LAS VEGAS – UFC middleweight Chris Curtis is still healing up, but he’s getting there.
The hamstring he injured in April during the final seconds of his unanimous decision loss vs. Brendan Allen is nearing it’s final recovery stages. It may never be the same, admitted Curtis (31-11 MMA, 5-3 UFC) – but it’ll be good enough.
“I’m a lot better than I was,” Curtis said Wednesday as he spoke to MMA Junkie Radio at SEICon at Virgin Hotels. “We had lots of improvements. I still had a differential between legs strength-wise. But they’re kind of thinking that might just be where I am now. Like, I’m missing part of my hamstring. It’s just gone. It’s de-spawned. It’s gone forever. So that may be my new normal. … You’ve got three parts of your hamstring. The inside part has two attachment heads. One of those heads just de-spawned forever, just never to be seen again. It just obliterated in the injury. It’s just gone.
