Paige VanZant’s comeback tour is underway, but it’s kind of hard to understand why she’s training with a broken arm.
I’m not a doctor, although I am the son of veterinarian, but I’m pretty confident that throwing punches with a broken arm is a really bad idea. (SLIDESHOW
I’ve played enough sports to know that injuries are a tricky business to deal with. (SLIDESHOW: These Are The Greatest Ronda Rousey Photos On The Internet)
That’s why it’s a bit shocking to me that VanZant continues to train when she clearly has a broken arm that is healing. (SLIDESHOW: These UFC Women Really Hate Wearing Clothes)
This isn’t the first time she’s done this either. A few days ago she also posted a video of herself throwing strikes, and again, it was a bit mind-boggling as to why she’d fight with a broken arm.
Maybe she should take a few months off from throwing strikes. I understand wanting to stay in shape, and that makes perfect sense. However, it seems like one bad punch could wreck her arm again.
The fans are desperate to see her fight again, and we don’t need her injured. Just lay on the brakes for a little bit.
