Whittaker out until 2019 due to hands injuries
“It’s still only several weeks from surgery,” said Whittaker to Ariel Helwani, as transcribed by MMA Fighting. “I can’t even start a rehab process yet, it’s more of just letting it heal and letting it set properly first. "They put a plate and some screws. People don’t know this but also I did ligament damage in my left hand ... I definitely won’t be ready before next year. ... The healing process has to be done before I can even start a rehab program and then I need to strengthen my hand up to 100 percent. Then, when I’m a 100 percent, I’d like to get a little bit of training done. Realistically, I’m looking at like February of next year.”
