Just read what's going on with Robert Whitaker. Hope he makes a full recovery, didn't know he pulled out of the fight due to Staph. Crazy that they allowed Kevin Lee to fight with staph.

They need to run Lee and Ferguson back Let Khabib handle Conor
Cheech&Chong
rip chinx
I don't think they let him fight. Didn't he keep it a secret till his post fight presser after everyone saw the mark on his chest?

Still everyone should already know how dangerous staph is as a fighter
It’s one of those common things that gets easily underestimated.
Fighters are almost always exposed to insane amounts of bacteria. Rolling around on filthy ass mats. Saunas and gym showers are havens for staph. They all probably get staph all the time and it just doesn’t get too bad

This seems like one of those things that even if he does make it back, he won’t be the same. I’m not a medical professional, but an infection eating your internal organs seems like a life altering event for a normal person. Yet alone a high-level pro athlete.

I might be wrong but I don't think saunas are hot enough to kill bacteria.
I completly understand why Kevin Lee didn't say anything, but that is a really dikkish thing to do, specially if you are planning to wrestlefukk tour oponent, he exposed Ferg to bacteria and shyt.
damn near the complete opposite my dude. saunas are the perfect environment for bacteria and viruses. Plus people don’t shower before going in because they’d just have to shower again after they get out.
