“I had to get an MRI immediately to find out what was going on. You have to understand, I was scared as hell. I was thinking, ‘Maybe I’ll have open heart surgery tonight.’ But everything was okay with the aorta. The only thing that was wrong was a leaking aortic valve and an enlarged heart.”
“Well, it needs to heal really good. You need to take your time with that. But, I got a lot of messages from a lot of people who practice a lot of sports, and I got messages that people did a triathlon about four months later. It’s nothing even compared to when you’re going to the cage and your body needs to, you know, endure. Most people say that after the surgery, they are more energetic. When I was training, like around five or six I was really tired, it was really weird. But, I’m going to get through this.”
