How did he get injured?

 

[TerraRayzing]

Classy dude. Speedy recovery to him.

 

[ChimRichalds]

Can't give us some deets on the injury?

 

[ryun253]

Spoken like a true champion, hope for a speedy recovery.

 

[Yep]

6 months for the worst shoulder damage ever seen? Well alrighty then.

 

[KazDibiase]

Hard choice but it better for the division. Respect and wish him a speedy recovery.

 

[Pizza Werewolf]

Was this a drug testing related injury?

Khabib would be like, I hold belt. You make interim.

 

[ChimRichalds]

If it's only 6 months there's no reason to not just let them do an interim. 6 months is missing 1 fight. Jiri is one of my favorites, but I'm getting the vibe that theres some fuckery afoot.

Rent free is the way to be ?

He's been hopeful about the 6 months timeframe. The dude obviously knows he's in for a long healing process. He also hasn't fought in since June of this year so makes sense why he vacates.

Fuck what is up with injuries this year!
What a legend though, doesn't want to hold up the division so vacates.

That's what he would do tho. Don't act like he wouldn't, If I want to be fair. Conor would do the same thing. Say make an interim. I'm da champ
