Dallas Winston: Can you expand on some of your health concerns going into the Poirier fight?
Chan Sung Jung: Now that the fight is over, I can come out and say that my injuries were/are pretty bad. I've been struggling with a bum knee for quite a while now. Actually, it been okay for most of the camp, but started to really hurt near the end of the camp and approaching the fight.
“Then there's my shoulder. My shoulder had been giving me problems for months now and keeping from doing pulling exercises, pull-ups, chin-ups, even pushups. I finally had an MRI done and the doctor's verdict is that I have a tear in my rotator cuff.
“He recommended immediate surgery, but I wasn't about to let some skinny-necked doctors stand between me and my goal, so I played it down and trained through the pain… If you look at pictures of me before my American fights, you'll see a pretty dramatic change in my physical build; musculature, if you will.â€
