Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Battle followers aren’t liking the appears to be like of Benoit Saint Denis’ brow, and that’s not a knock on the rising Light-weight contender’s look.
Saint Denis is scheduled to face former interim champion Dustin Poirier this weekend (Sat. March 9, 2024) within the co-main occasion of UFC 299 from Miami, Florida. It’s a five-round reserving and one of the vital extremely anticipated bouts of the cardboard, as Poirier is a beloved knockout artist whereas “BSD” is on a significant tear, having received 5 bouts in a row by way of stoppage.
Sadly, Saint Denis has an disagreeable trying wound on his brow. Many took discover of the opening throughout current combat week-related media, and fairly a number of have recognized the wound as a staph an infection, one of many extra severe sicknesses that wrestling rooms can move on.
It’s not simply followers both, as fellow UFC Light-weight contender Renato Moicano thinks it could possibly be staph as nicely.
BSD seems with one thing the seem like a staph an infection. Might that change the combat ? Is he taking antibiotics? Will this variation the result of the combat ?! Give me your ideas on the remark #ufc299 pic.twitter.com/biwYpNeX36

Reactions have been blended on-line, from full on panic to others dismissing the problem. Take a look at a pattern beneath:
appears to be like like a badly popped pimple
if somebody has staph, doesn’t the combat get cancelled robotically?
It doesn’t change the combat as a result of Dustin was all the time going to dominate
I feel he mentioned in an interview that it was from a bullet spherical when he was capturing. However who is aware of. If that’s certainly staph an infection, it might completely play an enormous issue. I feel BSD will likely be high-quality although
If bros on antibiotics it’s going to be a depressing weight minimize
That’s gross. He shouldn’t combat with that.
Right here’s the issue with the hypothesis: anybody could possibly be appropriate. With out getting the an infection examined, a small wound like that could possibly be a nasty staph an infection totally within the blood stream or it could possibly be a popped pimple or it could possibly be a finger nail scratch with another sort of an infection. Not each staph an infection ends in Kevin Randleman-esque wounds; that stage of decomposition could be very unusual!
That mentioned, antibiotics could possibly be an actual speaking level whether it is certainly staph. Antibiotics are recognized to wreak havoc on an athlete’s conditioning. For instance, Luke Rockhold almost handed out from exhaustion after defeating Chris Weidman, and he attributed the fatigue to a staph and antibiotic combo.
Bettors beware?

If I’m being totally sincere, I assumed Mickey Gall acquired launched in some unspecified time in the future within the final 12 months or two.
Is my reminiscence additionally defective in remembering Sean O’Malley and/or UFC advertising and marketing him as Irish after Contenders Sequence? I really feel like that was a part of the Conor McGregor comparisons.
