Dusko Todorovic at UFC Vegas 44
Dusko Todorovic is a warrior in his own right. The UFC Vegas 44 fighter did not have a normal training camp leading up to his fight on Saturday.
At UFC Vegas 44, middleweight fighter Dusko Todorovic stunned everyone with his amazing knockout win in the very first round. The fighter was paired against a fairly dangerous Maki Pitolo for his fourth fight in the promotion. Dusko lit up the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada with his first-round KO for sure.
If the middleweight fighter was already not going through a tough time heading into this fight against Pitolo, Dusko met with a devastating accident in July when he was sent a contract for the fight. The fighter kept his injury to himself and managed to pull off the unbelievable on Fight Night.
In his post-fight scrum talking to the reporters, Dusko said, “By the end of July, I got hit by a car. The guy ran over me when I was crossing so he messed up my left leg pretty good.” Todorovic, despite the injury, went through the entire training camp and finally made it to the fight. “I didn’t want to talk to anyone about it.”
Dusko Todorovic’s set back right before making it into the octagon
If overcoming something as huge as a car crash and making it through an entire fight camp was not enough, Dusko was hit with another setback minutes before stepping into the octagon. “It’s still healing, unfortunately, during warm-ups my leg just gave out and popped,” said Dusko to the reporters.
“I got mad and I was pissed off because that leg, those thoughts would come in and that it would hurt or snap. I got used to it but for it to happen right before the fight, a fight that was so important to me…..I got pissed, to be honest,” exclaimed the “Thunder”.
Todorovic is not human after what he just did. With his job on the line coming into this fight, getting run over by car months before his fight, then popping his leg right before making his promotional walk, and then putting on a performance as he did is unbelievable.
