I put it here because everyone including mods/admins wanted an update on his status from PFL.
Please move if you feel it shouldn't be here altogether or when you feel enough time has passed.
The regular season finale of the Professional Fighters League featured a series of incredibly violent finishes, including on the opening fight of the preliminary card between heavyweights Muhammed De’Reese and LeRoy Johnson.
Inside of 2 1⁄2 minutes, De’Reese unleashed a brutal knee to Johnson’s head, causing the 38-year-old to faceplant into unconsciousness. Video of the KO can be seen below.
Johnson (8-3) remained on the ground for several minutes before being transported to a local hospital. According to his manager, Daniel Rubenstein, Johnson needed two surgeries, and one of them was for a slipped vertebrae.

My best wishes go out to him and his family. I hope for a speedy recovery.
