But yea, take the word of a guy who had to ask who hit who, in the middle of one of the fights the last night.

Yeah, I think and injury claim post fight with pinch of salt. Fighter love to overplay injuries postfight, and underplay them pre fight.

"What most people thought"

Vs.

Clinical, scientific diagnosis

Your off your head

A sprain is a tear. This is an indisputable fact. If you fail to grasp that, then take Mellors advice, and ignore it when you are inevitably proven wrong again

Anyone that assume it was a serious injury was pretty foolish imo. As we literally just seen him fight. So on the range of severity of ligament injures, it was clearly to the minor end. Aside from that, assuming that all ligament tears are serious is a bad assumption.

I've no doubt that people did assume that (you did obviously). But an incorrect assumption being common doesn't make it any less incorrect.

I understand that. I'm saying that minor tears are reported in the media using the term sprain. If they are injuries that require surgery they call them tears. I linked a couple of examples of this in a previous post.

And I provided an example that proved that claim wrong. Izzy fought and won with a "tear"., as report in the media. He didn't require surgery. DC's comments also proved that wrong.

The media simply reports on what ever info they are given. Thinking that are making a judgement on the severity is misguided. They they have no clue. Shavkat probably had an MRI, which referred to a tear. It's that simple.

I'm not talking about what medical experts call them, I'm saying what terms the media use.

So DC comes out and says it's torn which suggests to the public that he shouldn't even be able to fight.

I understand public perception and I know what people make of his comment.

This is what I've been saying all along.

Who cares what a random MMA fans perceive anyway. We're talking about what you said, in this thread.
You claimed that all ligament tears are serious That was your perception. Which was wrong.

Just because people are generally misl

And if you go into a doctor he's going to tell you it's a sprain, he'll explain it's a slight tear and what you need to do and everything.

If it's very serious he'll tell you it's a very serious tear and what the prognosis is. He's not going to tell you it's a sprain if you need surgery.

The MRI report won't use vague or everyday language, and they won't switch between terms. If the scan shows its a light sprain, they MRI doctor will report it as a grade 1 tear.

I'm dealing with a tear of my bicep and shoulder. It's going on 6 months and it'll take another six to fully heal. I was told it's a serious enough tear but doesn't need surgery. I wouldn't be able to get into a ring with it because I'd be in agony if I moved it the wrong way.

That's a muscle injury (aka strain). Not ligament. Not really similar to a ligament to be honest. Bastard to heal.

There's no chance Shavkat was fighting with something as serious as what I'm dealing with and it's not even that serious on the scale of injuries.

It's a total different injury. You can't compare them. There's no suggestion that was debilitated to that degree. There have been athlete completely torn their ACLs. Nothing left of the ligament., and continued to play whole seasons.

Ian Garry is a weird dude. He won last night but I just can't stand his interviews.

Great reply to a very strange act by Garry. WTF was he doing.

I reckon he'll win by points, 2 decision merchants tonight.

Hopefully a dominant win and get in line for the title shot

Nice win for Machado Garry, surely a title fight next.

Dagestan. Not only are they boring, they're classless c<nts too.

Yeah that wasn't going to happen. Khamzat sound obliterate him.

Garry is missing something. He’s like a boxer content to win on points. No real sense a urgency or killer instinct with him. Plays it safe!!

He was damn lucky not to be disqualified last night poking the eyes
