After attempting to put pressure on the leg, his knee buckled and the cage-side doctor called a stop to the fight as Crute lost via injury TKO. A few days after the fight and Crute has now provided an update on the injury he suffered. According to the Aussie, there is the belief he suffered a knee injury in the fight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think I did a bit of damage to my LCL, I think that\u2019s what they said it looked like when I fell. But it\u2019s just gutting because I didn\u2019t get the opportunity to go out on my own terms. The perineal nerve just gets better by itself, but I feel like I\u2019ve done ligament damage. I\u2019ve blown an ACL, so I sort of know what the ligament damage feels like. But yeah, I\u2019ve got to get a scan. I can\u2019t get a scan until I get out of hotel quarantine, so yeah, it\u2019s frustrating. I\u2019m stuck in here, I don\u2019t know what\u2019s wrong with my knee, I don\u2019t know how long I have to have off. But yeah, we\u2019ll have to wait and see,&#8221; Crute told <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/eAC-qj6IsEU\">Submission Radio<\/a> (transcript via Jesse Holland of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2021\/4\/28\/22408017\/jimmy-crute-still-in-dark-over-ufc-261-injury-cant-get-scan-until-get-out-quarantine-mma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAMania.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Crute admitted that one of the kicks that Smith threw at him hurt the nerves in his legs, but he says that he regained the feeling in his leg not long after the fight was stopped.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe hit me with this leg kick that hit me in the perineal nerve and just took out my whole bottom leg. Like, I couldn\u2019t feel. Literally, it just felt like my leg had been dipped in fire, and then it went numb and I couldn\u2019t feel anything in my leg. And then I kept rolling my ankle. But as soon as that happened, I just thought, oh well, I guess we\u2019ll just have to grapple now. I knew the feeling in my leg would come back. With that nerve damage, it only lasts for about a minute or two. So, I knew that if I just grounded him, hopefully by the end of the round I could get some feeling back in my leg and we could go for the second. It took a little bit longer to get the feeling back. I think I literally started walking again normally like 20 seconds after they called the fight. So, it was really frustrating,&#8221; Crute said.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think is next for Jimmy Crute after losing to Anthony Smith at UFC 261?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC light heavyweight contender Jimmy Crute provided an update on his injured leg from the Anthony Smith fight at UFC 261.
