Ankle Injury forces Sean “The Destroyer” Loeffler long-awaited Octagon debut to wait even longer
SEAN LOEFFLER: “I WILL BE BACK,
BETTER THAN EVER, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.”
Los Angeles, CA (USA): Last night, Sean “The Destroyer” Loeffler was supposed to make his long-awaited Octagon debut against Buddy Roberts at “UFC on Fuel TV 1.” Unfortunately, Loeffler suffered an ankle injury while warming up and the doctor would not clear him to compete in the fight.
So, what exactly happened? “I was doing ‘tuck jumps’ backstage,” says Loeffler. “My foot got caught in a crack in the warm-up mat, and it rolled over and snapped in half. Trevor Wittman and Urijah Faber were there…the whole locker room heard it pop.
“Fortunately, the ankle’s not broken. It’s a 3rd degree fibula/tibia strain. There’s about a 50/50 chance I’ll have surgery, but we won’t know until after I get an MRI. I don’t know how long I’ll be out, but Joe Silva has told me that I am 100% a UFC fighter, and that I’ll be back with them.”
As was reported by multiple media outlets last night, Loeffler was paid his “show” money by the UFC. “Yes, it’s true,” he says. “I very much appreciate that. I’d like to thank Dana White, Joe Silva, and the rest of the UFC for standing by me through this. They paid me my show money even though I got injured. I appreciate that so much, and I won’t forget it. And to the fans, I will be back, better than ever, as soon as possible. I’m in the UFC to stay, and even though the ankle injury sucked, it shows that everything I do will always be memorable…ha.”
As far as what’s next, no one can know for sure. Will Loeffler fight Buddy Roberts when he gets back? “As far as I know, Buddy is healthy, so I doubt they’re going to make him wait for me. I have no idea who the UFC wants for me next, but regardless, I need to get healthy and then we’ll deal with it. I was ready for Buddy, so if he’s next, I will be ready for him again.”
Former UFC heavyweight champion Tim “Maine-iac” Sylvia has been making waves again and is on a quest to get back in the UFC amongst the ranks of the world’s elite. Sylvia has personally reached out to the MMA community and fans asking for their help to bring him back. Sylvia filmed a personal video and released it to asking lovers and haters alike for their input and support. The initial video has been met with a large response, so Sylvia also made a “Thank You” video for those supporting him.
After being the UFC heavyweight champion, Sylvia was dropped by the organization following his loss to Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. After two disappointing losses to Fedor Emelianeko and Ray Mercer, Sylvia has been on a tear winning 6 of his last 7 bouts – many in signature devastating Sylvia fashion.
