Ariel Helwani during the Daily Line said that people made a lot of BJ going into that fight injured, but he said that Edgar had to go to the hospital after that fight for a staph infection he already had. Can anyone confirm this to be true because this is the first I’ve heard of this?

Yes Frankie had staph infection, it came up really badly a few hours after the fight and someone had to take a cab into Abu Dhabi to get medicine for him. I know, I was there as Ricardo Almeida was trying to arrange the medicine..

100% TRUE.
