Den brasilianska MMA-fightern John Lineker fick se sin fina vinstsvit på 6 raka matcher brytas under lördagens förlustmatch mot TJ Dillashaw. Efter matchen har det kommit fram att Lineker bröt sitt käke under matchen. I en intervju med MMAFighting.com berättar brassen att han kände hur käken ”poppade” i första ronden.
I felt a pop right away,” said Lineker. I wasn’t dizzy or anything like that, but I felt a pop. I thought ‘it was just the kick, no problem,’ but it start to hurt a lot in the second round. I truly felt it in the third, when I took all of his punches. I left the Octagon and talked to the doctors, everything was normal. I could move my jaw, all normal, so they cleared me and said to let them know if I felt anything. When I went to another room to eat something and watch the fights, I felt the pain and it didn’t stop.
t was time to go back to the hotel, and I couldn’t handle the pain anymore. I told my wife to call my manager, and I couldn’t wait until the next morning. We called the UFC doctor, and they sent me back to the hotel to do some exams, and a MRI showed two fractures.
Lineker kommer att vara borta i minst 6 månader på grund av skadan
