It has been a tough two years for Rob Sinclair, but the UK lightweight is finally getting things in order after overcoming a career threatening injury. Sinclair suffered a dislocated knee just after signing with Bellator in 2013, which put his debut on hold.
It was a “snowball effect” of bad news for Sinclair, who had earned the reputation as the top lightweight in U.K. MMA after winning the BAMMA lightweight title.
Just as he made the move to America, he picked up the injury and with no money coming in and unable to work in his day job, Sinclair struggled to feed his young family, which included a new baby.
