Sodiq Yusuff, preparing to fight Mairon Santos at UFC Vegas 106, signifies a shift as he moves up to lightweight. After dealing with significant injuries, particularly to his spine that sidelined him since April 2024, Yusuff emphasizes the importance of health in his fighting career. His recovery process included stem cell treatments and physical therapy. While he's unsure if this move to 155 is permanent, Yusuff acknowledges that cutting weight to fight at 145 had its health challenges.
Dealing with life and injuries. Injuries, injuries. Trying to put my body back together.
Health has been a real big thing with me. I've been fighting at 45 since I was a kid. It wasn't very healthy.
