Comments Thread For: Vergil Ortiz (Rhabdomyolysis) Hospitalized, Forced To Withdraw From March 19 DAZN Headliner

[KTFOKING]

The condition is common with MMA fighters making weight. Is Ortiz big for the weight? Or just messed up cutting this time.

Vergil is a big WW but just came in camp out of shape and he's known to work extremely hard in the gym and probably went harder trying to cut weight. Sucks.

Rhabdo! No Bueno! Can do serious damage to your Kidneys! Might be time for 154?

I am sure he looks bad, to someone who has no concept of what the medical issue it is that he has. Or any concept whatsoever of anything medical, period.

It’s easier to argue that he has gone out of his way to become fake hospitalized to duck a guy with 2 KO’s, than it is to actually try to understand what he was hospitalized with.

But that’s the world we live in.

Ortiz didn't duck McKinnon. Ortiz signed the fight. Ortiz would have fought McKinnon if he felt well enough. You don't sign for fights if you're intending to duck them. Where's your logic?

Ortiz ducked Avanesyan since WBC said Ortiz has to fight Avanesyan in an eliminator and his team scrambled to make this fight against McKinnon to say hey we're booked, we can't do Avanesyan fight.

Who said it's fake? It's not fake, but it's the result of poor or inappropriate preparation i.e. fighting at wrong weight class, or taking off too much weight too fast. Is it fake when Chavez Jr is keeling over at the weigh in?

Ortiz went to the hospital for documentation of the issue. You can't just say you're not feeling well. Even Ryan Garcia got a medical diagnosis that he was having debilitating anxiety/depression.

People on here have never worked in the medical field. We have formal names for every ailment. People hear some Greek root word and think it's so serious or rare. A scapholunate ligament tear = sprained wrist
