Corey Anderson fejsérülését részletezi
Bár a nyitókép is elég húzós, valószínűleg az, hogy mi vezetett odáig sokkal ijesztőbb.
A félnehézsúlyú ranglistán negyedik helyet elfoglaló Corey Anderson Instagram profilján osztott meg néhány képet és gondolatot a fejtrauma kapcsán. Az történt, hogy egy héttel a durva KO vereség után, amit Jan Blachowicztól szenvedett el, egy erdei barangolás közben eszméletét vesztette és arccal a murvára zuhant.
Its been a long road back.. BUT never the less we are back! . . . . Feb 21st following my last fight I blacked out and collapsed smashing my face on a gravel road after scouting some land for hrs. Ended up in the ER for 5 days running numerous of test and blood work to figure out what happened. I seen a long list of different doctors, all but one said it was do to major concussion and lack of water and food after hiking through the woods for hrs. 1 doctor would tell me it was my heart... that my heart had stopped beating and it could happen again but next time in a fight!! Instantly my wifes face change and my emotions as well. I become angry with doctors bc i was scared internally. I would take many trips to NYU hospital meeting several different specialist during many more test and undergoing 2 very painful outpatient heart procedures to find more evidence to go along with that ONE doctors notes He had put a complete halt to my career as a fighter until it was clear my heart was safe to compete. And as of last monday night, I left hospital for the final time after my last procedure, with clearance note in hand, and the doctor telling me "Congrats Mr. Anderson, I can let you go back to beating people up!" . . . After my fight the commission/medics failed to do the proper after fight check up and I went back to living life as normal. And I paid a hefty price!! This whirlwind 5 months have put ALOT of things into perspective and as a veteran fighter who in the past has just fought with reckless abandoned with no care for rest and mental health long as I can keep fighting. I advise you other fighters to look after your health if you took some big shots to your head in a fight or practice, take the proper time to recover. It took me having my son sitting there looking at me in a hospital bed to realize there is real life after fighting and I want to be here to enjoy it. Fight smart, train smart, but recover and rest SMARTER!! Use your head while you still have the brains to do so. . Huge thank you to @taylorrpricee of the @ufc who was always on top of getting everything going EVERY STEP OF THE WAY! As well as @aliabdelaziz000 and Hunter Campbell #motivationmonday

Jónéhány orvost és specialistát végigjárva végül arra a következtetésre jutottak, hogy az agyrázkódás, a dehidratáció és az éhség kombinációja vezetett a balesethez. Közben pedig néhány orvos olyasmivel is riogatta, hogy valószínűleg a szíve állt meg egy pillanatra és ez akár mérkőzés közben is bekövetkezhet.
Úgy tűnik, Anderson már rendben van és a szívével sincs baj. Ugyanakkor az orvosi komissziót teszi felelőssé a történtekért, azt állítja, az ő hibájuk, hogy a meccs utáni vizsgálaton nem észlelték az agyrázkódás súlyosságát. Jobbulást kívánunk neki, reméljük nem hamarkodja el a visszatérést és egészségesen lép majd az oktagonba.
