Oliveira's neck is braced, and he's on the stretcher. They're taking him out the back way and he's still grabbing at his neck

 

Horrible news... hopefully is not career threatening and Charles can have a speedy recovery.

 

Hope it's not something long term.

 

Someone mentioned in the pbp thread that there were reports on combate that he had some neck problems leading up to the fight.

 

Likely just a sensible precaution. In any case hope for a speedy recovery.

 

Hope dude is okay.. was a strange injury it looked like..

 

Damn. I thought he just dislocated his shoulder. That was so weird.

 

"I pledge allegiance to my Flag..."

too soon?

 

Oh shit. I thought it was his shoulder. Hope its nothing serious.

 

not too soon, just a shitty joke

 

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKK! Really hate it for him, hope it is nothing serious and he gets well soon

 

I guarantee it was not his shoulder or collar bone. He would not have been able to move that arm like he was. Also, his nose started bleeding, and not from strikes. This could be bad, but I hope I'm wrong.

 

Yea.

 

Dont say that man.. I saw the blood too, its sad.

 

Florian tweeted that he thinks he hurt his neck when he went head first into the cage. That delayed reaction was bizarre.

 

It looked really bad to me. His reaction was one of someone who was scared and didn't know what the hell was going on. It freaked me out to be honest and I hope it's not as bad as it looked.

 

Maybe he was faking just to get free health care for something else? "Yeah doc, the neck is feeling better, but since your here, could you take a look at this..."

 

I'm not trying to be disrespectful. I hope that he is ok. I'm worried though. All good vibes his way.
