Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua was forced to undergo knee surgery again after his win over Lyoto Machida last month at the UFC 113 event.
Rua has struggled with knee problems in the past and had surgery on his left knee in 2007.
“He had the surgery in L.A. He’s gonna do all his therapy in Vegas. So he’s gonna be in Vegas for the next five weeks. He needed it after the fight. He got hurt in the fight. He’s got a knee problem now, and he got it fixed. He had a bad knee after the fight,” UFC president Dana White said at Thursday’s pre-UFC 115 press conference.
