Kayla's not been 100% for the last three years, Abdelaziz told Submission Radio. Since her PFL days, she always had tingling. She couldn't lift her arm... The UFC flew her to New York, and the doctors said she immediately needs surgery because if she doesn't get surgery, it could paralyze her. But immediately after the surgery, all the pain is gone.
In this episode of the On Coaching Podcast, Steve Magness and Jon Marcus discuss the concept of 'fit but flat,' exploring the phenomenon where athletes excel in metabolic fitness but fail to perform competitively due to a lack of neuromuscular coordination.
