Jon Jones RUPTURES PEC Wrestling and is Out of UFC 295 - Doctor Explains
Jon Jones has suffered a pec muscle rupture while wrestling, which is unusual as such injuries typically occur during activities like bench pressing. Dr. Brian Suterer explains that Jones's left arm was bent backwards during a takedown attempt, causing excessive stretch and rupture of the pec muscle. This injury, coupled with Jones's recent weight gain and age, might impact his career, especially since recovery could take 6 to 12 months. There is also speculation about steroid use, but no direct causation is confirmed. The future of Jones's fight with Stipe Miocic is uncertain, potentially marking the end of Jones's career.
