Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Combat followers aren’t liking the seems of Benoit Saint Denis’ brow, and that’s not a knock on the rising Light-weight contender’s look.
Saint Denis is scheduled to face former interim champion Dustin Poirier this weekend (Sat. March 9, 2024) within the co-main occasion of UFC 299 from Miami, Florida. It’s a five-round reserving and probably the most extremely anticipated bouts of the cardboard, as Poirier is a beloved knockout artist whereas “BSD” is on a serious tear, having received 5 bouts in a row by way of stoppage.
Sadly, Saint Denis has an disagreeable trying wound on his brow. Many took discover of the opening throughout latest combat week-related media, and fairly a number of have identified the wound as a staph an infection, one of many extra severe sicknesses that wrestling rooms can move on.
It’s not simply followers both, as fellow UFC Light-weight contender Renato Moicano thinks it may very well be staph as properly.
BSD seems with one thing the appear to be a staph an infection. Might that change the combat ? Is he taking antibiotics? Will this alteration the result of the combat ?! Give me your ideas on the remark #ufc299 pic.twitter.com/biwYpNeX36

Reactions had been combined on-line, from full on panic to others dismissing the problem. Take a look at a pattern under:
seems like a badly popped pimple
if somebody has staph, doesn’t the combat get cancelled routinely?
It doesn’t change the combat as a result of Dustin was all the time going to dominate
I believe he stated in an interview that it was from a bullet spherical when he was capturing. However who is aware of. If that’s certainly staph an infection, it might completely play an enormous issue. I believe BSD might be superb although
If bros on antibiotics it’s going to be a depressing weight lower
That’s gross. He shouldn’t combat with that.
Right here’s the issue with the hypothesis: anybody may very well be appropriate. With out getting the an infection examined, a small wound like that may very well be a nasty staph an infection totally within the blood stream or it may very well be a popped pimple or it may very well be a finger nail scratch with another sort of an infection. Not each staph an infection leads to Kevin Randleman-esque wounds; that stage of decomposition may be very unusual!
That stated, antibiotics may very well be an actual speaking level whether it is certainly staph. Antibiotics are recognized to wreak havoc on an athlete’s conditioning. For instance, Luke Rockhold practically handed out from exhaustion after defeating Chris Weidman, and he attributed the fatigue to a staph and antibiotic combo.
Bettors beware?
Insomnia
If I’m being totally sincere, I believed Mickey Gall acquired launched sooner or later within the final yr or two.
