Injuries incurred, both during training and in a bout itself, can prove devastating to the career of a combat sports athlete. Depending on the severity of the injury, it may force a fighter out of competition for extended periods of time or in the worst case scenario, end their career altogether.
In this episode, we take a look at three MMA fighters whose injuries had a major impact on their trajectory and how they dealt with them to move forward and thrive or to begin a new chapter in their lives.
We break down clips from former UFC Bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz, current UFC Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman and former ONE Championship and Bellator champion Ben Askren to find out what it takes to overcome debilitating injuries and perform at the highest level in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts.
