Don’t let the headline scare you. Rousey did indeed sustain injuries last night in her title defense against Alexis Davis but nothing to serious. The 1st being a hand injury. Apparently Rousey has been working with this injury for quite sometime. She’s had it ever since before her fight with Sarah Mcmann in February. Rousey says in her last two fight camps she kept ripping her knuckle open and she wrapped it up dismissing it as nothing serious. She admits she should’ve taken it more seriously because the ripping of the knuckles eventually became a cyst. With the punches she landed on Davis the cyst popped requiring the champ to get 9 stitches. Rousey now says she hopes the cyst is gone now but will be going to the doctor to get it checked out
The 2nd injury isn’t a injury rather then a precautionary measure After years of combat she’s going to get her knee scoped out. She says its nothing serious but it’s more of maitnence she needs to be doing. In a post fight interview last night she says she expects to be out for four weeks. She also had this to say about her injuries. “It’s my right hand and my right knee. It’s cool I’m left handed anyway”
