Media It looks like Mokaev somehow avoided major injury

He also said he wouldn't get surgery and would keep fighting even if he did have an injury no?

He said surgery would push back his hopes to become the youngest UFC champion so he would hold off until he had the belt.

Hopefully he isn't too badly hurt though. That kneebar was nasty as shit.
 
Hopefully this is legitimately on the advice of his doctors and not youthful bravado on his part. If his knee as well as the preexisting shoulder injury are both legitimately good to go? More power to him. But if either of those get compromised seriously at his age for a fighter with a style like his? Yikes...

Here's hoping everything checked out okay, though.
 
I guess it's possible that no ligament got actually torn, but damn....


Hopefully he knows what he's doing.
 
might have just been a bad ligament sprain or partial tear. those can heal up on their own.

my guess he still needs to take several weeks off to let it heal completely.
 
Hopefully he's really healing and not rushing back in.
 
He should take this time to get that needed shoulder surgery.
