There’s a chance that shoulder goes again but if he wants to return & is cleared they should give him a fight but not Cruz or AS maybe lower top 10 to see where he’s at

Its wolf tickets, shoulder might be OK to pass medicals, just like last time, he will get a fight only to get paid, injury loses get a pass when it comes to legacy, also he already has a bunch of loses, no undefeated record to care for.
 
Yeah.. but on the other hand...
 
His shoulder is incredibly messed up; as an athlete with some shoulder wear-and-tear issues I’m quite well versed in the various problems and his are about as bad as it gets, ligaments completely torn plus bone and cartilage so demaged that they need cadaver parts to literally change some pieces … you don’t come back from that to fighting professionally, in fact it’s a miracle if he regains just normal mobility and functionality in that arm.
Apparently it was bad before the fight and he completely destroyed it during it … in hindsight it would have been a far wiser decision to pull out and try to fix it, but perhaps he really needed the money.
 
I’m fine with him returning. Just not to the title picture. Not immediately anyways.
