Luke Rockhold details plethora of injuries that led to UFC 230 withdrawal

With an injured leg, a broken nose and a sprained knee, it’s no surprise that Luke Rockhold made the decision to pull out of UFC 230.

Rockhold, who was expected to rematch Chris Weidman in the UFC 230 co-main event, spoke to Submission Radio recently about the plethora of injuries that he was battling with in training camp, starting with the injured leg.

“The leg injury has been a fucking nightmare—a complete nightmare. It was a misinformed surgery,” Rockhold said, per MMA Fighting’s Peter Carroll. “Unfortunately, I was misguided by a couple of doctors, and I wouldn’t say malpractice, but it was a pretty idiotic move to open me up on the blade of my shin where they did, and everything I learned thus far.
