KZ and I went to the hospital yesterday to meet with Stun Gun's team and heard the whole story. 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.
It's a terrible way to lose a fight and Stun Gun is really bummed out about it. I'm sure he'll be back and going strong soon enough, though!

I thought he'd broken a spare rib.

When you dont expect it, it causes more damage imo. Im sure he was caught off guard by it. Much like most KOs they are unexpected.
GL to Stun Gun though and hope he comes back to display some more great Judo .

Was def weird and lol at people acting like Maia made it happen and would have tapped Dong anyhow.
That was a non-fight.

I was hyped for the fight. That really was a non-fight.

IMHO, if the injury had happened during the takedown, as most of us had thought, it wouldn't be as much of an issue. The fact that it happened the way that it did is such a weird way to end a fight.

I occasionally get severe spasms in my calves and it's fucking excruciating. it only happens when i'm asleep though after really wrecking my legs during the day overdoing a workout or cardio. worst pain i've ever imagined. can't imagine that happening in other muscles. always wakes me up screaming, and takes hours for relief/muscle relaxation.

I believe more potassium when you rehydrate post-workout will help with that.
