All Things UFC & MMA

@SRH Hope things work out for Austin. Is it a possible career ending injury or will it just take a while for him to fully recover? I sure hope the UFC steps in to cover his medical bills.

 

Thank you!! Very much appreciated!

 

UFC does cover all medical. I’m not sure how familiar you are with Compartmental Syndrome. It’s where a trauma, in his case a kick, causes the muscle to swell. The facia that covers the muscle needs to be cut open to relieve the pressure from all of the swelling. If it’s not done within a certain timeframe the swelling cuts off blood supply and oxygen to the muscle and the muscle will die. This could potentially be career ending but just depends if the surrounding muscles could cover for it. However, it would be somewhat of a hinderance. (If I understood everything correctly) Then the cut is left open to relieve the pressure. Austin was beyond that time frame. One of the muscles was showing signs that it was in trouble. He had a second surgery last night and the muscle showed improvement so we have every reason to believe the muscle is still alive. He will have a 3rd surgery towards the end of the week. If they can get his leg closed up great. If not, there will be a 4th surgery for a skin graph. He is doing great after the second surgery and in great spirits. It was a relief to know that muscle made improvement from the first surgery Thanks

 

Here's to hoping that everything will be OK, and he can get out there and kick some ass again.

 

So good to hear that they are taking care of him and I hope that the surgeries go well and that he has a speedy recovery. I am so sorry this happened and hope Austin gets better soon!

 

Thank you!

 

Thank you!!

 

Glad to hear Austin is doing better and that the UFC is covering his medical bills.

 

Here’s to a speedy recovery

 

Tks

 

He’s ready to leave, never mind the filleted leg, and thinks he can try to walk!! Love his positivity and drive but Stresses a Moma out!!

 

I just watched an interview with Curtis blades talking about him and what happened after the fight. Crazy stuff.

 

Ya it is.... I was not prepared for what I saw when he got out of surgery!!! Had no idea that’s what his leg was going to look like.

 

That’s crazy, I just saw the story. Hope he had a smooth recovery and can get back to normal soon.

 

Tks! One more surgery for sure possibly 2.

 

Scary, but glad he's on the mend. WOW

 

Tks! Dr. decided he’s ready for surgery #3 tomorrow! We will find out then if he’s done or if there will be a 4th.

 

Thoughts and prayers still heading your way. He’s a tough young man so he’ll be just fine! Thanks for keeping us posted!

Peace,

Moon

 

Tks, buddy. Hope things are goin a little better for you too!

 

Here’s to hoping #3 does the trick! If I can say so, thanks for setting a great example for martial arts parents. My boys are young ,but they love training and the sport just like their dad. I’m trying to steer them away from striking arts but failing miserably. I fear I have a long road ahead, one you probably know WAY too well lol.
