The fighter claimed that after his CT scans come back clear he will return to training MMA. He said, “the body’s doing good. I’m out here my full team you know. Obviously, I’m enjoying the Monaco Grand Prix and then you know. After that, we’re going to up the training a little bit, bit by bit.”

He added, “I should be able to kick now. Another CT scan now in the coming days and then I’ll be clear to kick. Once I can kick and grapple, I’ll be back in no time. So boxing training has gone well and strength training and that so I’m excited to get back.”
