Injuries are a part of mixed martial arts (MMA) and not just in combat, but in preparation.
Such has been the case in Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) more and more.
The injury bug's most recent victim, No. 5-ranked welterweight Matt Brown, who was pegged to face The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 17 winner Kelvin Gastelum in the UFC Fight Night 78 headliner in Monterrey, Mexico later this month (Sat., Nov. 21, 2015), took to the "Great MMA Debate" podcast (via FOX Sports) to clear the air surrounding the ailment he suffered during training at his Elevation Fight Team camp.
