UFC 168 update: Anderson’s blessure

Zuffa, moederbedrijf van de UFC, heeft de volgende statement gedaan over Anderson Silva zijn beenblessure, opgelopen tijdens UFC 168 gisteren:

“Following Saturday evening’s UFC 168 main event, former champion Anderson Silva was taken to a local Las Vegas hospital where he underwent surgery to repair a broken left leg. The successful surgery, performed by Dr. Steven Sanders, the UFC’s orthopedic surgeon, inserted an intramedullary rod into Anderson’s left tibia. The broken fibula was stabilized and does not require a separate surgery. Anderson will remain in the hospital for a short while, but no additional surgery is scheduled at this time. Recovery time for such injuries may vary between three and six months.

“Anderson is deeply touched by the outpouring of support from his fans and the entire MMA community. There has been no immediate decision about his future, and he would kindly ask for privacy at this time as he deals with his injury and prepares to return home to recover.”

Drie tot 6 maanden herstel dus. Daarna nog weer in fighting shape komen. Niet zo ernstig dus als het in eerste instantie leek, maar vrij ingrijpend desalniettemin.

Komt Anderson Silva hier nog van terug?
