5 months, that is a long time.

Cleaner, they sawed his jaw in half and removed a good bit of bone and marrow. That infection was nasty af! It’s gotta have ample time to heal! I’m 2.5 months out of breaking quite a few bones, and I don’t think I’ll be right for months to come. But then again, I’m not the Beast that Beterbiev is!

[STREET CLEANER]

It is totally understandable but such a complicated procedure, recuperation and then to get ready for a fight. You would think that they would scrap the fight all together. There is no telling how he is going to heal plus he is up there in age.

I was thinking wtf? January? But yeah, January at the earliest.

Hopefully Smith takes a stay busy fight.

I had the medical procedure Beterbiev is having, the bruising lasted for 2 months, swelling lasted for about the same

[tonysoprano]

Age is going to catch up with Artur at some point soon. He’s nearing 40.

Smith is much better than Yarde he might do something here.

I applaud Beterbiev's uncanny ability to cheat death at every given turn, and not only that, beat up its subordinates within an inch of their lives.

Artur Beterbiev: keeping Father Time on the back foot since 2013.

Sounds like a nasty procedure he went through. I hope his iron jaw won't be compromised.
