Rampage Jackson's Brutal Meniscus Injury 😬
I got injured when I fought Ryan Bader, but I didn't back out. It was in Japan, and Dana White talked trash about me in the Press Club, saying he didn't think my heart was in it. I texted him and explained that I had a tear in my meniscus. I told him I was still going to fight despite the injury, which happened about a month before the fight while training with a wrestler. During the fight, my meniscus got ripped all the way off, and I had to get surgery afterward. Even though my health wasn't good, I still fought because it was Japan, and I thought maybe I could win. I don't know what's wrong with me.
