På UFC 148: Silva vs Sonnen II fick matchen mellan Dong Hyun Kim och Demian Maia ett snabbt och snöpligt slut då matchen blåstes av efter 47 sekunder och Maia utropades till vinnare via teknisk knockout till följd av en revbensskada.
Det var oklart exakt vad som hade hänt och spekulationerna var många men nu kommer svaret från Kims översättare Brian Rhee.
”The injury actually occurred about 30 seconds into the fight when the fighters were on the opposite side (from where the fight ended) of the octagon. Maia had one of Stun Gun’s legs, which is a position that he actually likes. As they were tied up, somehow Stun Gun got a muscle spasm in his side. He told his corner that something was wrong. Kim defended Maia’s takedown attempts for a while, but by the time they got to the other side of the Octagon, he was in too much pain. The position in which the injury happened is the kind that happens in training all the time, but for some reason it caused a severe muscle spasm this particular time. It truly was a freak accident.”, skriver Rhee på UG.
Detta innebär förhoppningsvis att det inte var något allvarligt och att vi åter får se ”Stun Gun” i oktagonen inom kort igen.
