John Lineker pulls out of UFC219 because of tooth infection.

[GearSolidMetal]

Well, this is a first.



He is aware that during the fight, he's going to be wearing a mouth guard, right?

Tooth infections can really suck actually. Depending on how bad it is, could easily be a legitimate reason for pulling out.

As far as I know, a tooth infection can swell up half of your face and make it very sensitive to touch. Seems like a fair pull out to me

how about you get a wisdom tooth infection and then I punch you in the face and see how you feel about this .

The tiramisu must have been too sweet. He would've missed weight anyways.

Great "1st" post....

I know someone who died from a untreated Tooth infection apparently when left untreated can effect nerves @ brain becauss of proximity

Linekar is a warrior but apparently they are making him have emegency surgery

if there was a way around it he would be in the in the cage on sat

In short — OP is a idiot

your whole jaw can be super sensitive , it basically hurts to chew food

I imagine even exercising would be painful

Infected wisdom teeth can be life threatening and often require a shitload of antibiotics.

Completely reasonable grounds to pull out.

You've never had a tooth infection before, have you?

Legit reason bro, any infection near the brain has to be treated very seriously, can be fatal

Shame, would've been a good scrap. Hope he heals up soon and someone steps up to fill in.

Someones never had a cavity. Wait till you do. Ungodly pain

You ever had a bad tooth infection? I had an abcessed molar and it was the worst pain I experienced in my life. I was out of my town too, it was a weekend and I couldn't get to a doctor. By the time I got in to see a dentist I couldn't open my jaw and it felt like my throat was closing. They pulled it out immediately, my whole jaw swelled up after like I got kicked in the face, I also couldn't open my jaw for a week. I only got by that weekend because luckily enough the lady I was seeing had a full bottle of oxycodone. I wouldve blown my brains out otherwise. All started from a broken tooth that was fine and caused no pain until it wasn't fine anymore.

I'd assume Lineker is somewhere along these lines, if not worse. Being a fighter and as tough as he is getting his face bashed in for a living. I feel his pain, it was one of the worst experiences of my life.

 

[Agent Mulder's Hair]

That's a good reason to pull out.

I had a tooth infection once and you never want to experience that kind of pain. I can't even imagine being punched in the mouth with a tooth infection.

Nah, I just like to feed the trolls in the heavies sometimes and see who agrees.

Good to see knowledgeable members posting on the 1st page. Sometimes it takes a few pages.
