Media Shavkat Reportedly Had Torn MCL Going Into UFC 310 According To DC

[rjmbrd]

Predicted the excuses would come the moment he looked average. He made excuses when he looked like shit against Wonderboy too, and Wonderboy was injured worse than he was in that fight.

People will lap it up because Shavkat is loved around here and Garry is hated.

If Garry came out with a statement that he was injured for this fight he'd get clowned.

He said it literally in his post fight speech via translator, in the cage.

 

[MarioLemieux]

Nah... I always thought Shavkat was overrated despite his record. He just seemed to pull off finishes without really dominating fights beforehand. Well rounded and big but not exceptional in any area. I would be surprised if he gets by belal tbh

Mike Tyson broke his back.. Tzpinal

Tito had a cracked Skull

Conor foot was a balloon


fighters fight through injuries.

Jones' toe was hanging by a fucken thread!

Someone at a lighter weight years ago had a broken hand but still kept throwing... Uriah Faber maybe? Not sure if that's right

Faber broke both hands the 2nd time he fought Mike Brown, you are correct.

Does this mean... I'm not a casual?!?

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Kurt Angle won an Olympic gold medal with a broken freaking neck, we don't wanna hear this BS

Tito had a cracked skull. Levels.

Plenty of those around here, I think you're a hardcore fan

 

[SamuraiBro]

I can believe it, but also has Garry has a very good defensive style which makes it hard to get offence on him.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Seems like every fighter that wins but doesn’t look super dominate, says they were injured after

I think Belal will surprise a lot of people and dominate The Shavy
It’s going to be takedown city

 

[Cooliox]

damage control by a proven UFC shill

otherwise show the MRI

 

[BangBang]

You gotta remember these fighters, I mean contractors need to eat. They ain't making peanuts sitting out on the sidelines. Only way to get them peanuts is to get in the cage.

Yeah, I get it. Risk:Reward though. Shavkat doesn't need to take such risks (relatively speaking).

Via Cormier talking to him prior to fight

Does that change your opinion of his performance?

Everytime the killer who holds people up against the fence loses its due to an injury lol

 

[AmonTobin]

Huge if true. I’ll say this. If fighters are willing to divulge their specific injuries I think it would be a good common practice to post the accompanying photo confirmation or some other corroboration. Otherwise I think it’s fair for people to have their doubts. (Did Jon Jones’ ever post a pic of his pec tear?)

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

I’m not so convinced but I could be wrong - I think it would have been a similar outcome because of the way Garry fights . We view Shavkat to be some invincible killer ala Khabib but he’s not. He has weak wrestling and defense , getting hit too much for consistent champion status.

He is deserving of the title shot and is a great fighter though.

Shavkat is usually very active with knees in the clinch. I don't remember him throwing 1 against Ian

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

If he did fight with a torn MCL then he and his team are more stupid then we could ever have imagined.

Basically, I call bullshit.

He's 32. Time is ticking for a title shot.

 

[RichardHarrow]

it’s hard to look good against Ian.

Anything we have is speculation. Knees are imperative of course. Have we ever witnessed Nomad to disarm an opponent and mechanically break him down with knees , or is it just the odd pot shot ?

He should have pulled out. It's dumb when guys fight through injuries.

 

[AdamWarlock]

you can fight with torn mcl
it def hinder your performance but with mma there's more leeway for you to go into a fight with injuries compared to other sports

 

[JPOMMA]

Everyone is injured all the time. Does it have to do with training camps? I don’t recall it being so often mentioned 5-10 years ago. Or is it just excuses?

Around the time that Cain was champion, it would happen regularly and derail cards. Dana used to complain about it a lot. He especially b*tched about AKA and a couple of other big gyms.

 

[bongwater]

Ian Garry has a torn asshole and you don't see him complaining!
