abuse they out themselves through
