Markham 'did not mention any chest pains at pre-fight medical'

[John@FightersOnly]

Rory Markham did not mention anything about experiencing chest pains until after his fight with Dan Hardy at UFC 95, Fighters Only has learned.

Yesterday, a friend of Markham’s claimed that the Miletich fighter had sustained a collapsed lung prior to the fight, which allegedly affected his performance.

But Dr. Chris Lam, the ringside physician at UFC 95, told Fighters Only today that Markham “didn't inform any of the medical team that he had chest problems until after his fight“.

how are you able to breathe let alone fight with 1 collasped lung thats crazy

will he have surgery? what will happen to his lung

[ReD_mIst]

Wouldn't they pick up a colapsed lung up when they listened to his breathing with the stethoscope

He could have had a collapsed lung, a heart arhythmia, cut 20lbs overnight and it would STILL have no bearing on the result. Dan knocked him out early doors before cardio became an issue.

Excuses, excuses, excuses.

how did it effect his performance? it wasnt like the fight when on for any ammount of time, and wasnt like dan took him down and he struggled to get back up... lol, what a joker.. you got ko'd, 2 fully working lungs would have had the same result..

I've not heard anyone from Markham's camp claim otherwise.

Yeah... You could see his cardio was really lacking in the minute he fought... lol.
