UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland has received a significant boost in his recovery journey, thanks to a recommendation from UFC commentator Joe Rogan. Strickland, who sustained a shoulder injury prior to his UFC 328 title defense against Khamzat Chimaev, has found a promising treatment option that may allow him to avoid surgery.
Despite the injury, Strickland successfully defended his title, and later revealed he also broke his nose during the bout. However, the focus has now shifted to his shoulder, where he has been diagnosed with an AC separation and a minor muscle tear.
Joe Rogan, a known advocate for alternative therapies, connected Strickland with the Ways2Well clinic. There, doctors confirmed the nature of his injury after an MRI and proposed stem cell therapy as a treatment. This approach is expected to facilitate a quicker return to training and competition compared to surgical intervention.
In a recent social media post, Strickland expressed his optimism. “Real small tear,” he stated. “Ways2Well, they are going to fix me up. Joe Rogan got me on this place; he swears by it. Weโre gonna get back in the cage soon.” Rogan himself has previously undergone treatment at Ways2Well for plasmapheresis therapy.
The injury update comes as potential contenders emerge for Strickland’s next title defense. Khamzat Chimaev has reportedly requested an immediate rematch, though UFC President Dana White has yet to confirm the next steps for the middleweight division.
