MMA Injuries

[Jagermeister]

What are the most common injuries you have sustained while training as a MMA fighter?

 

[Lisa]

I wouldn't consider myself a MMA "fighter", no UFC/competition aspirations here

The only injury I have done to myself, outside of the occasional bleeding nose, bruise or velcro burns, is injure a rib, not let it heal properly and now the pain has become somewhat chronic.

Um....most common I see in others is either cuts above the eye or knee issues. Most common on me would be bruised or black eyes or cuts.

nothing major, bumps, bruises, cut lips, odd hyper extension or twisted something.

My wife always asks me why there are scratches and bruises all over my body (from where the gi was pulled tight on me, or where I was hit).

Bruised ribs were the biggest issue for me.

Strains, sprains, and various torn material. I've broken fingers and a clavicle on the ground. Small bones in the hand from punching. I did both of my wrists falling. Took a side kick to the ribs that broke a few as a teen. Smashed my nose a few times and smashed my toes. When I competed, I spent more time injured then healthy...and I think that is the norm.
