Johny Hendricks var tvungen att dra sig ur mötet med Tyron Woodley på UFC 192 för tio dagar sedan. Efter att han kände smärta strömma igenom hela kroppen beslutade han sig för att åka till sjukhuset där han fick beskedet att hans tarmar var helt uttorkade och att han fått njursten.
Hendricks har undvikit media om händelsen men när han medverkade på The MMA Hour igår kväll berättade han allt om vad som hände dagarna innan matchen:
Everything was going good. I was drinking two and half gallons a day and I was walking right around 193, which is normal. Then my body just quit, I couldn’t go to the bathroom. It was was if my body was holding on to everything, which was sort of weird. So we started doing the weight cut, and I was still drinking two and half gallons a day. Then I just hit a plateau where I would feel lightheaded, which is common. I didn’t think anything of it, and then I woke up on Thursday feeling really good at 184 pounds. I thought it was going to be perfect, lost 10 pounds then wake up on Friday and have to lose an extra three pounds. I went and did my first session and only lost two pounds. I was like, ’Oh boy.’ That was when my body felt different. I tried to push through it, went and did another session and worked out and that is when I realized something was wrong. Both my left and right sides started to hurt. I went to the hospital and that’s when I found out that my intestines were dried up and that I had a kidney stone on my right side.
Njurstenen är fortfarande ett problem för Hendricks som berättar att den inte passerats. Han berättar om hur han inte kan sova och undviker all träning som rör högersidan av kroppen.
Hendricks erkänner att han missbedömt dieten inför viktnedgången och att det rådjurskött och hög-proteinhaltigt kött han åt var ett dåligt val. Men han tycker ändå inte att han förtjänar den smutskastning som pågått i både medier och sociala medier eftersom ingen egentligen vet vad han tvingats genomgå under de senaste dagarna:
Here’s the thing: I know there is going to be venom spit my way. But people don’t understand, they don’t get to watch one fight. Well, I don’t get paid. I had to give up three months of a training camp that I worked hard and that I was very prepared to fight Woodley. Then the next fight, lets say in March or April, I would be fighting for the title. These people that are spitting venom, they don’t look at that. They only look at what’s in front of them at that moment. What I say to them is, try to lose 20 pounds. I have to lose 30 pounds each training camp. I say to them, come with me and try to lose 20 and I’ll give you a week to do it. How many people can actually say that they’ve lost 20 pounds in one week? I do know that this is my job and that’s what makes me different than everybody else.
