"I'm fine, guys," Curtis wrote. "Bit of a fracture in my left foot, caught [Caio Borralho] on the knee, at the very end of the last round of sparring. The bigger problem is I have something called a Lisfranc injury as well, which means I'm not even supposed to be walking without crutches for the next four to five weeks, which sucks but had it been any worse, it would have possibly been surgical. So count your blessings there. Hopefully, I'll be OK for December. If not, I'll see you all next year."
Curtis was looking to get back in the win column after a five-round split decision loss to Brendan Allen in April. Before that setback, the longtime veteran outworked Marc-Andre Barriault at the beginning of the year.
With just two wins in his last six outings—including a no contest against Nassourdine Imavov in 2023 due to a clash of heads—Curtis was hoping to turn things around after starting his UFC run with three straight victories from 2021 to 2022.
"Trailblazer" returned to the middleweight division in June to snap a two-fight skid and Michal Oleksiejczuk's arm as well. That put a pair of defeats to Michael Page and Jack Della Maddalena behind him, albeit in a different weight class.
