It was an incredible performance by Strickland \u2014 especially since so many people had counted him out \u2014 but it didn\u2019t come without consequences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">After his UFC 328 victory, Strickland revealed that he had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-328-live-stream-fight-card-start-time-how-to-watch\/442886\/idiot-sean-strickland-suffered-a-seperated-shoulder-during-ufc-328-fight-week\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">severely separated his shoulder<\/a> in the lead up to his clash with Chimaev. A dew days later and Strickland confirmed he had a \u201cType 2 AC separation,\u201d which included a partial tear to his rotator cuff. It\u2019s an injury that would typically require surgery and come with an extended layoff to recover.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Fortunately, Strickland is already exploring alternative options to surgery and that includes a stop over at a clinic recommended by Rogan. On Friday, the UFC middleweight champion took to social media to share his visit to the rehab center with a video captioned, \u201cFixing the muscle tear without going under the knife.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Check it out below and let us know if you think Strickland will make a quicker return to the Octagon than originally expected!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cReal small tear,\u201d said Strickland. \u201cJoe Rogan got me on this place, he swears by it.
