Diana Belbita and Tony Ferguson are now recovering from their respective injuries. Diana Belbita had her comeback fight in UFC Fight Night 235 against Molly McCann. The bout ended in the second round after Belbita tapped to an arm bar submission. Meanwhile, Ferguson lost to Paddy Pimblett via a unanimous decision victory at UFC 296 and later went under the knife.

Following their respective defeats, they are now on their journey to get back to fighting condition and recovery. So without further ado, let’s take a closer look at both of their recovery updates.

Does Diana Belbita have a broken arm?

Armbar submissions can deteriorate and even break one’s arm. Subsequently, it becomes necessary to go under the knife if the arm is broken. Moreover, in the case of Belbita, she need not go for surgery as it is reported her arm is not broken. However, according to her, she needs to get an MRI checked on the arm as at the very least there appears to be a ligament tear.

UFC journalist, @aaronbronsteter took to Twitter to report her CT scan being negative, however, the fighter replied, “No broken bone. I have to do an MRI as soon as I get back into Canada. It feels like a torn ligament”

It appears that she might be out of the sport for quite some time. However, injuries are the name of the game and it would be interesting to see how she turns things around for the better. Meanwhile, Belbita is not the only one nursing an injury.

Former interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson also shared an injury update over social media, after revealing recently that he went into his UFC 296 bout less than 100%.

Tony Ferguson is in great spirits amidst recovery

Ferguson sustained an MCL tear a month before his last fight. Although he did not go under the knife then, he did so anyway after his bout against Paddy Pimblett. The surgery took place a little more than a week ago and he is yet to get back in a condition to train. However, that does not mean that one should expect him to be lying around.

Instead, on his Instagram account, he shares a video of himself in which he is evidently at a hospital and is engaging in recovery exercise. While posting the video, he captions it, “Unlocked” Building.
