Discussion on Fighter Injuries and Comebacks
It's, yeah. But in this one, in this one, he was, to me, as soon as he tore it,
he dropped down, gets up, stumbles around, then he starts looking at the ref like,
I can't do this no more.
But think of like all the other greats.
It lets him know it's not the spirit that he had in the past.
That's what I'm saying. The spirit in the past, he fought through it.
The spirit in the past, he fought through it.
And this isn't me saying, making this up.
This is him, this is what he told us.
He told us he was going to have the greatest comeback.
He told us he didn't go into work.
He said these things, but when it got tough, he tore his leg,
he wanted out. He wanted out. I mean, what are you going to
do? What are you going to do? What are you going to do? What are you going to do?
You literally fought against the same guy for that the first time,
so Dean does have a good point.
What did Carlos Santos do? What did Carlos Santos do? What did Carlos Santos do?
What did Carlos Santos do?
He tore both of his knees against Jon Jones. He fought through it.
He didn't look for a way out. He fought through it. Official tears. Official tears.
But this is a little bit different,
only because it happened on the first move of the fight.
The adrenaline isn't going as much,
like the fight isn't taking place.
Like the first time with Max Holloway,
he was trying to pass guard in like the second round and then the knee popped.
The juices are still flowing. You're in the fight.
He's winning the fight at that point, so he pushes through.
Carlos Olberg, that's a very close parallel.
Won the light heavyweight world championship with the torn ACL, you know?
He found the shot. It's no joke. Jerry's a fucking problem. Yeah, does...
Is Conor not pushing forward and just trying to stay in the fight? That's my point.
That's where his mindset was.
