What Happened In The Ring
A no contest is the correct call when a fight ends on an injury rather than a punch. Neither man takes a win and neither takes a loss.
Rampage Jackson, who is on commentary for the event, pointed out that Wheels will likely need surgery. He also said that if Wheels were more experienced, he might have attempted to fight with one arm. As it was, the fight was ended and ruled a no contest.
Nothing official has been released about the specific injury. Rampage Jackson’s read on commentary is the only medical opinion on the record, and the timeline below is general information about distal biceps repair rather than anything anyone has said about Wheels.
What Distal Biceps Repair And Recovery Typically Involves
- Surgery reattaches the torn tendon to the forearm bone, and it is generally done soon after the tear rather than delayed
- The arm is immobilized in a splint for at least four weeks following the procedure
- The incision is checked at roughly the two-week mark
- Physical therapy runs from about week two through week 12, opening with gripping and range-of-motion work
- Resistance work and weight training are added later in that window, not at the start
- Rehabilitation is typically complete at three to four months
- A formal readiness assessment for strenuous exercise usually comes around six months post-surgery
