What kind of thumb injury keeps Lawler out of a November fight?

[basedgodfedor]

I hurt my thumb years ago playing rugby. I didn't go to the doctor so I don't know what the actual diagnosis would have been. It got better on its own for the most part, but it's still not the same today. The slightest jam or getting it caught on something (like on someone's shirt while grappling) and it hurts like hell for a bit and then aches for the rest of the day.

You probably have a torn ligament like me. Jammed it playing basketball into my friends stomach and gave him a giant welt. Really painful shit. Finally this year at physical therapy for other things I asked the dude to check my thumb and he diagnosed it. If I ever wanna do a contact sport or train I would have to get surgery

For lawler, even this would force a pullout as one little jam and the pain is terrible. Surgery is the only way to fix it
