MMA is a grueling and physically demanding sport that puts the human body to the test. Fans often marvel at the seemingly superhuman feats that fighters can perform inside the octagon. However, what they often fail to realize is the toll that the sport takes on a fighter’s body. MMA fighters face a plethora of injuries, from minor bumps and bruises to more severe injuries that can leave them sidelined for months. One fighter who knows this all too well is Jorge Masvidal.

Masvidal is known for his aggressive fighting style and his willingness to engage in slugfests with his opponents. However, he’s not invincible, and he’s had his fair share of injuries throughout his career. Masvidal recalled one such injury in his recent discussion with Joe Rogan.
