That's right.

You're listening to another episode of the Co-Main event MMA podcast. I'm your co-host, Chad Dundas from bleacherreport.com. And joining us, as always, from MMA junkie and USA Today. It's your friend and mine. Mr. Ben, Fulkes. Ben, how are you doing this week?

I'm doing okay, Chad. How are you doing?

I'm doing well. Just no new ailments that you want to inform us over or anything like that?

You know, I didn't really want to inform people of the original ailment. Oh, that's right. I forgot

about that aspect of it. I will say that I'm healing up well. It turns out I had the MRSA in my arm. I had to go to the doctor and they cut that thing open and drained it.

And it was highly unpleasant.

They stuffed a bunch of gauze in there.

And I've been going back like every day or every other day sometimes to have them remove the gauze and put more gauze in there.

And it hurts like a mophow mofo now i know that's true

because you text messaged me a photo yeah of the hole in your arm yeah i knew you would hate that

it wasn't that huge like i was it kind of expecting a bigger hole well the whole after i got the

after getting the complete cell from you it's not the hole was like, it's not like staff ate a hole in my arm.

The hole was surgically made.

So they were able to limit it in size.

I had to, I did not look when they first did it.

It was super like tender and like big swollen gross thing and they cut it open.

And I could not bring myself to look at it for the first few appointments.

And then when I finally did look after it, you know, it's much better by the time I took

that picture and sent it to you.
