Kosport Magazine: Chris Curtis Suffers Leg Injury in UFC Vegas 90 Main Event
It was a night of highs and lows at UFC Vegas 90 as veteran middleweight Chris Curtis faced off against Brendan Allen in the main event. The two fighters put on a show for the fans, but unfortunately, it ended in a devastating injury for Curtis.
The fight was a back-and-forth battle, with both fighters giving it their all. But in the closing seconds of the fight, Curtis suffered a leg injury that left him needing to be carried out of the octagon on a stretcher.
According to Curtis’ head coach Eric Nicksick, it is believed that he tore his hamstring in the final exchange of the fight. This was confirmed by the UFC’s staff doctor at the arena, and an MRI will be done next week to determine the full extent of the injury.
While the exact diagnosis won’t be known until then, Nicksick estimates that it could take up to four months for Curtis to fully recover. This is a tough blow for the fighter, who came within one round on one scorecard of earning the victory on Saturday.
Despite accepting the fight on short notice, Curtis gave Allen everything he could handle in the 25-minute battle. It was a valiant effort, but unfortunately, it ended in a heartbreaking injury.
As fans and fellow fighters, we can only hope for a speedy recovery for Chris Curtis. In the meantime, let’s give him our support and well wishes as he begins his road to recovery.
