STITCHES? Rockhold Uses Superglue On Head Wound Prior To Machida Fight
Stiches? We don’t need no stinking stitches. That’s apparently what UFC middleweight Luke Rockhold was thinking three weeks before his scheduled bout with Lyoto Machida.
Rockhold, in a post-fight interview with Ariel Helwani, explained the bald spot on the top of his head.
“You see that bald spot? I’m not getting old. I took one day off. It was three weeks before the fight. I just wanted to get some surfing in. The first wave, I do a turn, roll over, and just come back and smacked my head on the reef.”
“Two out of the last four surf sessions that I had at this place, I cracked my head. I’ve been surfing there my whole live and I’ve never hit my head.”
“I couldn’t stitch this one up so I had to actually shave it and glue it because that was the only way to train for the last week of training camp, so I superglued my head. We did surgery on it, shaved it and that’s why there’s a bald spot.”
Fun fact: It was apparently BJPENN.COM’s own Layzie The Savage who shaved the spot in Rockhold’s head!
You are correct, my friend. That's what friends are for… LoL https://t.co/zyY5wdwv4a
