Jonas Magard is coming off cheekbone surgery that prevented him from fighting for the title at the O2 Arena. But less than two weeks later, he has already shown up for a training session and sent a video of it to the fans. What was his message to them?
Oktagon fans missed two very interesting fights at the end of the year. One of them was supposed to feature Jonas Magard, but he got injured shortly before the tournament.
The reigning champion broke his collarbone when he took a knee to the face while sparring. “It didn’t put me down, I still felt fine. Except for the hole in my face where my cheekbone was.
Coach made me go to the hospital to get checked,” he expressed on Instagram. “At the hospital they did a CT scan of my face and couldn’t believe what they saw.
I broke my cheekbone in three different places and had to have surgery. Despite all that, I still wanted to fight,” said the Danish Shark.
Magard revealed, among other things, that he asked the doctors if he could have the surgery after the fight. But the answer was clear, the surgery had to be as soon as possible and that’s what happened.
Now the Dane has had it and can concentrate fully on his recovery. He won’t be in the cage for a while. However, less than two weeks after the surgery he has already shown up for training!
“Less than two weeks after surgery I’m back and back on my paws with the trainer. I don’t have time to sit around feeling sorry for myself, I’m moving forward,” he told his fans.
