UFC's Peter Sobotta: 'We need to change our training culture to avoid injuries'

UFC welterweight Peter Sobotta shares Dana White's opinion on injuries and feels a new approach to training could prevent most injuries from happening.

UFC president Dana White made waves two weeks ago when he accused "camps such as American Kickboxing Academy" of still living in the "stone ages" when it comes to training. The reason behind his comments was the high frequency of injuries to the likes of heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez.

A man that also knows a thing or two about injuries is German UFC veteran Peter Sobotta. After his first UFC win at UFC Fight Night: Munoz vs Mousasi in Berlin last year, Sobotta went right back to training at Victory MMA in San Diego.
