After examination, Carwin (12-1) was told that even without surgery, he would be out a minimum of 8-12 weeks but was advised that an operation would be the recommended long-term remedy. Genet would not disclose the exact procedure Carwin would undergo, only saying it would address both back and neck injuries.
“We’re trying to avoid spending 12 weeks with rehabilitation, traction, pain pills and epidurals, only to end up getting surgery anyway,” Genet said.
His surgery is set for Nov. 2, but a return timetable is yet unknown for the star.
Back and neck injuries are notoriously difficult to rehabilitate, but Genet insists that Carwin will rebound to be a factor in the UFC’s heavyweight division.
