I read it like that too at first...

You should never put rupture and sack in the same sentence.

Bursitis sucks so very much, incredibly painful for a short period of time (thankfully), now the meniscus thing… now that is going to cause him some problems :(

Bursitis does suck

But as someone who has had several bouts with it, I can’t see it slowing you down during a fight, especially when it hasn’t had time to swell up. Even a torn meniscus (without ligament damage) isn’t going to be more than painful during the adrenaline rush of a fight. Now meniscus tears come in all sizes but it’s very unlikely he had a severe tear without any ligament damage.

Sounds like some pretty weak excuses to me.

He should just man up and lie and say he was 100% like all other fighters do.

chill peoples

He’s apologizing for his, in his own mind, lackluster, for lack of better word, fight. Besides fighters are human they get hurt he can say he got hurt during a fight it doesn’t make him any less of a warrior. Btw I don’t like story and was rooting for martin the whole time:)

Is the Bursa sack in the knee?

please excuse my ignorance on the subject

by 19Miles on Nov 23, 2011 1:18 PM EST reply actions  

Bursa

is a fluid-filled sack ment to prevent many bones in the body from rubbing together. I know that you have a couple in your shoulder, keeping your shoulder-blade from grinding on your ribs. Wouldn’t at all surprise me to hear you got some in your knees, feet, and other spots.

chill people?

Not this key board warrior!!!… no excuses
   The body has many bursa sacs

   likely to burst are the olecrenon or pre patellar during a fight … pre patellar is in the front of the knee cap .. could also be the trochanteric ( by the hip )
  he would need to clarify, but only the olecrenon could potentially cause be a hindrance since it can quickly fill the elbow with fluid

Apology NOT accepted.

This is what kills me about the CW- fights turn on flash moments, like an injured knee. Not that the two are anywhere near comparable, but in the Wandy fight Cung had ridiculous amounts of trouble dealing with the cut over his eye, he went from enforcing his game to standing right in front of Wandy. The fight didn’t end right there and they managed to stop the bleeding by the second round, but it was the point in the fight were the momentum changed. Not sure if the outcome would have still been the same (and although I picked Le I was rooting for Wandy), but after hearing “football is a game of inches” for the millionth time, I think it would be fair to say that MMA is a game of miliseconds.

no kidding

it’s amazing the huge narratives we make about people that are really based on the tiniest little bits of random chance.

by Clifford J on Nov 23, 2011 4:33 PM EST up reply actions  

Unfortunate, considering there will now forever be people who take away from Kampmann’s victory despite him clearly being the better fighter.

by discoandherpes on Nov 23, 2011 2:29 PM EST reply actions  

Dude, that used to happen to us in skateboarding.

Smack your elbow, and the bursa sack would literally just leak out into your arm. Do a Google search for “swellbow” for some tasty images.
