Ricardo Lamas Fought With A Blood Clot In His Leg At UFC Fight Night 140
In a post on Twitter, Ricardo Lamas revealed that he had a blood clot in his leg when he fought and defeated Darren Elkins at UFC Fight Night 140.
He wrote: “My first day Argentina I noticed that my left calf muscle felt tight and sore to the touch, I thought maybe it was a small muscle pull or something of that nature, but as the week went on it worsened. The day of the fight I had someone work on it and try to get the muscle to release and it was extremely painful. After getting it checked out by the doctors and having an ultrasound done on the muscle, it turns out I formed a blood clot in my calf muscle during the flight to Argentina from being seated in a tight area for so long. Things could’ve ended badly if the clot became dislodged during the fight. So I guess I also have to thank whoever was watching over me during the fight. So I guess I can say I ‘fought with a blood clot blood clot!’ (Rasta voice)”
