Chael Sonnen Had Colon Surgery One Day Before Rashad Evans Fight @ UFC 167

Quote :

Chael Sonnen had several inches of his colon removed during emergency surgery on Nov. 15, just one day before his first-round loss to Rashad Evans at UFC 167.
Sonnen confirmed - sort of, as only he can - that he had the procedure during a taping of TSN's Off The Record on Wednesday, after host Michael Landsberg revealed that a source told him about it.

"I would say this: I don't make excuses before fights or after fights, and if I had anything to deal with, I'll deal with it. But when it's time to fight, I'll walk out there and fight. "It's a little bit of a surprise that you had that information," replied Sonnen when asked about whether he had undergone surgery.

"Look here's the bottom line: When I sign a contract to fight, I'm agreeing to fight a guy on a certain day at a certain time and in a certain venue. It's my job to feel good when I go out and do it and if I don't that may play a hand in the fight."

well damn sonnens stock just keeps going up with me.

Great ... so he fights one day post op... assuming with a Medical Clearance... blows stitches in his colon and bleeds to death out his asshole. ... Just what every UFC fan would want to see.

Does that make him a hero or jerk? Or... maybe just St00pid.

I hate to be the party pooper, but this isn't true.

It hasn't been proven to be true or untrue. Chael hasn't admitted nor denied it.

no way thats true. no doctor in their right mind allow someone to fight one day after an invasive surgery.

No, it isn't true, whether Chael confirms it or not. Use your brain here; how the hell would he get approved to fight? On top of that, you have to recover from surgery, usually in the hospital. But even if you're home, you're tender and sore at best, and bedridden at worst. You're not fighting in a pro MMA match one day after surgery.

Or are you....

LOL

But uh..... No. Really, no.

LOL!!
