UFC's Gunnar Nelson turned London crowd against Leon Edwards before Game of Thrones actor seriously hurt him
The difference between the two men is gargantuan and as fun as it sounded to take on the man mountain like his teammate McGregor did in a spar, wrestling him was not a good idea.
“They’re just terrible it was at the top here so it affects the shoulder, affects the breathing, affects everything. I had two, on each side, but separate injuries.” Thor isn’t aware of the damage that he did and that’s mostly because Nelson’s ego wouldn’t let him admit he was hurt.“I haven’t spoken to him about it,” Nelson said. “I don’t think he knows but I think this is the first time I’ve spoken about it. It happened there, it was fun, I enjoyed it but I wanted to get an armbar from the bottom.
“I catch him with an armbar from the top but I want to get it from the bottom and so I try to do that in the second round, he collapses on top of me and I could feel a nasty pop and seconds after I could just feel it swelling up but something in me was like, I’m not going to say anything now, I’m just going to finish the round.
