Ramiz Brahimaj’s return to the UFC arena showcases his perseverance and persistence. Following a challenging spinal injury, Brahimaj is ready to return to the Octagon and compete against Themba Gorimbo at UFC Fight Night 241. During a private interview with MMAMania.com, Brahimaj discusses the obstacles he encountered while going through his recovery journey.
Brahimaj initially faced a challenging obstacle caused by a brachial plexus injury and damage to his C-5 vertebra from spinal stenosis and disc injuries. Participating in wrestling drills caused the injury, resulting in visits to several doctors, with the majority advising surgery. Nonetheless, at the age of 30, Brahimaj chose a different path, immersing himself in thorough research and undergoing rigorous physical therapy with the support of a reputable physician.
