I broke it three weeks before and I didn’t throw it a day until the fight itself.”

“I didn’t throw it until right backstage,” he added. “I didn’t throw my hands for three weeks, my right hand.” The ‘Nigerian Nightmare’ disclosed that he injured the hand while training with teammate Justin Gaethje.
