So.. I saw something in a poll about an injury to Chuck..
NO, n ot the middle finger injury, but a torn ACL? I haven't seen it ANYWHERE else, wtf? Is that true? Did that really happen? I sure hope not!! A finger injury is one thing, but the ACL would keep him out almost a year probably. I want to see Rampage v Chuck II WELL before THAT!!
Anyone??
from the site I saw this on...
| Which story coming out of the major NYE events will have the most long-term impact? | |

Thanks.That at least mentions the knee. I'm surprised that I haven't seen more.. especially here.
Chuck had the torn ligaments during training. He kept quiet about it because he loves to fight. Any other fighter would have postponed the title fight.
It worked out for Chuck. He will be bumbed having to wait for the next fignt.
Damn. I've had 3 knee injuries, the rehab sucks.
If he really did tear his ACL in his knee, he will be out a minimum of 6 months, if not longer. if he just strained it, then he could be back in just a couple months.
ACL surgery is a very long recovery and rehab process.
